Last night in my shop (which is a game/dvd shop so you know) we were all talking about how we were getting a little bored with COD purely because it's the only thing that has managed to hold our interest for a long time. After trying out some other titles that were meant to be good I was unimpressed. We were all wondering then if the wider gaming community has any hidden gems/overlooked titles that would be worth our money and keep us interested until Assassin's Creed 2 and the new Modern Warfare come out. A good online multiplayer would be nice and age isn't really important.

Rune [http://www.runegame.com/], a viking hack'n'slash. Kept me interested for 8 years, so it should keep you entertained for a few weeks. Since you're interested in multiplayer, I recommend getting the Halls of Valhalla standalone expansion rather than the regular game, it's a multiplayer only game with better balance.

If you want something a little bit more hardcore than COD4, then I reccomend the following:

- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow Of Chernobyl (better plot/immersion) OR S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear sky (Better graphics/gameplay)
- Rainbow Six Vegas 2
- Far cry 2 (not that hardore, but still fun)
- ARMA2 (Very hardcore, may not be fun to people who don't enjoy simulation games)

Ok Rainbow Six V.2 is a fantastically deep and entertaining title, but all of the others will become laborious and boring to play within the first 15 minutes.

I still reckon shadow of chernobyl is superior in eery way to clear sky. But once at a LAN aprty we all ended up playing Stalker (single player) and simply discussing the game and what was happening in our zone. Was suprisingly fun, since Stalker is a very unqiue experiance and its fun to share it, Even if it is just to show the weather.

- ARMA2 (Very hardcore, may not be fun to people who don't enjoy simulation games)

Stalker only becomes boring once you have spent 100+ hours on it. The other titles I understand your point fully.

Go to the store, buy some gnocci potato noodles. Go home, boil them for just a couple of minutes (they go quick), and then fry them with some garlic, butter and salt (the salt helps them brown). Serve them with a side of large curd cottage cheese.

If you have a computer that runs at all I'd recommend Quake Live. Halo 3 has good multi for the Xbox, as does BF: 1943, but I'll warn you, it's going to take a while to iron out all of the irritating connection issues in Battlefield.

 

[I_LIKE_CAKE]

Team Fortress 2.

You'll thank me later.

add some L4D, and you will be in heaven.

Whatever you do, avoid Gears of War 2 online. It's practically broken.

Hey I actually like the online for Gears2, though i never did play the first one so I may be lacking a reference point, but it still seems fun to me.

The first one was good online, great even at times, so the second one felt like a bit of a slap in the face to me.

 

[Ultress]

Persona 3 if you have a PS2 and an interest in JRPGS. If not go with Bioshock and either Rainbow six Vegas for the 360.

 

[ddon]

Already have it sadly. It is very good... Was thinking of Call of Juarez 2 or maybe Prototype. But then I also heard that Armoured Core For Answer was really good. And we're talking for the 360 here. Forgot to mention that, d'oh.

do not do call of juarez. i hear its storyline is confusing and makes no sense. im not talking about killer 7 confusing i mean it just does things that doesnt give a explanation ever in the game. or atleast thats what i heard. if you want a story or something that makes sense dont do call of juarez.

 

[L24z13L]

Sins of Solar Empire. I haven't played it much but I have heard a lot about it. From what I hear and see it's a really good game but it takes a long time to play and beat. I haven't used the multiplayer function but I hear it runs well.

other than that I would recommend stuff like S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, The Orange Box, and there's always classics that you can go back to like Starcraft and Warcraft II.

 

[omgwaffles]

Orange Box, L4D, GTA IV, Fallout 3, Fable 2




That should keep you busy until MW 3

 

[ars731]

Diablo 2, one of the best game ever

 

[Fraught]

Team Fortress 2.

You'll thank me later.

And you can thank me later for reinforcing his point.

i dont understand why everyone likes team fortress 2? i hate it -.-

 

[Abedeus]

Team Fortress 2.

Meh. L4D is pretty boring, IMO. I mean, sure, it's fun in Versus for the first two or three times, but I kept getting dumb players that don't know how to wait for the best moment to attack.

Hell no, Valve games suck on consoles.
