Any cheap, good games out there with good online multiplayer and replay value especially?Th3-UnS33n

Call of Duty 4, Rainbow Six Vegas and Gears of War are all good choices.

HELP! i cant decide what to do. i only want to buy one game and wait for xmas for the rest but both far cry and fallout look great. i really, REALLY want far cry but i also really want the collectors edition of fallout. if i dont get the collectors edition now, i wont be able to later, but i dont want fallout nearly as much as far cry. what do i do?

mattg90520

I'd say go with Far Cry 2 for now since the campaign in it is relatively long and with the multiplayer it'll definitely hold you off until Christmas. You could probably still find the Collector's Edition of Fallout 3 if you order it online or might get lucky finding it in stores.

I was just wonderinng if i should get dead space... It looks really awesome but i already preordrered cod waw and fale 2, and since games in norway costs 100$ I dont want to end uo buying a game thats just mediocre, so should i get it???ATCO_Edvardsen

Dead Space looks great, if it's something that looks appealing enough than get it. The only downside is there's no online and it's just a campaign. From what I heard a lot of people are enjoying it and I plan on getting it soon.

I'm seriously torn between Far Cry 2 and Dead Space. I just need one of them to pass the time before GHWT, and I have no idea which one to get. Pros and cons people, non byist opinions, or un-constructive remarks please :)

Dead Space

Pros- Great atmosphere, tense, interesting story/universe, great gameplay mechanics

Cons- No MP, 12-15 hours long at best

i haven't played Far cry 2, but so far thats all i can say about Dead Space

Its different and its awesome. If you liked Bioshock, this is like Bioshock meets RE 4...and i love this game.

For the record, Ghost Recon isn't an FPS.

I'd suggest getting CoD 4 and R6V2 like you said as starters, but if you're really interested in FPS's get Far Cry 2 and/or CoD:WaW. I'm not getting CoD:WaW, but I guess it will be along your lines of interest. Quantum of Solace might also be osmething you should consider.

I loved Fable 1 and I loved Far Cry...equaly

These games look equally awesome. I want something thats a good value and both seem to be the same. Help me out. I love FPS and RPG though I could go for an RPG. Halp.

WaW is good but not THAT good, and tons of people will still be playing COD4 for awhile.

There isn't many. Maybe try Braid for the XBLA and you may also enjoy Castle Crashers.

If you have a PS3, get Little Big Planet

ok, i'm lookin for a new game. I love rpg's, kinda medievil, with swords and archery stuff, kinda stealthy, sorta sniperish where you get to pick when you attack, and shooters like halo. I've already played assassin's creed and LOVED that game! Any suggestions?

I guess it would all come down to what genres you enjoy most.

I bought Infinite Undiscovery a couple weeks ago. If you like action JRPGs, I would at least give it a rent. I think it was worth my 60 dollars, but you may not, considering the final tilt would deduce that the game as a whole too short of it's potential. regardless, it's a fun game.

well the safe bet would be call of duty. the online community won't be as big, but that also means it won't get overloaded, so its likly to be easyer to find matches. Basicly it'll be the same Call of duty everyone loves

though if you want to be risky you should go for fable the custimization could be fun.

In Europe both Dead Space and Fable 2 releases so close to each other (thursday and friday). I like both genres but I can't decide which game I should waste my money on (can't afford both directly). Halp!

Castle Crashers is good fun - try the demo first and if you like it, get it. I played through the campaign solo, then went online and found other people to play with, so you don't have to know others with it when you get it.

Fable - if you download it you get Fable. If you look in shops you can find a preowned version of Fable The Lost Chapters, which is an extended version, and costs less than the points to get the download version.

Rent dead space. It's pretty short, but very good. I beat it on medium difficulty in under 10 hours.

Dead Space will likely fall in price quickly. It is single player and really cashing in on Halloween "fright night". It has got very good reviews, but will likely follow games like Bioshock, Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect, and fall in price after a month or two as all those that have completed it trade it in for the next big game.

I've have been very into Fable 2 lately but after reading some of the reviews I'm a little worried it's not going to be as good as I expected. Perhaps I should not buy Fable 2 and wait for GeoW 2 instead? It's only going to be one of them for me.

Age of Booty

Give the trial a go first, as it also includes two days of multiplayer for free. The solo campaign was fine, but the multiplayer is where this game shines. I got in when it came out last Wednesday and it's pretty much all I've played since. A simple game yet so addictive :)

GTA San Andreas is an excellent game and still considered by many to be better than GTAIV for focusing on having fun. The gameworld is larger and there is loads of stuff to do that wasn't in GTAIV, including flying planes, going to driving school, more character customisation, working out in the gym to change your appearance rather than just a new top from the shop.

I played GTAIV, completed it 100% in around 70 hours and haven't played it since because I was bored with it.

GTA:SA I played for 200+ hours and still didn't finish it. There is so much to do and just messing about in the city is so much more fun than GTAIV. The vehicle handling might not be as realistic as IV, but it is a lot more fun, and escaping the police can be fun rather than frustrating.

For 1200MS you aren't going to find many longer games with so much content

Far Cry 2 or Dead Space

I know they are completely different games but I can only get one. I LOVE horror and FPS action but I am afraid gameplay will get stale. Especially with repetitiveness. Please give reasons!

I'm looking for a good brawler (though it doesn't have to be one) with swords and preferably a medieval/fantasy setting. I thought Dynasty Warriors was repititive, and Eragon spat on the movie that spat on the book.
