Ok well i need to get a game for easter and my options are...

Far cry 2 (well this game looks like crysis and i was sorda interested in crysis but my pc couldnt run crysis)

Left 4 dead ( was sorda interested in this but hearing the reviews suggesting very few weapons and repetitive gameplay i was sorda nervous... I love cod waw zombie mode on the other hand.)

saints row 2 ( wasnt interested in this game upon release but gained some interest later as i saw the gameplay. I love gta 4 but this game is more like mercs and im afraid i might go bored of it. I have never played this game or any of the above)

gears of war 2 ( i was sure i was going to get this game when i heard of it but after i played it a few times it got a little repetitive. Although i was only playing horde)

I really love getting the best bang for my buck and enjoy replay value alot. All these games appeal to me as a shooter fan. I enjoy great multiplayer and decent singleplayer. Please give me unbiased suggestions and partial reviews perhaps of the products listed above i enjoy any and all feedback and appreciate help, thank you.

If you have xbox live then either gears of war 2 or left for dead. If you dont have live get far cry 2.

If you haven't got COD4 I suggest that, but to be honest those games you said do get boring pretty fast

I enjoyed Left 4 Dead mostly out of those games you listed, but to get the full experience out of it you need XBL.

Left 4 Dead is awesome with friends, otherwise it gets very boring. Far Cry 2 just sucks.

Saints Row 2 is an awesome game if you like sandbox, and offers a lot of customization. It doesn't get old fast, especially compared to Far Cry 2.

Far Cry 2 is an incredible looking game with good gameplay, but it doesn't have much variety and the missions get really repetitive fast. The multiplayer is sluggish compared to other FPS's, so I didn't get into it at all. I didn't like the first Gears, and I only played the demo for L4D. It seemed fun, but I would definitely want to have a friend to play it with. Saints Row 2 has co-op online, also.

Anyways, that is my two cents.

If you have XBL get Left 4 Dead. I don't actually own that game, but that has more to do with my lack of XBL playtime on the whole. I was not a fan of Gears of War 2, and neither Far Cry 2 nor Saint's Row 2 are my type of game. But I played both Gears and L4D and L4D is a lot better than Gears 2. Gears 2 was a huge letdown for me considering how good the first one still is.

i Love halo 3 and when i had a ps2 i really loved mercs. Also i enjoyed gta 4 alot but now ive grown very bored of it. My best friend and i at first where going to get saints row 2 but idk what hes gonna do now lol. HMMMM gears looks awfully fun but also repetitive and i can just completely take away farcry 2 now.... Left 4 dead looks alright but idk i enjoy CS source on the computer cuz all the custom maps. But idk.

ive played mercs 2 and meehhhhh alright. But as of now i heard gears 2 has a patch that fixed matchmaking lag and stuff? IDK left 4 dead looks fun but HELLA repetitive. Im almost leaning towards SR 2 but idk what do you guys think im hearing basically gears or L4D. Any great things about one of the games that is a deal changer?

Well... I don't know if its a deal changer, but in SR2 you can get a stun gun. Stunning old ladies never gets old. Oh... you can also kick people in the balls and eventually get an achievement... and you can run around naked and flash people. Your wee-wee is blurred, and it is hilarious.

Granted, everything in the game will eventually get old, but there is SOOOO much to do in Saints Row 2 that it is definitely worth it. If you liked San Andreas, SR2 is the way to go.

Gears 2 easily. L4D is ok, but really short and not as fun online. Far Cry 2 was a purchase I regretted big time. The game really lacked a soul, and was just repetitive. I don't know much about Saints Row. Gears has a really fun campaign that is good enough to play over again, co-op or single. Horde is fun, and the online MP is among the best.

i used to have a 360, but sold it for a ps3. before i sold it, i played through gears of war 2, and thought it was an amazing game. right now i am playing through saints row 2 on my ps3, and thats a really fyun game as well. but gears of war was epic( my opinion) it made me wanting to keep playing, and seeing where the story would go.id pick gears 2...but sains is good crazy fun.

L4D I think is really stupid online. It's the same as the normal campaigns but you get to be a zombie, but then you have to be survivors again anyways, and do the same thing you do in campaign...get to the safe house.

well saints row 2 has a very lengthy single player theres so much to do in it. But gears of war 2 has a pretty good single player but it was kind of disapointing although the multiplayer is great especially horde mode. Left 4 dead is very good but it doesnt really have a single player its just really practice for when you play online.

If you're a fan of having fun on Xbox Live, I'd definitely go with Left 4 Dead.
