Fall - Winter 2008... What to Buy!?

[commandercup]

Well... I've come to a dilemma! There are too many good games coming out and I need some opinions on which are the ones worth buying and which I should get the collector's editions for!

Currently I plan on purchasing the following collector's editions:

• Far Cry 2
• Fallout 3

I also currently plan on buying these games in regular retail boxes:

• Left 4 Dead (Unless a CE is announced)
• Brother's In Arms: ****'s Highway

I was also considering Crysis: Warhead... since its only $40 and would tide me over till the other games came out... but meh?

Stalker: Clear Sky?

In the meantime... I've got NFS ProStreet, Bioshock, Timeshift and Mass Effect headed to me! (All bargains on eBay!)

im looking at spore fall out 3 farcry 2, gears 2. and crysis warhead. you reminded me of left4 dead tho.

Left4dead is going to be a must for me, really good if you have many friend's who like FPS games.. but its a horror FPS isn't it? I thought you didn't like those ... maybe even COD:W@W

 

[commandercup]

meh, Left 4 Dead is in no means scary... lol, sure its a zombie game but there's nothing truly creepy, disturbing or scary about it

and yeah, maybe COD: W@W... not sure if it'll be much different from what COD4 was at least from some videos I've watched...

I need to check out Dead Space, that seems intriguing... but yet again horror?

about Gears 2... bleh? The first one was really bad for me since the controls were just so wonky (on the 360 atleast...)

Fall Out 3 and Warhammer Online are on my wish list.

 

[commandercup]

lol those new perks seem interesting enough

climbing trees and swimming just seem like excuses for people to camp... I guess it would work out anyways...

also, I just preordered the CE of Demigod, thus I got access to the betatest and it was only 47.95 shipped with a 20% survey coupon!

 

[lukas]

God i cant wait for cod5 to come out and make a mod to get rid of all them bad perks like climbing trees and sprinting whilst crouching, make it more competitive.

 

[Evolv]

Man they better get rid of Martyrdom for the new COD. That is the most annoying perk.

well, climbing trees and sprinting while crouching isnt really a perk, i mean its really done in combat.

now bunny hopping and juggernaut are not...
