OK i have $45 bucks (need 5 more) and will be buying some sort of new game for either my PS@, my XBOX or my computer...

Thing is, I dont know WHAT game I will be buying.

Games I am tossing around the idea of picking up:

PS2:

Tsugunai
MGS2 (Rented it, but didnt like it too much. may wait for it to go on previously played at blockbuster)
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance

PC:

Ghost Recon
AvP2
Star Wars: Galactic Battleground

XBOX:

Nothing picked, suggesstions?

OK, these are just games i was thinking of, if anyone wants to suggest any one of them, or if they have played something not on the list thats good, lemme know.

If I have the game already Illlet ya know

PS2: Get Tsunugai. We can compare notes and figure this bitch out... make a FAQ, be famous. You know the routine.

PC: SoL is all you need for now. The rest of what you listed is only really fun as multi-player.

XBOX: Halo is fun multi-player and the FIRST time you play through the game... though I must admit the extra scene added in the ending for beating it on the hardest setting was worth all the bitching it made me do on the way. THPS2x is fun, but wears out my thumb pretty quickly. DOA3 is cool until you unlock all the endings and find out it doesn't do anything like unlocking characters or anything. I mean, you can Unlock EIN, but that's just another Hayate... woo. Fun as multiplayer though.

The guys in the office here say that the AvP2 single player game kicks ass and that the multiplayer is good *IF* you have good players.....

For Xbox you could try Amped if you don't already have it. It's supposed to have a pretty steep learning curve but once you get it is a lot of fun (I personally do not own it, I have plenty of fun with Halo, DOA3, Fuzion Frenzy, and NFL Fever).

What kind of games do you like?

For X-Box, PGR is pretty damned cool, and the soundtrack rocks. And, oddly enough, Munch's Oddysee is freakin' hilarious--the best incarnation of a platformer I've seen.

Haven't seen anything intriquing for PC recently.

ok, it actually looked better.

As for games I already own:

XBOX:

Halo
DOA3
THPS2X
Project Gotham

PS2:

GTA3, among others

As for MGS2, im porolly gonna wait for it to go on sale previously played.

I hate decisions.

As for what Deli said about FFX, that was one of my other thoughts.

its between BG Dark Alliance, Tsugunai, and waiting on FFX.

Now, I can LIKELY find a way to MAYBE get more money in 20 days, Im putting some MTG cards up on ebay soon for sale.

GAWD I HATE THIS!!!

Rent Munch's Oddysee . . . you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I hate platform games with a passion, but Munch's plays more like a 3rd-person adventure/puzzle. The graphics are exquisite. And it's hilarious. The characters are constantly muttering like Popeye. Great sound, too. Plenty of lavish cut-scenes, but not so many you feel like you're watching instead of playing.

At least Force Commander had 3D graphics, missions that actually made sense, and good animations for the units.

Galactic Battlegrounds has none of those. Add in HORRIBLE scenery that makes your eyes hurt, and worse graphics than those on Command & Conquer 1, and you see what comes out of the Lucasarts pot-smoking meeting.

AVP2 is a cool game as far as single player goes, however short. I beat all three campaigns in normal difficulty in little over 3 days.

Then again, I'm an FPS junkie

starwars Galactic Battlegrounds uses the same engine as, hell, cant remember if it's Civ or AoE. Strategy games aren't my bag, but I do enjoy watching my friends play it.

Etherlords if you used to play M:TG =) Try the demo out first; it's very similar to mtg rules, except a few different terms. Also the ability to edit your hero's specializations and skills adds a new touch.

I thought Galaxies was worse than FC, though FC hasn't worked forever, and it won't work in 800x600 on my comp....

Though, on topic of what game to buy.... Wait for FFX or get GTA3. (PS2)

For X-Box I'd say either Star Wars Starfighter:Special Edition which is out now or the Obi Wan Kenobi game which will be out on the 19th.
