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...

Keyboard is all you will need.

the only definate way to tell if you will like a game is to play the demo first. I'm sure you can get all of those games for $80 on the FS/T part of the forums.

half-life of course, awesome singleplayer, and the multiplayer and mods are awesome (esp DoD and CS)

return to castle wolfenstein because of the multiplayer is supposed to be good, i dont' know for sure myself (haven't played it yet)

half-life cuz its cheap and been modded in every form,

should be $15
rtcw cuz it seems like a pretty good game from the multi-demo! $40-50

ut, cuz its pure simple multiplayer fun (and been modded to some extent) $30

I'll be the loner to recommend Tribes 2. I think you can get it for $20 now. It's a bit harder of a learning curve than other FPS but team based so it kicks ass. :) There might be a demo which you might wanna try cause it'd be bad for you to buy it and totally hate it cause its a little different than like HL, Q3A, UT, etc...

Get the most classic Half-life there is so it will be the cheapest. If you want T2 then get that too so there's $40 for two games. THen you can spend $30 on D2 and be within your limit AND have a good choice of games. THat's my recommendations.
