I finished as much of FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage as I plan to for the time being. So now I need to look at my collection and figure out which Xbox game needs my attention. I say Xbox, because currently my fingers and wrist are a bit messed up and using a mouse for prolonged periods is not comfortable. The decision is proving difficult.

The factors in game choice are fun, story completion, remaining achievements and likeness to FlatOut. Fun is obvious...if I'm not going to enjoy playing the game, I'm not going to play it. I actually have left a lot of games without completing the story and would like to finish them off. While I don't care so much about the points of the achievements, I do enjoy the challenges the achievements present. And finally, I don't want to play a game too similar to FlatOut, just to shake things up. I've narrowed my choice down to the following games:

Perfect Dark: Zero
When I first played this game, I was disappointed for various reasons. However, I really want to give the game it's fair play time and finish that story!

Bioshock
I've beaten this game before, but there are a wealth of achievements I missed and the fixed the widescreen view since my last play through. One achievement in particular is to play the hardest difficult without dying...I want to try! I also want to experience the story again.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted
I have this urge to customize cars and actually beat the last 75% of it.

Dead Rising
I got to the final boss and then put the game down!!!

I'm scratching NFS:MW as it is too much like FlatOut. Dead Rising warrants a more sit down for a long time and play, where I'm actually looking for short bursts of play time, so I'm scratching that one off for now. So, it's either Bioshock or PD.

Anyhow, I'm curious as to how you choose your next game? Just happens? Need to fill an itch? Buy a new game?
