More Information

I'm planning on buying 4-5 PC games this year but i need help on choices. They are CoD4 cuz i don;t have it yet, Frontline fuels of war, rainbow six vegas 2, brother in arms hell's highway, tiberium, far cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Stalker Clear Sky and Project Origin.
I will definitely buy Far Cry 2 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I might buy CoD4 and frontline fuels of war tommorow but i'm not sure will the other games on the list will be better. I've never played Far Cry, Brother in Arms, FEAR and stalker but i think it would be good. I;m not sure about Hell's Highway since i bought the ww2 game MOH airborne 2 months ago and it isn't that good, I think project origin is too scary and L4D has crappy graphics. Wat should i chose? i might buy 6games if i wanna waste some cash :D

Why not wait until the games are released and see what reviewers think of the games?

I dont think its a bad idea to plan what games you want ahead of time, that way if a game gets a bad review, you are still comitted to picking it up, which people should do, because reviews can be so person-to-person specific. Get COD4 no matter what you do.

How about soccer? Maybe get outside for a bit?  :kaola:

 

Don't get me wrong, I love computer games (especially FPS, RPG and RTS), but summer really is a time to play outside!! :sol:  :bounce: :sarcastic:

 

OK, now for what you actually wanted to know.  :ange: How about getting the demos for some of the games? Or you could play the original Far Cry, or get Crysis if your rig can handle it.

 

Or you could always try good 'ole Age of Empires 2  :pt1cable:

Ahhhh, well I love football (soccer), and I love just running. But that's off topic :non: Good to see you've already played Crysis, I've played all of it but the last level. I'm doing the same thing, waiting for my new rig to play it all on high.  
 
Well I'm all out of ideas (and hungry), so good luck on your search!

I would like to know which game would run better on my system for now CoD4 or frontlines fuel of war. I;m getting my new system in 20days but my current one is Pentium 4 3ghz, 1gb ram, Geforce 7300gs 512mb. Which game is more demanding and could i use this to run the game on medium settings?

I think I said that

The Orange box can keep you busy for ages if you don't have it yet.
 
If it is money and not time that limits you to 5 games, then you should grab those games you have not played out of the bargain bin.  SHoot, farcry and fear are must plays IMO, especially for $10-20.  
 
Down the road, I'll be in line with you to grab Farcry 2 when it is released.  Hope I'm not dissapointed.

If I were to pick 5 games in advance to buy this year ... I'd go with Starcraft 2, Spore, Fallout 3, Dragon Age, and Smash Bros Brawl.
 
Though it looks like your taste in games is very VERY different from mine.
