So hey /v/...

I recently acquired a large sum of Christmas money, and I'm looking into a few games.

I'd love any feedback on which are ones to buy or to avoid:

Super Mario Galaxy
The Orange Box
and CoD 4: Modern Warfare

I've heard good things about all 3... but those are from (most-likely) biased video game sites.

Halp!

The Orange Box is the best deal you'll get, and nobody can deny it.

Well, I mean its part of 4chon, which basically rips everything a new asshole, so if anyone gives a good review here, it's most likely very true.

All of them are good. CoD4 less so than the other two, the single-player is good but the multiplayer is... not so great.

I don't even like FPS games, but The Orange Box is good value for the bucks considering you get Portal alongside the other two games.

But no matter what ANYONE says, I'd never buy a PS3 unless: Some version of the Jet Set Radio franchise came out, had actually decent games, and it could suck my cock.

I would say Orange Box -> CoD 4 -> UR MR GAY. The Orange Box wins for variety and the timesink that is TF2. UR MR GAY is longer than CoD 4 but lacks the HOLY SHIT factor CoD has.

if you are gonna get CoD 4 or orange box for PC, wait like a month or 2, because PC games drop in price faster than console games.

mario galaxy is awesome, a good adventure game, take mario 64 and make it a billion times more fun.

orange box is good, portal and half life are short, but TF2 will give you billions of hours of multiplay.

i havent played CoD4, so its prolly gay.

CoD4 > The Orange Box.

CoD4's SP is short but good. Unless you're one of those furious nerd rage over every single little nitpick kind of guy.

the MP is good as well.

Portal is too short, fun but short.

TF2 also is short. By that I mean. Once you've played all the ( And By all I mean the, 5 differnt maps, which all look the same anyway) with each class, it turns into doing the exact same plays every round and playing the same map twice every hour since there's so few.

Maybe once TF2 gets more maps. but for now. If you want a good Multiplayer shooter, go CoD4.

If you want something more casual, go with the orange box.

Galaxy I have no idea. I have a wii but, I'm only looking forward to brawl. I didn't even give galaxy another glance.

You get original half-life 2, ep 1, ep 2, TF2 and Portals. And all of this games a pretty good or even awesome.
While COD4 is good, it's still only 5 hours long and multiplayer is just decent.
Never played Mario Galaxy.
Orange box.

ALL 3 ARE GOOD

however

i'd go

orangebox
galaxy
cod4

in that order just cuz orange box is the best deal and everyone here loves tf2 (so you know its gotta be good) and if they say they don't they are just trolling. And cod4 is also an fps so i don't know if you want another fps with the 5 you get with orangebox.

Also I got some other suggestions.

All these are for PC anyway.

Titan Quest - Great Diablo 2 remake. Better Graphics / Physics. Its longer, Has more classes, Harder, just all around a successor to Diablo 2. Worth a look if you haven't already.

Overlord - Very very fun. Think Pikmin, only evil. You can have your Imps attack villagers, ransack houses, get drunk in pubs, and just run amuck while you explore large areas and go on quests to not only make yourself and your imps stronger, but to become a Overlord ( Or Hero).

The way the imps are just so happy to help you, run around buzzing with joy as they rip a zombies arm off and use it as a club. Or steal a dead kings crown to wear on their head. Its great fun. Really something that will make you >:D

Gears of War (PC) - Im only in the second act. However I haven't had any slowdown or any bugs so far ( Then again I have a PC that can run Crysis on High with 60fps). I will say the Characters themselves are very forgetable. Also the Friendly AI is just downright painfully stupid in some areas.

In one part, when you first run into a berserker, My partner decided it would be a good idea to, for about 20+ restarts, to walk (not run, walk) right infront of the door I wanted to drag the Berserker through, getting himself knocked by it and then killed soon after.

However the Combat so far in Gears of War is good fun. The Cover system, which I thought was silly hype hearing from reviews, is actually very good.

troll?

single player of TF2 is Half life 2, which you get eps 1 and 2 to go along as well. It's much longer than cod4's sp.

Multiplayer, TF2 wins. 5 maps, but also 9 classes.
CUSTOM MAPS. = longer time spent playing over MP of CoD4

It will get really boring soon enought. Same shit over and over again + shitty levels.
But the last part is really good.
>I haven't had any slowdown or any bugs so far ( Then again I have a PC that can run Crysis on High with 60fps)
Well i have almost the same pc (45-55 fps), but it gets really slow sometimes.
Also i got some bugs in AI at the end of the game. Not fatal thought.
Not the best choice to buy.

Also The Witcher - Fucking beautiful. Think KotOR meets NWN meets oblivion. Although not as open as oblivion ( I has vast open areas, but seperated by acts) It has a long fufulling story which changes depending on your actions.

And the best thing is, Its not Select: [SUPER GOOD OPTION] [REALLY BAD OPTION]. Its all more in the gray area which effects the outcome of your game, which really calls for you to replay it to try new class builds and see new quests/characters etc.

The box says 80+ hours, It can run you longer than that on the higher difficulty's and if you spend time reading all the lore books in game and finding alchemy recipes.

Really, The Witcher is very good. If you like RPG's at all its a must buy.

I also forgot to mention Overlord is a pretty long game as well. I've been playing it for 2 days now and im not even half way through yet. Upgrading your tower, your armor and weapon, your imps, and attacking villages and pillaging for loot and monies.

Good game, overlord. I think its even on Steam as well. I bought mine from circuit city.

lol no. HL2 as a whole does not = TF2's single player.

Also. All the custom maps so far for TF2 have been horrible. And CoD4 has several game modes ( Like TDM and Bomb defuse and etc) Ontop of you have differnt version of those as well ( Hardcore, which 1 or 2 shots will kill you, No UI what so ever) and Classic ( You pick up weapons on the map and don't use perks).

CoD4 has alot more variety when it comes to gameplay that TF2 doesn't. And poor Custom maps that are always waaaaaaay too hueg aren't helping TF2 any.
