    at the top of the page click on User CP, then look on the side for Edit Signature, click that and there you go.

    Hey Half-Life 2 is still GREAT. In fact, I'd say that it's THE best game I have ever played in my life. No joke.

    Fallout is worth a full run, take it easy and enjoy a solid 80 hour single player experience. It was great the first time, but then I got bored of it... I haven't downloaded the DLC yet because I don't support paying for over-priced 2 hour missions with little replay, especially at $10 each(!). But the game is good, get it ;)

    My suggestion is...

    1. Portal
    2. GTA IV
    3. Other stuff

    Oblivion could rise above IF you like that style... personally the leveling system killed the game for me. "Lets penalize players for using their primary abilities." Absolutely inane.

    BTW, I haven't played Fallout 3 yet, but have heard it's great, so it's probably at the top if you prefer RPG and maybe number 2 anyway.

    I definitely recommend giving Fallout 3 a try next time.

    I don't know how to put it into words, but it is just pure awesomeness on so many different levels.

    The orange box is a good choice though since it really gives you alot of bang for your buck.

    We need to get a community game going on GRID. I'm tired of racing in the ranked races where trolls try to crash into me all day.

    played orange box (+1) on a friend's xbox360 several months ago. that's hl2, ep one, ep two and portal. haven't played TFC2. i now own a pc version of orange box to enjoy on my M17x and play using a keyboard and mouse instead of a controller/gamepad :)

    gta iv +1
    l4d +1 - awesome multiplayer action. but don't bother if u have a high latency wireless connection. IF you haven't bought l4d yet, then i'd say play something else until the end of the year and buy l4d 2 (or an l4d 1+2 pack)

    Orange box definitly, can't beat getting 5 great games for $30 plus it costs nearly $100 to get them seperately.Orange box is practicaly a steal.

    I recommend GTA IV if your rig can cope with it. I have only done a few missions because I find it so much fun just going on rampages in the city environment. The game is always different and you never really know what funny things are going to happen next or what you will see going on. I can't play it without the Realism Mod though.
