Got the evenings to myself for nearly a week so fancied a new single player game to get into.
Just finishing Wolfenstein which was only ok. I have'nt played CoD MW2 or BF BC2 yet.
Considering Call of Pripyat but the stalker games are a bit slow burning.
CoD MW sp was epic and im looking for a real adrenaline ride to complete in 4 nights.

What do you reckon (prefably off steam) for kicks? MP is a bonus but im only a casual gamer so don't need anything requiring lots of time to have a laugh now and again.

Ta.
 
I looked at Metro 2033 here, looks very STALKER'ish. I love SOC and CS but they are slow burners and I want to be taken on a ride for a few nights without being able to stop.
Sounds a bit buggy too from the forum posts.

Batman AA looked pretty awesome but is it melee scrapping etc? I prefer guns or bloody great big swords.

I think I want to play MW2 but resent the cost for a short game and slated MP.

If only the HL episode 3 was out:(
 
Not as good as RTCW.
Much repitivness in the maps.
Still it's good fun nonetheless for shooting occult lovin' nazis and catsuit wearing frauleins with an array of overpowered guns!

It would seem I might give MW2 a miss then.
Got some research to do now thanks:)
 
Maybe I should add a few more parameters.

Have played:

STALKER SoC & CS. (great but I like to play it over months as the mood takes)
HL2 & episodes so far. (EP3 release getting frustrating but good games)
BF1942,BF2 &2142. (Don't do the online clan thing anymore as it sucked out my life!)
CoD + 2 MW + WaW. Love 'em all and really want toplay MW2 but it's too pricey and dodgy MP.
Bioshock (ok)
Quake IV (brown and pants)
Oblivion + all DLC's (fantastic)
Fallout 3 (brown and ok)
Dark Mesiah (choppy chop fun)
All PC Wolfensteins (fun but not to be taken seriously).
IL2 etc
SH2
Currently playing Dead Space which is causing me a shortage of fresh pants!

So I like shooty shooters and choppy choppers.

How good is the shootyness in Mass effect and Metro 2033? I want something to absorb me and I really want noisy bangy guns:D

As your list seems to point to Oblivion most of all, why not try Morrowind?

Although I'm a bit surprised because you specified an FPS, and Oblivion's quite far from that.

Anyway, just go for Borderlands and have done with it. :D

As for Mass Effect 1 and 2: Meh!
Click to expand...

Oblivion is a game I've got hundreds of hours on.
Im deliberately looking for a high energy sp game that drags you in and leaves you sweating at the keyboard unable to stop. (as I've got the house to myself for nearly a week and won't get nagged by the missus!)
I found the CoD single players most like that but feel MW2 is overpriced and sold out like a hollywood whore.
So im just enquiring as to what other similar sp games are around that give you that feeling.
I like either long term games you invest time and effort into or short intense sp games with an mp option that doesn't involve time investment.
 
Done some youtubing and have to rule out ME1 & 2. Far to consoley and dialoggy!

As a wildcard I looked into The Witcher. This looks pretty good and Witcher 2 is out soon.

Reckon I'll go for The Witcher or Stalker CoP and maybe a gamble on a cheap steam deal.

I really wanted a slick and polished SP shooter but it seems they're overpriced and undertime.

Currently Dead Space is pretty good. feels very clunky moving about and aiming but once I got into the habit of approaching corners and doors with the aim up it was'nt so bad.

Thanks for all your suggestions and any tips/links about must have Witcher mods etc would be well appreciated.:)
