Lots of stiff competition as you mentioned. It'll be a close call. I'm hoping Dark Souls lives up to Demon's Souls reputation. If it does, it's got a shot, but it may be that the second iteration (spiritual successor or otherwise) will have lost some of the thrill of the first. To be honest, I don't think anyone can say for sure unless they've played it. The main thing Dark Soul's has going for it is difficulty. For some reason, it makes the game amazing, not frustrating. If they deliver on promises they've made so far, I think it has a pretty good shot. Then again, the same could be said about the devs of all the other games you listed. It's a toss-up.

I think it really depends on a number of things. First and foremost would be that the first time you played it, how many times did you play through, or if only once did you rush through it or take it all in? Another thing is how much you like the game to begin with. Personally, it's my favorite game of all time, and I played through it no less than 4 times. But that's just me. If you're worried it won't still be interesting, try a hardest difficulty no death run... i forget the name of the achievement. I wanna say its like big brass balls or something. But yeah, try for that.

I hope to God for your own sake that you're trolling. There is so much fail in this post it's legitimately a bit frightening.
On the off chance you aren't, however, let's see what we can do here.

1) The game i assume you are referring to is called Call of Duty: World at War.
2) You don't rank up in Nazi Zombies, it is simply a bonus cooperative game mode where you shoot zombies for fun. No experience to be had there though. If you want to level up and unlock weapons, perks, etc. try normal multiplayer games.
3) It was likely a modded lobby. The names are nothing to worry about; you see that everywhere these days. But when you suddenly jump to level 65 and have all the guns, its likely a mod. Though i've never encountered a lobby like that in WaW, there have been plenty in MW2 and i can only assume the same people decided to target a different game. It's probably nothing to worry about; just join another game and it should be normal.
4) I can only assume you are referring to Nazi Zombies again, where you start level 1 with a pistol. This happens every time you play, because you start small, earn points by killing zombies (among other things) and then use those points to buy access to new areas and new guns or equipment. In the newer Zombie maps, you can also buy perks, activate traps, upgrade weapons, and teleport by spending your points. Pistol kills don't give additional points, you just have to start small and expand. It's kinda the point of the game.

Hopefully that helps you.

Definitely excited for both. But Black Ops looks fantastic so far. The new currency/wagering will be cool, and the modes you wager on all sound fun. No more one man army infinite noobtube antics, and killstreaks aren't as cheap (one won't count towards another)
Treyarch is basically fixing all of MW2's problems, adding in other cool stuff, and not to mention Nazi Zombies. Or...equivalent cold war bad guy zombies. I haven't heard if that's officially been confirmed yet, but it seems like a no brainer that they bring it back bigger and better given how awesome it was in WaW.
Anyways. Enough about Black Ops. Reach should be awesome too. Not sure if i like the realism they're trying to add to it. I liked the battle rifle staying accurate no matter how fast i shoot. But I'll get used to it. My only real complaint is nades are overpowered and health packs are a bad idea. Hopefully they fixed it from the beta.

neither assasin's creed/bioshock's story would be confusing if you haven't played the first, they do a pretty good job of explaining the basics

that being said assasin's creed1/bioshock2 are pretty crappy games while ac2/bioshock1 are vastly superior

ac1 is pretty unplayable, tedious and repetative objects make the whole game, and while bioshock2 had no serious design flaws it had no improvements

bioshock's story is one of the best I have ever seen in a video game with plenty of exciting twists while bioshock 2 had a story so one dimensional it made the game tediously boring, the shock ending is obvious to anyone who has played 5 minutes of the original. The characters have no real back story or purpose and once you pass them they aren't even mentioned in any significant way. The game lacks the depth that made the original so enticing. I just can't stress how much of a dissapointment that game is.

Finally someone who gets it. BioShock is my favorite game of all time. I've played it through probably 5 times and i'm still never bored with it. You discover something new every time you play it. Bioshock 2 was dreadful. Not a terrible game in its own right, but compared to the first, it felt like 2k Marin slapped me in the face and took $60 from me.

Win.

Thanks for the help :)

Geez that's a lot of letters and numbers. :O

Thanks, i would never have been able to put together a list of parts like that. Given that it's actually not all that expensive, and i'm taking your word on it not being that complicated, i'm definitely considering it. Bookmarking this page for future reference, in case i decide to try it. Which probably means a week or two before diablo 3 comes out. :)

Oh wow. I'll admit that looks easier than i've always imagined building a computer would be, but that doesn't mean i think i could do it properly. Lol. I appreciate the thought, but i'm kinda afraid i'd get the parts and then totally screw something up while building it.

Seriously?
"Build" sounds intimidating, but $600 sounds great.
