Suggest New Single Player Game

JATownes · Mar 17, 2010, 08:55 PM

Ok...last night I finished Mass Effect 2 (Epic Game!!) So it is time to move on to something bigger/better. I am looking for something single player that I can get some hours out of.

Also, I am trying to convince the Warden (Wife) to give me the go ahead to grab a 5850 or 5870, so I need something that will bring my 4850 Crossfire rig to its knees.

Suggestions please. I have an hour before work is done, so I can grab the game on the way home.

Thanks in Advance!

P.S. How is the single player BC2? <---Really thinking about this one...or maybe Bioshock 2.

That is what I was afraid of. How about Bioshock 2? The first one was amazing, but I haven't heard much about 2....

jc2 is out in about 10 days if you can wait.I do reckon bioshock2 will be ok,but not near as good as a sandbox game like jc2.

You tried red faction guerilla? its pretty fine and a sandbox type too so lots to do.

JATownes · Mar 17, 2010, 09:11 PM

Thanks tigger. Just Cause 2 it is...looking for preorder now. I thnk I might grab Red Faction this afternoon just for giggles.

tigger · Mar 17, 2010, 09:13 PM

Red faction guerilla is really quite good.I'll be buying jc2 myself for sure.

Thanks guys. My time here at the office is about done, so I am heading to grab a (some) new game(s). You all have given me a lot to think about.

jasper1605 · Mar 17, 2010, 09:57 PM

Knights of the Old Republic. 1 or 2, they were awesome. 1 is a touch better I think, it's a bit older (not like crazy old) but it was phenomenal!

The story of Bioshock 2 is not always as thought provoking and novel as Bioshock, partially because Bioshock was so successful in developing a credible world. The plot in this sequel revolves around a devious psychiatrist, Sofia Lamb, who creates a collectivist society within Rapture, intending to forge a truly selfless human through DNA splicing, and has little girls from the surface kidnapped and forced to continue the ADAM gathering process. Contrary to Bioshock, which drags to an unceremonious conclusion, it gets better as it goes along, then ends on a high note.
