    FO3 has awesome story telling and amount of quests. Not to mention Mods that contains quests and other cool stuff that keeps you playing whole day.

    Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 both sucked 50+ hours outta my life, been a while since single player games have claimed that feat. And I don't even wanna talk about how much time Steam says I've played Left 4 Dead, that number just can't be right, but I've got 25+ hours in on Left 4 Dead 2, and that's between Warhammer Online marathons...I really need to get out more.

    It's gonna be tough to get out when Starcraft 2 comes out as well as Bioshock 2, Mafia 2, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    I wanna get MW2 but I think it'd be best to just buy borderlands then wait for Christmas to get it, or should I do it the other way around..choices choices choices..

    i honestly cannot see anyone getting so wrapped up in a game, where they'll loose a week of their life, of well... i guess i have never been there so i can't understand it...

  • dexl

    Scared to play? such misleading title, I give it a booooo....
    Though this is a good general game overview.

    Fallout 3 looks and plays so awful to me now after playing Borderlands.

    What about runescape? XD

  • LXIndustries

    Posted Nov 11, 2009 6:45 pm PT

    I agree with most of that list. I already plan to take off a week when Mass Effect 2 comes out, I played that game for so long when I first got it, that I was nearly unable to leave the house.
    Same as Fallout, I play it non stop, then realise how I added too many mods and how buggy the game is, only to put it down, and a few months later, start the cycle all over again...

    Man, I thought they would have more than about two good games on here...

    I agree with most of these comments, the list was very respectable. There weren't any mentions, with the exception of World of Warcraft (no offense.), that I could argue against. I'm really looking forward to Mass Effect 2, the first one had a fantastic storyline and 3rd-person-rpg mix, and the voice acting was awesome (Hell yeah, Wrex). I'm not so sure about MW2, though. Don't get me wrong, the previews look pretty solid, but I think it might be a wise choice to wait a while and let more players give their opinions than reviewing websites.

    Good list.... top 3 were well chosen

    what no halo 3 i spent literallly days playing the multiplayer!!!!!!! it was and still addictive especially if you haven't played it in a while!

  • eddli

    Posted Nov 10, 2009 1:27 am PT

    i hope the list was in a random order because World of Warcraft has to be the biggest life ruining game ever made.

    wow the only game that im actually going to play is mw2. This is made for all consoles and is such a big event each time a call of duty is released. Halo 1 was the biggest xbox launch event for the first xbox and its going to happen again for the 360 this time for mw2. Just saying dont get any other games. GET MW2!

    Call of Duty Is beening Really hyped but i hope it will be as good as the other

  • nomorepain4u

    Posted Nov 9, 2009 4:28 pm PT

    go fallout 3

  • nomorepain4u

    Posted Nov 9, 2009 4:27 pm PT

    i know everyone likes call of duty but i hate it. the campaign is pretty fun but the multiplayer is not that great. and since everyone is getting over hyped about this stupid game it makes me hat it even more. sorry but this is my opinion.
    p.s. i am still probably going to buy it

    Posted Nov 9, 2009 1:22 pm PT

    Fallout 3 was truly the most addicting game I've played since Fallout 2. I am not even going to touch the upcoming Fallout MMO game. (If it is ever going to be released)
