What should I spend it on...?

I've narrowed it down to three of these $20 games.

1. Medieval 2: Total War (Haven't picked this one up yet! Was a big fan of Rome, though.)

2. Test Drive Unlimited (The free-roaming mode and the avatar customization are a big sell to me.)

3. Rainbow Six Vegas (I've heard that multiplayer servers for this game have been iffy lately, don't really know whether or not I should get this one or not. Vegas 2 is too expensive for me.)

Yes, I know that these are all games from relatively diverse genres, but I still like to hear an opinion. Thank you.

Medieval 2 is pretty sweet. Others I haven't heard much about except Rainbow Six Vegas and it was mostly bad things.

You forgot about a game called Daikatana or something like that. That's the one you should get.

Wow everyone seems to go with Medievil 2.. i really enjoyed Rome: Total War, but the demo of Medievil 2 left me feeling really dissapointed.

Medieval 2. I've had this game on my harddrive since it came out. R6 Vegas 2 stayed on my pc for less than a week and I've never been a fan of the Test Drive series. Medieval 2 has a ton of replay value and that's even before you try out some of the many mods out there.

I'd go with Medieval 2 as well.

If you liked Rome, you'll love Medieval. Same awesome gameplay and strategy, with graphics that are 100x better.

Medieval-esqe games have always appealed to me personally as they don't always play the same way. First game you may own everything and have no problems, next game you may get bogged down with multiple fronts and unwinnable battles.

And who doesn't love watching 2000+ units engaged in epic battles :P

Could you lend me $20 :P. Either that or go with Medieval 2, one of the best TBS ever!! (Behind Rome: TW and Civ II, III & IV of course).

Medieval 2 hands down. TDU gets boring fast and overall isn't that good and RS Vegas is mediocre, you can find better games than that.

Medieval 2 - imo one of the best games ever made. TDU only good game when you have decent wheel. And Rainbow six wasn't anything special.

Medieval Total War 2 is great, if you liked Rome you will enjoy it.

TDU is ok, if you have a racing wheel consider it. I didnt mind it, though the samey environment gets dull after a while.

R5 Vegas... In my opinion.. Go buy Raven Shield instead

i've only played the demo for medieval 2, but this seems like a no-brainer. medieval 2 is widely considered a great game, while both vegas and test drive unlimited are not.

I'd suggest picking up Medieval 2: Total War. It's a brilliant game; although a tad frustrating at times. The battles are fantastic and ruling over the kingdom you choose just gives you a feeling of power. So, it's an easy question. Medieval 2 all the way.

I had just picked up my new shiny copy of Medieval 2 30 minutes ago. Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
