hey all. Well, i'm gonna buy a couple of games tommorow, Im so confused on what to get though, I got like $80. Now keep in mind reading this, that ive never played ANY of these games (except the RTCW demo) so im relying on votes totally here. If you have any other games you can recommend, plz do! Im looking to spend like 2-3 hours playing games at most each day (so no games like everquest ect.), and im a fan of all types of games, but mostly RPG's and First person shooters. ! Anyways here are the games, Please vote and let me know which 2 you think I should get (or you can list them best to worst if you want!). Thanks for the help....

(Games are listed in no particular order)

Max Payne
Half-Life
Diablo 2
Quake 3 Arena
Unreal Tournament
Return to Castle Wolfenstein


I know they are all sweet games, but I can only afford 2, it would be a waste for me to get anymore anyways since I only got 3 hours each day MAX. If you think i forgot a good game lemme know... Also... should I get a joystick or a gamepad to play them with? Which is better for first person shooters???

Thanks alot...

Half Life.

The rest... I like Q3 over UT, Max Payne is also cool, as is Diablo II.
Tough call and I dont really think anyone can make that call for you...

If your an RPG fan how can you not put Baldur's gate 2 on the list?

But, since you didn't I'll vote for Half life and either RTCW or UT.

80 bucks huh...wait on RTCW $55.00 is ridiculous, I'd go for Half Life, Diablo 2 and still have some $$$ to buy Serious Sam or American Mcgees Alice Which are both cheap:)

I think their are three games that you should play: Max Payne, Half-Life, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

However, if your looking for games that will -last- a while (as opposed to playing 10 hours with the above titles) get Diablo 2.

None of these games require anything other than a good mouse and keyboard. Using something like a gamepad will only hinder
yourself.
