Brand New PC, I can get one game. Help me choose?

[PlaylistOne]

My two main choices are The Orange Box, and the Crysis complete pack on Steam. I already have the Orange Box on 360 but I want a chance to play with the new updates. Yes my PC can run Crysis and Crysis Warhead. Which should I get, and what else do you reccomend?

I would say Orange Box. I remember the first game I booted up when I rebuilt my PC was Half-Life 2. Played the gravity gun sequence over a few times.

Box, a l'Orange. 5 games in one package.

Well, if you already have the Orange Box, then I'd say Crysis. From what I've heard the update (at least for Team Fortress 2) is just a few new weapons and hats.

Go for The Orange Box, you'll get far more for the money.

 

[Dr. Wily III]

Orange Box, everything else is a lie!

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

Orange Box. That's all the games you'll need for a long time.

 

[ghalkhsdkssakgh]

Orange Box. Then get Deus Ex and Psychonauts.

Crysis just because you've got the Orange Box so your not getting your full moneys worth

 

[AdambotLive]

neither.

Seems like everyone had it right.
Orangebox or kick yourself. Quantity + Quality = good choice.

Other then that, I would say pick something you know you can put hours upon hours into seeing as you can only have one game.
Remember we are not you. Only you know what you really like all your going to get here is a list of others loves and hates.

So tell us what you really like and not just what your computer runs. You shouldent buy a game just because your comp can run it.

Crysis. Better games, and the orange box would be pointless seeing as you have it on 360. A point which most of these people seem to have missed...

If you can run Crysis, I assume you can run Fallout 3 and GTA IV, which I'd suggest over both of those. Both are good, and I suggest you pick up The Orange Box at another time, but Fallout 3 seems like it'd be a MUCH better deal then Crysis.

I've played through both of them on my 360 coutless times.... I can barely look at the box at this point.

It depends. If you want to find a ton of players for Team Fortress 2 along with updates AND a lot of neat mods for Half-Life 2 and Portal, then get the Box. If you want a shooter that will give you deja'vu (hey! power armor!) coupled with an overwhelmingly mediocre expansion, then get the Crysis pack.

I'm an RTS and RPG man, so my real suggestion would be Empire: Total War (little buggy though), Dawn of War II (steam), Demigod--hell, take a blast from the past with Stronghold. The Witcher is also amazing.

If you're a shooter diehard though, get Farcry 2, Bioshock, or ArmaII.

 

[not a zaar]

Orange Box is a good value, but you already got it for the Xbox, and the new additions to TF2 really aren't worth buying everything all over again. Crysis, I can't comment on but it doesn't seem to have a very popular online community, and I've heard the single player is just average length, so it won't last you that long. In other words, think of some other game.

Orange Box

It's crystal meth, in a box!

Kudos if you get the reference.

Fallout 3 might also be worth mentioning (but if you wait two months you can get the GOTY pack that also includes all 5 DLC )

Orange Box, much more bang for you buck
