All of em are worth buying, but really, it depends what genre you prefer... if you like fps, gears of war and cod4, if your into strategy - dawn of war...

If you like everything - I'd buy Burnout paradise and COD4

The candidates are:

  • Dawn of War II - Absolutely!
  • Burnout Paradise - Nah
  • Dead Space - Yes
  • Fallout 3 - Maybe
  • King's Bounty - Don't know about this one
  • Call of Duty 4 - Nah
  • Gears of War - Nah
  • Crysis - Must buy if you're an FPS fan
  • F.E.A.R - Nah

Which of those is worth buying?

Sucks because I'm purely biased towards Dawn of War 2 since it's THE game of the moment. If you're partly serious about it...get it! Otherwise, it's Dead Space for the scares and Crysis for the best FPS experience in the last 3 years (beats CoD4 by a mile).

In my opinion they are all worth buying but if you must go with just 1 I would choose F.E.A.R.

Dead Space, Fallout 3, COD4, Crysis, and F.E.A.R. are all definitely worth buying. I have no played DoW2, King's Bounty, or GoW, but I've heard that GoW is amazing.

Have you played any of them before?

If not, play them. If so, get some of the games.

For a computer, I'd get F.E.A.R., Crysis, and maybe Fallout 3. I'd get Dawn of War II, but I havn't looked at it much, and I suck at strategy games :P

For a console I'd get Gears of War, Burnout, Fallout 3 and Dead Space.

Though, I'd rent Dead Space or borrow it from a friend, because I rented it before and only have a few more hours to go, and I'm not too interested in racing games at the moment.

I havn't really hear of King's Bounty
Most people will say Call of Duty 4 is awesome and you should get it. Whatever floats your boat on that one. Its pretty good.

Edit: Play those other games If you havn't already...

zeleni92
It seems odd to put Gears of War into your choice of First Person Shooter. That is like putting Crysis into the RPG category. It depends... do you like RTS, FPS, RPG, ActionRACING, Whatever the hell Dead Space and King's Bounty would be (i think KB would be RPG though... never played it), Or TPS (Gears of War). I am a fan of all of those (with ActionRACING be the least), but i would say CoD4 shooter wise, Fallout 3 RPG wise, and Dawn of War 2 RTS wise, oh and Burnout for ActionRACING, And last, but not least Gears of War for the TPS. The last 3 games were easy to achieve top place in their category considering they are the only ones in them...

You should give TF2 another go.

Also, buy Empire: Total War on March 3rd.

The ones I could reccomend are Fallout 3, and Crysis. You should definitely take out FEAR and GeoW. The rest I'm not really in a position to comment about

I personally say that you should go for the game thats within the genre that you play the least.I.e, if you play racing games the least then go for burnout paradise. Either that or go for whatevers cheaper.

Buy crysis, cod4, dead space, and dow2 if you like the genre. gears is butt(okay not really but there is probably no community left), fear is a rental game(rent on console if you have one, otherise don't worry about it.) fallout is good but i'd rather buy oblivion+all expansions for cheaper. burnout is just plain dumb to me. and kings bounty i know nothing about.

If you already have games that you haven't played, why would you buy more? If not beat, you should at least play what you buy.

You own Company of Heroes, so you should DEFINITELY install and play that one.

I'm jealous of you for having World in Conflict, if you don't want it, you could always give it to me. ;)

I can't find a copy anywhere without buying online.

eh, i'm kind of spektical.

you always hear about starcraft, but i have never played it and since it is so old, although it may be very good, it may be hard to enjoy since it is so old and there are more updated similar newer good games that one could play instead.

it's hard to enjoy a clasic if you don't play it during its prime. it's one reason i can't get into FFVII. i am hugely thankful, though, for playing Ocarina of Time during its prime, as that is my favorite game ever.

to the OP, stop your compulsive spending habits. play what you have or get rid of it.

  • Dawn of War II - like the last one or CoH then yes
  • Burnout Paradise - good game, good for speed fans
  • Dead Space - scary as hell, worth a buy
  • Fallout 3 - great game, time consuming, get it when you're in the mood
  • King's Bounty - great strategy game, very colourful too
  • Call of Duty 4 - You haven't played this yet? I say wait till OF2 and Modern Warfare 2
  • Gears of War - PC? Skip
  • Crysis - Get! Get! Get!
  • F.E.A.R - Skip, its meh by today's standards.

Get rid of it?!?!?

Are you out of your mind, man? That's crazy talk! I haven't sold/returned/exchanged any single game that I have purchased in the past 5 years. I own a PS2 and about a dozen games (give or take a few) that I played through all and beat all (except for one) and I won't sell them off. I haven't turned on my PS2 for almost a year now.

I've got over 130 PC games (not all are listed on my games list....some just aren't worth mentioning that I wasted my money on them) and I will never get rid of them. They're mine! My collection! Hell, I've kept the Vitura Boy my dad bought for my older brother and me the year it came out....too bad I've only got Mario Tennis left on it. I used to have most of the games, but my older brother sold them to support his drug habit at the time (thankfully he's out of the stage and got his life together). I still have my original, first, Nintendo my dad bought. So, no! Don't get rid of them!

Out of the 130+ PC games I own, I've probably only honestly beat about 50 of them. Some I haven't even opened and I might never....but they're part of my collection and forever will be.

Out of that list of games to get, if you want fast paced shooting action, then pick up Gears of War. I wasn't impressed with Crysis....maybe hyped too much and it let me down some.
