Far Cry 2, Prototype, and Fear and probably Modern Warfare 2 need to be demo'd before bought. So many people have strong differing opinions on those games. Also, I can't imagine why you would want to play Left 4 Dead if you are going to get Left 4 Dead 2. All the others are solid games.

From my experience:

Fallout 3 is a must buy...

Crysis only if you go with the expansion (the normal game is too short)

Oblivion is a good experience too.

RE5 didn't really got me going I just stop half way and though it was pleasing for most part it still lacks something.

The Sims 3 is good... but I'd not REALLY buy it if you have exprienced Sims before. Spend your money elsewhere imo.

Bioshock is interesting!

Don't buy prototype.

From my knowledge:

L4D, Dead Space and even the dated BF2 all seem great... oh and GTA IV obviously!

Yes, they are all very good games and worth buying imo. Just make sure that you actually like the type of the genre and the type of game before you purchase it. Man, you have a lot of gaming to catch up on.

Skip L4D1 if you don't already have it. Might as well get L4D2. I was going to buy L4D1 but then Valve announced L4D2 and I'm just waiting :P

Ok.. Thanks for the help guys. Based on your Opinions.. I've removed some games.

Which is..

- Far Cry 2

- Trine

- Left 4 Dead

And of course there are some games that I really don't know if I should buy them.

- LOTR : Battle for the Middle Earth Anthology - I dunno.

- Prototype - Some say it gets really boring fast.

- Bioshock - Guess I'll try the demo first.

- COD : Modern Warfare 2 - Is it really that bad compared to the first one ?

Anyways. Thanks again guys !

NoctisCaelum52

Yes, its content is atrocious for it's price. Notably many of the utmost basic features in PC games today have been stripped from MW2 and the price was hiked up another $10 dollars.

You're better off buying CoD4.

Yeah I'd say you have the right idea. Unless you have unlimited funds get the games you want the most. Once you are bored of those then either come up with a new list of possible games or buy those 4 ones you are undecided on.

I think this list would do well -Dragon Age -Mass effect 2 -Crysis max -RE 5 -One rts anthology of your choice -Modern warfare 2 -Trine -Prototype I think that's pretty balanced and if you finish those, you can pick more from the list you made.

LOTR Battle For Middle Earth was the best one. The sequel was just another generic rts, but the first one was pretty strategic and fun. The one thing the sequel did better was the hero system, but the cool factor of that wears off pretty quickly after playing the game for a bit.

- Risen no idea

- World In Conflict : Complete Edition this is also the better (choose b/w this and COH:A)

- Borderlands YES (super fun)

- Resident Evil 5 meh was okay (played 360 version)

- Bioshock yes (everyone should expierience this game imo)

- Dead Space yes (although if you don't need don't get this is lower on the must have list)

If you are alright with a non-hand holding and hard rpg, pick up Risen. Good fun to be had.
