I really havent played any of those games, but I'd say get Orange box, just because there's a lot in it (and TF2 should satisfy your multiplyer criteria). Also, make sure to get Mass Effect to diversify since most games on your list are FPS.

Bioshock (GOTY in my opinion), Call of Duty 4, and Mass Effect. Happy gaming :P

Need more information. Do you preferMP as much as SP or more? RPGs or FPSs?

You can't go wrong with Orange Box, and TF2 just sweetens the deal if you like MP shooters.

COD4 - Great SP game, but sickeningly short. Online mode was ruined for me was everyone placing these maps the size of a POSTAGE STAMP on servers with 32 PEOPLE. Just start cooking your grenade as soon as you spawn and get it over with.

GoW is an awesome shooter, and made even better if you have someone to co-op with to use tactics against the enemy. I've played through this game over and over again on normal+ mode. Love it.

Bioshock is a great SP experience and I loved the story and environment. Some people will pick it apart with minor details, but is deserved GOTY. You will have to play it through more than once to get 10+ hours, though.

Unreal 3 - Did you like the last one? Get it. Don't go in with any illusions of new material. It is the same game with updated graphics and a few very small and minor new things thrown in.

Mass Effect - Just get it

The Witcher - This one is pretty person-specific. I liked it (didn't love it), I have one bud that can't put it down, and another bud that makes fun of that bud because he can play it. Find someone that has it and try it.

Crysis - Fun, but IMO over rated. Pretty graphics don't make a game fun,which madethis game is more flash than substance. Don't get me wrong, I like playing it, but it definately doesn't live up to the "OMG CRYSIS RULZ ALL!" hype everyone has and is putting into it.

Hope this helps

I liked GOW, Bioshock, and orange box, COD4 is fun too, but short.

You can just buy 3 of them and *cough* download *cough* the other 5

Orange Box, The Witcher and STALKER. I know Stalker is not on the list, but I doubt that you have it.

Company of Heroes is nice and so is C&C3, but I prefer WiC. In my opinion there aren't really any other good, new strategy games out there than those three. If you don't care about the game being new or not, I can definatly suggest Warcraft 3 and the Age og Empires series and I bet a lot of people will tell you to get Dawn of War + expansions.

orange box for sure (you could fulfill your quota of 10 hours+ single player and good multiplayer with just the orange box purchase). i'm personally looking to get bioshock and crysis in the near future. perhaps gears and cod4 if i have money left. if you've never played ut2k4 or ut, then ut3 (unreal 3, as you indicated) would be an excellent choice.

If you never played Half Life 2 then get the Orange Box.

Call of Duty 4 for sure.

and for the RPG Mix you cannot go wrong with The Witcher or Mass Effect. I finished Mass Effect last weekend and the storyline was fantastic though the Side Quests get really annoying, and The Witcher is easily a sleeper hit of the year but I havn't played it yet, I asked for it for christmas lol because I bought Mass Effect Earlier and needed a gift idea.

That's why there's options. Play on servers with 16 people.
