What to get?

Cr0fty · 6 Dec 2007 at 18:56

Can only get 1-2 games for crimbo as i've expended my parents' budget already on a whole new rig

(Q6600, 8800GT, P35C, P182, HX520, 2GB OCR 6400 and a NH-U12F)

I want an FPS.

Either...

Unreal tournament
COD4 ( already got it on Ps3 but that's only at my dad's house...)
Orange Box
Crysis
Bioshock

Which one of these has the largest community on OCuk, and ...which would you personally choose

Cod 4 and Orange box (few games in there)

NVIDIA_x64 · 6 Dec 2007 at 19:02

I would say

Orange Box :cool:

Crysis

But COD 4 has better game play than all of them so it is hard to say

Orange Box + UT/CoD4

CoD 4 had a big community but you've already got that, not sure what it's like with the (insert word here) PSN.

You can always get Bioshock/Crysis at a later date if you fancy some single player action.

Hmm i think i'll probably end up getting the Orange Box. And if i can CoD4 aswell. ( or i'll just buy that with christmas money from relatives =D )

Orange box and cod4, you can't miss out on these 2 gems!

willhub · 6 Dec 2007 at 20:44

Either of these 2 combinations:

UT3
Orange Box

Or

UT3
Crysis

Megahurtz400 · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:08

Wish i got prsents like that

Orange box F T W though

Mooron455 · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:09

Orange box & Crysis
Hell no to UT3, tis crap

chris74 · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:10

As already stated for the truth, orange box and COD4.

TF2 and COD4 are the best 2 games of the year imo

Hedge · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:18

Sorry it aint on list, but stick The Witcher on ya list

Hedge · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:19

oops. i best read threads in future. ignore me

COD4 - Great game but dont bother if you have it on console.
Orange Box - 3 fantastic games in one. Spent a lot of the last few months on TF2.
Crysis - Great game (both on and offline), technically its far and a way above anything else. It does need a monster pc though. If you want anything above 1280*1024 you'll have to turn it down a bit.
Bioshock - Very stylish game, with a great story. Very good first time. but little replay value.

You can't go wrong with any of those. The best 2 are probably Crysis and Orange Box

TBH I've bought ET;QW orange box gears of war and don't think I could cope with another FPS at the moment.
Well I suppose its more to do with being overloaded with games which at first seems like a good thing but then its just hard to appreciate them all.

All those are good games. Despite what I just said i may be getting COD4 for christmas too. Just got the Witcher and its a great game would highly recommend.

Not surprising now days, couples earning well over 50k a year.

Tute · 6 Dec 2007 at 21:52

CoD4 and Orange Box, although UT3 is really good as well. Others are a bit disappointing.

Cr0fty · 7 Dec 2007 at 16:13

I got this crimbo present because i saved up £300 of my own over the year. And my parents put in £250 each

Definately Orange Box. I'll decide the other when i order

Thanks =)
