Hi, Most of my games are shooters and i'm looking for a different style of game I'm looking for an action game but i'm in doubt about which one to game (doesn't have to be a new release) Was thinking about red dead redemption, max payne 3, batman (asylum or city), dead space 1 or any resident evil. Which one do you think is best? Any other suggestions? tks

If you haven't played Arkham Asylum yet, it must only be a few dollars. That would be my number 1 pick in terms of fun and economics.

Red Dead Redemption is fantastic, and Arkham City is great as well. I'd recommend giving those games a shot.

I love Red Dead and Arkham Asylum/City. Get all 3! If you get the Batman games, get Asylum first. It is still a great game.

New games: Hitman Absolution, Assassin's Creed 3, GTA V, Sleeping Dogs Some of these games aren't even out yet but if you like action adventure games you'll probably enjoy them. Older games: Older AC games, Batman games, Red Dead Redemption, MP3, LA Noire, any sandbox games such as GTAIV.. pretty much all of Rockstar's collection in the past 4 or 5 years. Mafia 2 is a good choice as well. I can't recommend it enough.

A game like Red Dead Redemption will give you at least, 30 hours of gameplay. That's not including the online portion, which I have not played so much myself, but it's an open-world for online and you can have a lot of fun with it. I would suggest getting the GotY edition. Got mines for something like $30 and I don't regret it one bit.

LA Noirewwervin

You shouldn't give people the impression that L.A. Noire is an action game, unless you were just generally recommending it..but I think a lot of people were (sadly) disappointed in the game because it wasn't action oriented :/

For the red dead the original is better than the undead nightmare right? Or us the undead nightmare only an expansion pack?

Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite games ever. I'd also go for Arkham City.

To you it was, but to me it was very enjoyable. It's a detective game that relies on extensive thinking. I like a game that makes me think.

If you're looking for something not gun-based, Arkham City, Captain America: Super Soldier, and LotR: War in the North are my #1 recommendations. WET is an old favorite of mine- it focuses more on cinematic flair and acrobatic slo mo than straight up/cover-based shooting mechanics. Also, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine has massive carnage and wholesale mayhem, along with a pretty fine story/universe.

I never put it any other way, I was just saying what I also thought of the game.

red dead dem. Is a MUST

batman the first one is a must

deadspace games are pretty cool

umm cant say much about max pain because im about half way since release and tell you the truth i don't know when i go back to it...

the second bat man IMO was as good as the first. BUT i kinda stop playing it about 3-4hrs in. Then my friend told me he felt the same way but it got better down the road. BUT who knows
