    So toys r us is having a sale on games. Buy 2 get one free. Which 3 would you get?

    I think I'm going for Mass Effect, Dead space, and ????. Cant decide on the third one. Probably something that is fun to play online like Call of Duty.

    There are a bunch of new games being released in November. If you can hold out until then. If not, try looking into COD4 or The Orange Box as your third choice. :)

    I just finished Bioshock a few days ago, the game rocks, maybe give it a try. A little old, but very enjoyable. :)

    mass effect (beat it twice on third playthrough), dead space (only 3 hours in but wow) and bioshock (2nd playthrough) are my three favorite games this year. They all have great environments and story, but you may want to substitute one for a online shooter like TF2 (orange box) or COD4 like the others said before.

    Ill probably go for Call of Duty 4. Is there a new one coming out soon? total war or something like that?

    I dont want to buy CoD4 if theres a new one coming out.

    I was thinking farcry 2, but i havent played the first one so i dont really know what the game is supposed to be all about.

    Thanks for the input guys!!

    COD4 if you haven't played it, The Orange Box (if you haven't played them)
    Fallout 3 is coming out soon, Dead Space is already out, and GTA IV is coming out in November...

    I would try Far Cry 2, looks really good.



    Your might want to edit that, and take that out. Talking about that is against Forum Rules, so be careful. ;)

    if you go for the orange box, the sale is more like 'buy 2 get 5 free!!!'

    plus, tf2 is the funnest game ever :) and i hear portal is pretty fun... too bad i bought tf2 and not the orange box... wasnt thinking that day :(

    Definitely orange box (portal is a blast), CoD4, and maybe Mass Effect.

    Assassins Creed was unappealing to me~
