    bioshock is a must. great story and is fun.. stalker is very buggy but is like 5 dollars so worth investing in...farcry 2 is decent to me its very slow and half time your driving around Africa looking for someone or something...i think you can buy it on ebay for like 10 bucks..i got it for ps3 a month or so for like 30... .left4dead is fun and quick doesnt really have a story or campaign its...its a fun online game just thinking css with zombie mod online

    Haha!

    A free game which is made by Nexon (Nexon is known for MapleStory).

    Combat Arms is fun to play with your friends, but Counter Strike, CoD and Battlefield are waaaay better :)

    I'd probably go for Bioshock.

    It seems that you've mostly enjoyed lots of FPS games. Mass effect is really an RPG, STALKER although has most of its bugs fixed now, is really different in its style from normal FPS games, L4D is horrendous when not played with other people, and I'm pretty sure that Farcry 2 is a love/hate thing for most people.

    "Bioshock" was truly one of the best games I have ever played. Fantastic story, scary at times, and plenty of plot twists. Would you kindly consider playing "Bioshock" as your next game? You won't regret it.

    Go for any of your initial 3 options. The Stalker series after applying the patches run fine (at least for Shadow of Chernobyl, which I have, I have hear the same for Clear Sky). Like other mentioned L4D is only multiplayer and Far Cry 2 has many mixed reviews (although more are for the worse than good).

    I vote for the two STALKER games. Just make sure yo uget Oblivion Lost for the first one, really makes it better.
