I have played Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty and to me that was inferior to Splinter 1-3

but from the many MANY gameplay videos i have seen for MGS 4, man that game is going to be sweet

"drools" but I just bought a Wii for SSBB so I probably wont buy a PS3 anytime soon

I'm sorry but there is no way you are familiar enough with MGS if all you played was the second one. I would bet loads of money that is you asked any long time MGS fan which game was the worst they would point to that one.

Whoever said MGS wasn't a good stealth game, you need to read up. MGS invented the stealth genre, hell MG was made in what, the 80's? If you honestly think that MGS is not a good stealth game, I highly doubt you actually know how to play it stealthily (i.e. never getting on an alert, and if you are 100% masterful, not even caution outside of story events) and oh yeah, when you are in the shadows, and the only thing the terrorists can see are 3 glowing green circles and they are oblivious to the situation is sooooo realistic.... Light play was the only thing that Splinter did that was all that different. Now I don;t think the SC series was a bad series, but there is no way in hell it was and is better than the MG series (excluding ACID)

Snake and Metal Gear by far over SC, which got fairly repepitive very quickly (I finished 1-3 mind you) and lacked the entire badass/epic feel of MGS (albeit MGS was unrealistic in scale/boss fights)

P.S. God of War was TOTALLY AND COMPLETLEY a ripoff of DMC with more hack and slash/less strategy combat, and a greek story line and button mashing mini-games. However it was a fun game, just no where near as good as DMC

GOOD GOD I FORGOT DARK SECTOR!

that is my number 2 game for this year

-Army of Two (probably number 1)

-DMC4

-R6V:2

-Huxley (i agree it might not come out this year, and I don't want a steep fee either)

-RE5

-Turok (will be very good I promise you)

-GoW2

-ME2 (if it comes out this year, might not)

-Assassin's Creed 2 (might not come out this year)

-skate 2 (I really hope they make it, amazing game)

I admire you for having such a mass of games, but not all that much

I cannot even name more than 30-50 games that are so amazing that I have to own them. The amount of games that must just suck to play in that collection has to be immense.

This isn't a "get a life" post, it's a "impossible to have that many amazing games" post. It's just downright impossible.

They are both going to have sequels, although we don't know if AC will get a trilogy too.

Both games are great buys, there is plenty of stuff to do in both, but chances are you will put mor hours into ME so buy that first, then assassin's creed.
