Okay so here's the problem:

Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and World of Conflict. 3 CRAZY games for the computer. But which to get?

I'm having trouble choosing which one. All of them look great, but I'm looking to have cash left over for these ALL-Time clasics: Grim Fandango, Monkey Island 3 & 4, and maybe worms Armageddon & World Party. (By the way, I HIGHLY recommend the ALL-TIME clasics.

So what do all you gamers think?

Crysis is the best of the list and will have lots of mods, fun multiplayer but has almost NO community, so if MP is your thing go for WiC or UT3, but anyway, the pricetag at Fry's was 40 dollars.

Crysis basically won my vote because of that price tag lol

Would get Crysis if you are a graphics whore, UT3 for the best multiplayer, WiC for the most balanced game

Actually, if you want a great RTS Company of Heroes and it's expansion pack should be pretty cheap now, check if the bundle-deal is still on Steam.

Don't support Epic. WiC and Crysis are both great, but EPIC doesn't deserve anyones money after the failure that is Gears Of War for PC.

I enjoyed GeOW on PC, what was so bad? (then again, I played the 360 version first, so I knew what to expect.)

If you want a good game that no one is talking about, get Shadowgrounds : Survivor. Much better than Shadowgrounds, better than Alien Shooter and simply some of the best blasting mayhem I've had for some time.

Crysis is by far the best single player experience, but it's also probably the shortest. You will probably finish Crysis in under ten hours, and play it three times through at most. But it is one of the best FPS experiences of all time, and the multiplayer and editor give it a very respectable lifespan.

I think UT3 is pretty weak. Unless you really like the game and think you will get at least fifty hours out of it, I'd say skip it. CoD4 and TF2 both have much better multiplayer in my opinion. If you haven't tried the UT3 demo, try it. It has a few game modes and several maps. It was enough to completely satisfy what desire I had to play UT3.

WiC I outright dislike. I cannot recommend it at all. I think there's a lot better out there in the form of CoH, SupCom and DoW.

I think firstly you should try demos of all three - having played each game, you should really know what you want, but I would recommend Crysis first, UT3 second and WiC third.

As for the other games, definitely get Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island games. As for Worms, definitely get one of them. There's no point owning two worms games. You won't have any reason to play both. I would personally put Worms above everything on the list - providedyou have friends to play it with. It's just not a single player game. Grim Fandango and Monkey Island I would put below Crysis, but above UT3 and Wic.

Grim Fandango, Monkey Island 3 and Worms World Party are all way better then Crysis and UT3. Dunno about WiC thought.

They're way better and they're probably way cheaper. What are you still doing here?

I think you must check your system specs. What is it?

Crysis rocks, but the gameplay might be a problem

Here they are, right from my LAPTOP:

RAM: 1983 MB

Processor: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-622 (2 CPUs), ~2.1 GHz

DirectX: 10

Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium (6.0, Build 6000)

Graphics: NVIDIA MCP67M GeForce 7150M/nForce 630 M

My friend said that the physics in Crysis are not the good at all, and it only LOOKS good. I believe him little on this, but then again, I havn't played it yet.

Great game. I love it, but just take a look at the forums. They haven't had 1 patch for the game since the release. CoD4 has had 3 (soon to be 4 I believe) and it was released after GoW. I just don't think they deserve the money when only about 2/3-3/4 of the people can run it properlly.
