    i would like to ask those peeps who actually played these games, since these are my choices for gaming in this incoming week.

    singularity
    sniper
    medal of honor
    darksiders
    amnesia

    dragon age series, i have seen it once, but which one is the best?

    please share me for those who have played the games i listed. i just want to see if they really do good in reality. thanks!

    also if you can strongly recommend me a gave which has a long replayability and solid gameplay is much appreciated.

    singularity was good, darksiders was good, amnesia was good.

    Have not played the others.

    None of them with serious replay value IMO,

    Darksiders will take the longest to beat as its RPG, Amnesia probably the shortest but not much shorter than Singularity.

    I played MoH and it was very good at the time. It was actually the first good first person shooter, something like CoD. The problem is you can't aim down the sight. The campaign is also characteristic, as you practically fight by your self, against large numbers of Germans, which makes it unrealistic.

    Dragon Age is actually 1 game, Dragon Age: Origins. Awakening is an expansion for this game, you can't play it without already having DA:O. Dragon Age 2 is out March 8th.

    If this is part of your list that you're asking about replayability, Dragon Age would probably come out on top. The Medal of Honor you're talking about is the new one right? From what I've heard the single player campaign is ok while multiplayer is kind of bland at the moment.

    they're all kind of different games. i only have dragon age and darksiders (both on ps3). darksiders is a pretty good game if u are into an zelda-like action-RPG. it also has a few puzzle elements in the game, as well as a devil may cry-ish feel to it.

    like vicious stated, dragon age would have the most replayability. i haven't played much of it, but have heard so many great things. i know friends that have personally replayed the game a few times through just to try different chars and endings. i've also heard dragon age's gameplay is better on PC.

    I thought Singularity was a great game, but I beat it on a 3-day rental for my Xbox, it's pretty short, nearly no replay value at all either. It's too bad the price hasn't dropped significantly, but I wouldn't buy it for current prices.

    Dragon Age: Origins (DAO). Like already mentioned it is a single game with add-ons (the nowadays known as DLC) and 1 expansion. A great tactical RPG with high replay value.

    Darksiders: Like Zelda. Reviewed by many as a very good game for PC (due to the lack of games for this genre).

    Amnesia: A first person adventure/horror game. Quite unique and only comparable (in gameplay) to the Penumbra series (developed by the same company), thus quite unique. Praised on its good blend of psychological horror with the gameplay of the game. Definitely give it a chance.

    I have no idea on the other 3.

    I got the new MoH released in 2010 and I didn't like it... I've played most of the COD series and battlefield and IMO I thought it sucked :p
