Recommend me something please

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.

Team Fortress 2.

You'll thank me later.

Well, Battlefield 1943 just came out, and at 15 bucks for a great multiplayer experience, it's a good deal. Good game for the WWII Genre, and uses same engine as Bad Company, so good graphics and sound, along with destructible environments.

Then of course there's Left 4 Dead. Great game, last you forever, and is really good for teamwork, so if you play it with your buddies, that's good.

What platform...

I have to agree with Team Fortress 2 though.

 

[Garzo]

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.

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)

From what i've heard, left 4 dead can be extremelly fun.

P.S I have played call of juarez 2. It was fun. A bit confusing at times, but fun

While many will disagree, I really love Halo 3 online. And ODST is coming in September which will include the whole Halo 3 multiplayer including the DLC maps.

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

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Halo 3 has great multiplayer.

 

[Irridium]

Unreal Tournament 2004
One of the best fast paced shooters ever.

 

[Insanum]

BF1943 will be fun for a few weeks.

H3 is a good fallback.

Fallout is good non-multiplayer.

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

^oh, and this.

 

[Mercernary]

Bioshock, Fallout 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mass Effect, God of War, God of War II.
Sorry to be so generic, but they're all really great games.

 

[romitelli]

Play the old Lucasarts adventure titles.

Your PC will thank you for it.

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

Isn't ARMA2 very buggy?
Still, I would either recommend that, it's predecessor or Operation Flashpoint. All very good games, and running around in circles is not a good tactic to not get shot in any of them, particuarly as your aim buggers up when you move.

Get The Orange Box...

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.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Wow... I disagree with about half the people here... But anyway, single player wise, STALKER, Fallout 3, BioShock, and the Half-Life 2 series are amazing...
