get fall out 3 and left 4 dead. iam2green
he said he can only get one and fallout 3 has no multi player so i guess that is out of the question so i guess Left 4 dead is the way to go since it has both but the single player kind of sucks.

Left 4 Dead or Call of Duty 4/5 are your best bet for online games, please stay away from Gears of War 2 for a multiplayer game, it has so many problems with it at the momement. The single-player for it is amazing but the multiplayer is just frustrating at best.

I would go with Fallout 3, you get the most bang for your buck, even without multiplayer.

Well out of the three you have there I would get GTA4...long single player, lots of side quests, and I heard the Multiplayer was pretty fun also. Fallout 3 probably has a longer single player but no multi and L4D has a short single player, only 4 maps that probably last an hour each, but on the plus side the multiplayer is really fun and is suppose to different everytime you play it.

I'm not saying it's MY personal pick, but for what you've described (good long singleplayer, fun multiplayer) I would purchase Grand Theft Auto IV. Left 4 Dead is not a particularly good single player game, as the AI is simply not as fun as having human pals on second slot. Games like Fable 2 and Fallout 3 are the best singleplayer games of the year, while Left 4 Dead is the best multiplayer game of the year. I would suggest GTA IV, as it walks your requested middle ground.

Get GTAIV. You wanted single player and multiplayer right? Not to mention you could probably get GTAIV used for around $30 you maybe able to pick up oe of the others you wanted for about the same price. You could wind up with 2 used for about the same price of one new(give or take about $10)

Fallout 3 = Great single player

Left 4 Dead = Good single player, but multiplayer is a blast

GTA 4 = Great single player, and decent multiplayer as well. I'd go for this, as it has best of both worlds.

Fallout 3 is SP, L4D is mainly MP so.... GTA4 since it has both.smack_masta
But the multiplayer is fairly bad in GTA4, that's the only lame thing. You could really just get L4D for multiplayer and put a few dollars into the arcade and get a good arcade game or something.... Maybe like... rez?

well to be truthful i wouldn't get those games as u can only get one game you want a game that will hold you over untill birthdayor so.

i would really get halo 3 u can buy it used and get it for like 30 buck then get other game for 30 bucks.halo 3 decent sigle player one play through by your self then as co-op online u go through it few times

gta 4 wasnt like the old gta's it got boring i played it's missions once unlike SA VC and gta 3 i played dosen times it lost that thrill to me aleast and the online is ok but not fun lasted me a week and i was so tired of it sold it month after it came out

left 4 dead big no no if its the only game you can get as it only has 5 maps and the maps are used on signle player and online so i promise it wont hold u over for a month maby 2-3 weeks tops and u be sick of it

fallout 3 get this if u really like rpgs/ gaint open worlds/ guns and some serious gaming hours by your self there no online but i'am sure its great game havnt played it yet but if its

but one of the greatest rpg dev's made it so only one game i would really get something that would hold you over for while and that be halo 3 sure u can pick it up used around 30 then pick up oblivion GOTY one for around 30 also at a gamestop or something like that around you. u put in 100 hours into oblivion easy i puted in 160 when i got to 200 quest. and i been playing halo since it came out. (i'am sirprised i'am not bored with halo since i been playing halo 1 when it came out lol)

alright, i think you should consider the options. Left 4 Dead is addictively fun, though single player is pretty much a wash, not as fun as multiplayer. Fallout 3 is a great game, and the single player will have you playing for hours on end. On the bad side, it has no multiplayer.And now Gta . it has a very good single player campaign, as well as multiplaer modes that are more than decent. And to top it all off, it is getting 2 new DLC this year, starting with Lost and Damned expansion pack in february

I'd say first and foremost get Fallout 3. The game may lack a multiplayer component but it is a flat out amazing gaming experience that is not to be missed. After that, I'd say get Left 4 Dead just for the multiplayer component, and then probably Dead Space, another great single player game. The Simpsons Game is also on sale most places for about $10 now, which imo is a pretty good deal, especially if you're a Simpsons fan.

I must disagree with left 4 dead, its a excellent game, but rent it before all, its a very short game, I'd go for Army of TWO, Need for speed undercover and Soul Calibur 4

I'd say get Far Cry 2 or the Orange Box...or both. The Orange Box is $20 and Far Cry 2 is $40. Also both of them offer long single player and multiplayer. Don't get GTA IV, that game is boooring. The plot is poorly intertwined with the missions, you pretty much get a part of the story every five fetch missions. I'd definitely get The Orange Box..."5" games in one disc including Portal! The multiplayer is also riot, how many times do you get to kill an opponent with a shovel? I got this as my first game last year and it held me for a long while. Far Cry 2 has an expansive single player that is truly a sandbox FPS, unlike Crysis and Halo. The multiplayer is comparable to COD's class based system.

even though you said you want a game with online, fallout 3 will definitely give you the most play time. gears 2 has a very intense campaign especially for a shooter, and the new update improved the multi. if you dont have a full five players, you will still have to wait 3-5 minutes to find players, but the update did decrease the lag significantly. in the 20 or so matches i played today, i experienced no lag in any. but deciding between the two is beyond me. it all comes down to whether you prefer a straightforward shooter or a hybrid of the two.

The most popular games for online right now is l4d, cod waw and gow 2. These games should have plenty of replay value to it.

As for sp fallout i heard is great but ive never played it. Fable 2 is rly fun and oblivion.

call 4/5 or gears of war 2, bad companys multiplayer is really good, and far cry 2 has a solid multiplayer not to mention a long campaign (i know you think you would not care for singleplayer, but its really fun) i have not played L4D but i hear its great, i will probally get it..

Fallout 3, Left 4 Dead and The Orange Box are what I recommend.
