So ive been addicted to MW2 for a few months now and i really need a way out. I have been playing it EVERY night for the past few weeks and i need something to get me away. I know that when black ops comes out im going to be sucked right into that too. So my question is if anyone knows a game with great online multiplayer that will get me away from MW2. I love all types of games (minus sports, but includes racing). The only games i currently own are MW2, Fallout 3, and Motorstorm.

I have a girlfriend. we play games together every one in a while (But she refuses to play anything but the wii). I play my PS3 when im not hanging out with her or working. I have a sleeping disorder so only sleep for around 3-4 hours a day so i still get to play games while juggling a girlfriend and a job. The reason why i play games is to get away from it all and releave stress.

So...help you replace one addiction with another? Fair enough. To each their own. :P

Here are some games that can be addictive in the way that you're looking for:

  • Demon's Souls
  • Borderlands
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • ModNation Racers
  • Uncharted 2
  • Killzone 2

Also, check out the demos for Kane and Lynch 2 and Mafia 2 if you haven't already. K&L2 has both single player and multiplayer in the demo.

Pick up an instrument. That is what I am going to do I think. I'm depressed playing video games all the time, no one to play with really it gets boring after 15 minutes so I don't play often. :P Lol unless the game is brand new then I'm sucked in until it is done. :D But for video games I suggest that you get GTA 4 I love that game online I have so much fun lol. :D

The perfect games to get you off MW2, is either COD4, ('Cause it's better) Red Dead Redemption, or BC2

Yeah, Uncharted 2 is probably the best answer, and shame on TC for not already having it. One of the best SP campaigns ever and it even has MP!

Bad Company 2, more tactical approach than MW2. I spent over 5 days in it and its not boring for me.

Or Uncharted 2 for singleplayer which is awesome. Multiplayer there is amazing too but its not for everyone.

ok, ill try to be serious about this rather than some people. A few people recommended CoD4, i would say that is one of the best online games i have played. Less arcade like than MW2, but still fun and enjoyable. But if your really into MW2, then maybe try something different to CoD. I also noticed someone recommended GTA4. This is loads of fun online if you play with friends, but otherwise i find it extremely boring. Also, I would recommend TBOGT, as there are extra guns, cars etc. compared to the original. But also, for SP i would say that TLAD is best, but GTA 4 is longest. All GTA games are fun with friends online, but not as good if none of your friends have it/play it. I am currently thinking of purchasing Battlefield Bad Company 2, because like you i enjoy COD, but want to try something different. BC2 seems good because it plays differently to CoD, and i want to try something relying more on team work. I cant tel you what it is like, but its a good alternative in my opinion. Killzone 2 is a very good game, but i dont get the multiplayer. I think its a great game, but i find multiplayer a bit limited. I enjoy it, and alot of people claim its a great multiplayer, but i dont find it so great. However, as someone wrote in another topic, recommendations rely on a persons own opinion, you may find it great like most other people (and its only very cheap now) Other gmes that i enjoy online, but wont go into too much detail about are: Unreal Tournament 3 (loads of fun, but only if you find people to play with) CoD: World at War (more balanced than the other CoD games in my opinion) Burnout Paradise (hundreds of online challenges, loads of fun, very casual play, everyone plays together rather than against each other. But you need to progress a bit in Sp to have good cars for online)

EDIT: oops, i forgot Red Dead Redemption. New DLC for online and a very good game for ratings. I havent played it but i think ill get it soon, the only thing that worries me is the graphics. People lookugly in it, lol. Online is supposed to be good

I got rid of it, it worked.

MW2 is addicting but not very good in my opinion.

I would try playing COD4, Killzone 2, or Bad Company 2.

i agree with uncharted 2, mw2 gets pretty annoying when you got guys who play 24 7 and constantly have a nuke

You need to branch out more gamewise. Try out the uncharted series, valkyria chronicles, heavy rain, or demons souls. infamous is also great. MW2 online really sucks but I guess it is your opinion. Go to the gym or something

3 to 4 hours of sleep?

ok, you need to lay off the gaming. period.

i dont care what youre playing

if this keeps up, your health will become worse

get out more, exercise, workout, do things that are more active

if its gaming thats preventing you from sleeping, then you need to change that

Don't understand how anyone can be addicted to the crap that is MW2 but if your looking for another game then grab Bad Company 2 however if you love MW2 it's unlikely you will like BC2.

for strictly multiplayer: BF: BC2 MAG UT3 Transformers: War for Cybertron Borderlands (co-op) But single player games can take up lots of your time, try some RPGs. Or you can wait for SOCOM4, Brink, Twisted Metal, and Postal III Or another way to stop playing mw2 is to realize why the game sucks, i recommend watching some videos on why mw2 sucks, its funny and educational

You'll get over it. I used to play it everyday for 3-5 hours non stop and I just got sick of it. Also, I started liking a girl and once that started, I hardly even touched my PS3.
