fallout 3 no contest.
GOTY
GOTM

Since you actually liked Oblivion, yeah, Fallout 3 should be at the top of your list.

Some others to try: Dawn of War (get a compilation version with all the various expansions)

 

[Alphathree33]

What's "GOTY GOTM"

 

[TridenT]

Wrong forum.
<-- PC Gaming, that way.

Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne(This will keep you occupied for sure, especially with DOTA)

12 hours a day gaming? Are you going to eat, shit, shower?

 

[Platypus]

fallout 3 might be one of the best games I've ever played so I vote for that.

ps do ALL the sidequests and explore or else the game will be over way too quick

 

[dbk]

game of the year/month?

 

[sash1]

this belongs in PC gaming subforum but anyway: fallout 3 or left4dead are good

Why not play in the bathroom with a door clearance big enough to slide pizza under?

All your problems are worked out then.

1. He already plays/played WoW.
2. Gears of War 2 is not out for the computer... He wants a computer game.

For the first point : It's not like wow ends, he can easily reup for 15 bucks and play again or start over as a new character,etc. He can also buy the expansion if he hasn't played it (though he'd have to reup and buy xpac) and go through that content too. It also fits the bill of filling up your time.

I have no defense for the second point RESmonkey made.

DOTA! In my first year in college I played so many games of SC. What the hell, it was like 6 years old of a game by then but I still had fun. I played some DOTA last year in Asia although I got kicked for not being able to type in Chinese (WTF). I can still ping and call MIA =P

Yeah, but if he wanted to play WoW... He would. He already said he played it, maybe he doesn't want to now?

His budget was $100, don't know if you missed that.

They are not worth it unless there are some cheat codes to "pass the game" in the first 5min.
