    I was going to pick up a few of the games below this holiday season (GW2 especially, I love games that have long progression). But, I saw the Oblivion pack only sale today and I was wondering if it was worth it to buy that or I should get something else on the list of stuff I have to get. I do not have much time because I have an extremely rigorous schedule and I have to do all of my applications for college. So obviously, I want a fun game without a ridiculous time commitment. The reason I need quick advice is because the pack stops going on sale tonight.

    Plan on getting:

    -GW2
    -BF3
    -Deus Ex
    -D3
    -TES V
    -Arkham City
    -ME:3

    I still need to get these games

    Shogun Total War
    Mass Effects
    Borderlands
    AC Brotherhood/Revelations
    Oblivion??
    And others, I am sure I am forgetting....

    I know that, thanks for the sarcasm... but my main question was is there a better game that I should invest in?

    I wasn't being sarcastic.

    I would just wait considering Oblivion at full price is under $30.

    Oblivion's on sale right now.

    I dunno how you don't have Borderlands yet. Steam had it on sale for like $5.
