    i am looking for a good game to play, i have $40 in reward zone points at best buy.i like to play games like cod4, crysis, fear.i really like games like cod4 with a more real life feel.(like no monsters or aliens)

    i would also like them to be more recent, like in the last year or less. and no online only cause i have to wait a week or two to upgrade my crap internet connect.

    Really, I can't think of many good shooters that are offline from the recent year...

    All the good ones- Battlefield 1942/2/2142, Counter Strike: Source, etc. are all based online.

    You are going to have to wait till Far Cry 2 comes out. No magic/scifi, just free roaming to the max. Think of it like Crysis to the Max, minus the scifi. It is all aliens and monsters this side of COD4 and singleplayer.

    Here's a nice list of the top rated games in the past 12 months. I've already played or in the process of playing a large number of them on that list. My vote would be World in Conflict, Portal, or else Assassin's Creed
