Well, I want to buy a game that can keep me busy for the holidays. Specially with online multiplayer, and no more than 30 bucks ( saving for early next year games )

These are my choices:

- Need for speed hot pursuit ( about 35 on black friday sale )
- battlefield bad company 2 ( 25 online )
- modern warfare 2 ( 25 online )
- red dead redemption ( 30 black friday sale )

or suggest something else :)

I'd say RDR, cause at least you'd get a decent single player campaign too. Plus there's some different things to do, like gambling, ect. Instead of just shootting ppl over & over, which gets boring, imo. Plus Undead Nightmare adds more sp content.

I personally would get RDR, but BFBC2 might last you longer with the MP. One of those 2 though.

I'm currently playing red dead redemption and it's awesome! so that's what I'd recommend. seems there's lots of things to keep you occupied. and when you tire of it you can just buy the expansions.

Borderlands Game of the Year Addition, Demon's Souls, RDR, Fallout: NV all of these games are good and take a while to beat.

Well if you're looking for value then 2k11 is amazing. But I say you should get COD:WaW and something else. NFS?

I wouldn't recommend RDR. I got bored of it quickly. A lot of people say its not GTA in the west but it is. If you like GTA then go for it... if not then I'd recommend BC2. Online is addicting and it has a decent SP.

Yeah pretty much this regarding RDR.I know MW2 gets a lot of hatred here but I'd suggest it over BC2 , it has a better campaign and special ops , the mp is debatable and depends on what TC prefers...

Go with RDR. I've beat the storyline and played a little online. It was a well-paced, awesome adventure game. There is something about the wild frontier that keeps you entertained longer than GTA (which I stopped before I even started).

Need for Speed: HPalso looks interesting because I love the chase aspect. Haven't played it though so I can't speak for it.
