For MP - CoD: World At War or CoD 4: Modern Warfare.

I second Fallout 3 and any of the call of duty series. Counter-strike: source is awesome for its MP, but it has a very large learning curve.

Single Player: The Orange Box

Multiplayer: The Orange Box

But really I think that one of the games you get MUST be the orange box if you don't already have it. The second one could be anything else.

above poster who said The Orange Box, Get TOB for anoth Sp game get The Witcher EE if you like Rpgs, if you have a good lappy try to go Crysis or even Fallout 3. For multiplayer go Battlefield 2, Counter Strike Source, Left 4 dead, or Company of Heroes if you like RTSs.

i am aloud to get 2 games for x-mas + my laptop. i would like to have one single player game that takes along time to beat. The other game i want to have an action packed multiplayer experince. So please tell me what games you think i should get xDiEatmudkipz

For the single player I'd go with Fallout 3. It's a game with a lot of content as long as you don't just stick to the main story line. If you enjoy exploration, you can spend a lot of time in that game. Alternatly you can't go wrong with some of the bigger strategy games like Civ 4 with the two expansions (I believe you can get a Civ4 pack with both expansions for the price of a regular game) or Total War: Mediveal 2, massive strategy / empire builder / RTS game

For the multiplayer part I'd go for the Orange Box, hands down and no competition if your looking to get the most out of your money:

- You get two of the most popular multiplayer games on the market (Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike Source).

- Hours of single player shooter gameplay with Half-Life 2 plus both of the HL2 episodes.

- For dessert you get the short but brilliant puzzle game Portal

For the prize of a single game you just can't do better than the Orange Box.

In addition, since it sounds like your looking to get the most out of your money, I'd suggest heading over to http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ and download 'The Ur-Quan masters' It's a free fan updated version of the original Star Control 2. While the graphics are mediocre it's still one of the best games space / exploration games ever made (in my oppinon).

Fallout 3 is a good choice for SP... as is the The Witcher. Both good games in their own right... although I feel fallout 3 will have more replayability once the mod tools come out.

MP... well as I recommend Orange Box (but its cheap now) and Left 4 Dead or CoD4.

Left 4 Dead, because it's just so much fun. And fun goes great with the Holidays. My second choice for a timesinker during the Holiday Season break would be, The Witcher, Fallout 3, or Mass Effect. The Orange Box would be great also, if you haven't played it already.

Single Player: Definitely The Witcher - the campaign will take you about 40 hours to complete. Get this before Fallout 3 if you were considering it. MP: Left 4 Dead. EASILY.

TF 2 isn't that much fun IMO (too many random aspects, and the game play really isn't that exciting). I think i would go for something else in MP, as the orange box is sold at the price of one game. Either CoD 4 or CoD:WaW, depends on what setting you prefer. Personally, i prefer CoD 4. If you get one though, don't bother with the other, they're not very different.

If you want a MP game thats the one to get Mister!! You can replay it over and over with mates, and also there is additional content coming so don't worry too much about the value.

Wow, rich parents. lol Wish I had such fruitful Christmases. :P Anyway, I would suggest either The Witcher: EE, Fallout 3, Crysis Warhead, Left 4 Dead or The Orange Box. Actually I have a better idea. Get the Valve complete pack for 99.99. Valve Complete Pack Includes: Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat, Deathmatch Classic, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Ricochet, Half-Life, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, Day of Defeat: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Portal, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Peggle Extreme.

Left 4 Dead has co-op, you just need 2 360 controllers to get it working correctly. The game is basically either 4 player co-op, or 2 teams of 4: Zombies vs Humans with 8 players. TF2 is all teambased play, Half Life 2:Deathmatch is team based or deathmatch, and Counter-Strike:source and Day of Defeat:Source are both team based. That being said, get the Valve complete pack I was talking about in my previous post. :D

i'm having fun with prince of persia. though i think if you play very often you could finish it quickly. i don' thave that much time for games so it will take me a few weeks. orange box is a great idea, it's a lot for the price. if you play a lot, sp ideas would be oblivion or fallout 3 or the witcher. oblivion has a large modding community and fallout 3's level editor came out today, which is why i just ordered fallout 3.

If you have Steam buy TF2 NOW!! It's half price, so it's only $9.99, you could still get 2 other games in addition to it.

Go with the orange box. It's got half life 2+ 2 episodes and Portal for single player and team fortress 2 for multiplayer. It'll occupy a lot of time, trust me.

If you don't have any Steam games I would say forego Fallout 3 and get this. Basically every single game Valve has ever made including Left 4 Dead.

For Single Player, I recommend Supreme Commander if you like RTS games. It also has a pretty good multiplayer For Multiplayer however, I reccomend either Starcraft or Battlefield 2142. Or just get The Orange Box...
