I need a new game having played COD 4 a bit too much and gotten slightly bored with it (well now I'm starting to feel like other games, if that counts as being bored :D)

I could get 2 games but am leaning towards 1 because I want to get Mercenaries 2 when it is released.

Tossing up between a few:

Fifa 09 (when released)
NBA 2k9 (when is this being released? If a while away then 2k8)
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Time Crisis 4 (any good?)
Lord of the Rings: Conquest (again any good?)

Which one would you get and why?
 
Out of those i'd say force unleashed. Pretty slim pickings at the moment, but the market is about to go off with new releases if you can wait a little while:thumbsu:

+ 1 :thumbsu:

But, without knowing what you currently have and what you like it's hard to say.

I'd probably suggest something not on that list, but you may have it or it may not be your thing, such as the Orange Box with HL2 and Ep1 and 2, Portal and TF2, amazing value

+1 again for Star Wars, Mercs 2 should give you heaps of fun until then.

Have heard Time Crisis 4 is shit, so I wouldn't want to be wasting your money on it.

NBA 2K9 has a release date for an October 7 release in the US, but it always gets delayed coming down to Aus, so I would say think about importing if you can, certainly what I will be doing, if there is no certain release date for Aus.

The 2K games are usually only delayed 1 week max between US and Aus aren't they?
 
I just played battlefront 2 again and its awesome so I think I will get force unleashed.

What game would you suggest I get as well?

It could be anything except GTA 4, COD 4, AC, Conflict: Denied Ops, Fifa 08 or Pro Street

Other suggestions Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Unchartered: Drakes Fortune, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Rachet and Clank: Tools of Destruction.

Btw, I'm assuming you have PS3???
 
Yep ps3 :thumbsu:

Played the 1st 3 ratchet and clank and loved them but gladiator put me off the series. What is tools of destruction like compared to the first 4?

Thanks for the help I will have a look at reviews and come back here a bit more informed :D

I don't own R&C, I have borrowed it from my bro.....it's very good.

There is a demo on PSN, perhaps give it a go.

What sort of game are you looking for? Racer? FPS / TPS? Action / Adventure? 3d Platformer?

More like 1-2 months, trust me, I have been waiting out for the last 3 NBA titles, NBA 2K7, 2K8(PS2), 2K8(PS3), 2K7 came out about 1 month after supposed release, 2K8 on PS2 was the same, and the 2K8 on PS3 kept getting delayed and didn't end up coming out until about June last year.

They are the ones that interest me. Although I am thinking about the buy 2 get 1 free deal @ EB. Top Spin 3, R: FoM and Orange Box for $190 I think

I have a better idea, if you can wait a few days.

Get them from play asia:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-14-71-bm-49-en.html

They are all region free and usually cheaper than in store.

Check them out if you haven't already, some great deals to be had :thumbsu:
 
uncharted and ratchet and clank tools of destruction are AWESOME games and both are a HD tv's dream...absolutely stunning looking and playing games.

the orange box is pretty damn awesome....but also pretty damn buggy for the ps3....
the load times are the WORST i've ever encountered.... so be sure to stay alive if you get it because it's not fun waiting for it to load.

theres plenty of choices already available and a crapload in the near future so i hope you're not just resticting yourself to one title!

Debatable on the whole but consoles have had the edge in the sporting genre for a while. FIFA 09 is the only "next gen" EA sports game to make its way to PC and I've always been a PES fan (which is "next gen" on pc). Hopefully NHL will follow soon.

It's simply easier and better playing sporting games with gamepads. I have a gamepad so it doesn't hurt me but many PC users don't.
