Title: I need some advice
Post by: ColdNestea on June 30, 2008, 09:20:53 PM: My local BestBuy gave me a $25 gift card for getting A's in school. Now, I must instantly splurge this money. I'm considering buying a PC game, now the question is which one... I want a game that I won't get sick of and will continually enjoy; which probably means the game must have online play like Counterstrike: Source or Unreal Tournament.

Feel free to pitch in your two cents, just make sure the game you suggest is carried by BestBuy. Right now I'm deciding between these two:

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warefare - $50.00
The Orange Box - $40.00

Those alone are games that can keep you busy for quite some time when you don't feel like playing online. And portal seems pretty sweet even though I have not even tried it yet. And well TF2 well it is so fucking addicting it's not even funny.

COD4 is addictive though.-- ask for this as a gift from parents around a birthday or something, definitely worth having.
