Need some good single player games

Cheers for the suggestions guys.

I'll order Bioshock, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed and Crysis sometime this week. I've shopped around and can get them all for around £25 with a possible 8% cashback as well! :)

May also pick up Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. I've seen it for just over £10. Can you just confirm that none of the games in this post need to mess around with Steam or have any annoying DRM?

Is it just games downloaded from Steam that are tied with it? Am I fine if I buy separate DVD/CD's?

I think the above will keep me going until FM2011 in a few months! :)

Isn't there a massive update on Steam though? One reviewer said it was around a 20GB update! Or does it let you install everything from the DVD?

Well, you don't get the updates of course. But the entire game can install from the DVD yes. You just won't get Half-Life 2 updated to the newest source engine until you get some proper internet :p

Just don't fancy paying £15 for every 3GB I download really.

Cheers guys. I've seen Crysis is only around a fiver brand new. is that worth a go? MW2 is one that's been on my list. I'm not familiar with 'The Witcher'. I'll check it out now.

You can install it fromdisk and either play offline as the default retail version or just use steam to download the latest patches.

oh and the STALKER series.

If you run it off-line you don't have to update, but if you buy it from steam someone on here could burn all the fully updated files to a few dvd's for you and post them then you wouldn't have to dl anything. (or you could dl them o na differnt pc/a mates.
 
Ordered Crysis, Bioshock, COD4 MW and Assassin's Creed. Will be getting a GTX 460 tomorrow as well. I'm looking forward to it. It'll make a pleasant change from playing UT2004 on my onboard 4250 graphics! :)

Also saw Metro 2033 for around £11 brand new. I was tempted but didn't buy it in the end.

Got Crysis, Assassins Creed and Bioshock delivered this morning.

Am I OK to install the Crysis 1.2 patch straight away or does it need an earlier patch? Also, when selecting different modes in game with the mouse scroll wheel, I find it tricky to press and scroll at the same time. Maybe I should make the scroll wheel more sensitive in the settings?

I've had an hour on Assassins Creed and find it to be very scripted so far. Will I get more freedom to move around later on in the game? Also, I got the Director's Cut. Is this fully patched up already?
