Help me decide on a new game.

So today after work, I'm going to GS to pick up Brutäl Legand and I still have about $26 left on my edge card.
So my question is, what do I get?

Uncharted 2 would be fun, and I enjoyed 1, bug I'm not big on multiplayer

Way of the Samurai 3 is another choice, but I still need to play through 2 several dozen more times.

Aion looks good and I'm tired of CoX, and I'm not usually one for Fantasy MMOs, but it's different enough.

So, for reference I have all 3 systems and a decent gaming PC.
And as much az I would love to go to TRU, this was all trade in credit so that's a null idea.

Help me PA, you're my only hope.

    considering it's been lauded as having the best single-player campaign ever, i wouldn't worry too much about the multiplayer

    you should get uncharted 2. if youre not going to get uncharted 2 you should get ratchet and clank 2 in a couple weeks. but you should definitely get uncharted 2.

    Brutal Legend did just come out, and Tim Schafer needs to buy drugs and metal on vinyl somehow.

    Love, did you miss that very first sentence in my OP?
    BL is a given, just looking for a companion piece for it.

    If I had a PS3 I'd be buying both Uncharted games. but as I do not, I will just play more Titan Quest.

    Uncharted 2 sounds awesome though.

    Sounds like the time I went to Denny's and got their hashbrown burger.
    With a side of hashbrowns.

    But I guess it's looking like Uncharted.

    I've been playing a lot of Risen lately, if you're into that sort of brutal, European RPG experience.

    edit: if you don't live in the US then do NOT get the 360 version (the 360 version isn't out in America yet but the PC version is), it is ass. Instead, get the PC version which is great.

    Demon's Souls, if you REALLY want a brutal, yet rewarding, RPG experience.

    Get Uncharted 2 first though. Even if you're not into multiplayer, you should be somewhat inclined to at least TRY the co-op. It's very similar to the single-player, just with other humans rather than retarded AI partners :mrgreen: The Single Player Story in Uncharted 2 is epic, and worthy of at least a couple of play-throughs.

    well, since Uncharted 2 has already been mentioned about a billion times, I'm gonna say...Demon's Souls. I've been playing it nonstop since it came out last week and it's awesome.

    Also, Borderlands comes out next week (or the week after, for PC) so there's always that. I think that looks like it will be a lot of fun.

    I too have been playing Demon's Souls since last Tuesday (it's the type of game they don't make any more), but Uncharted 2 dropped today, and it's as spectacular as its Metacritic would imply.

    Do you have a Wii?

    A Boy and His Blob. The amount of "D'AWWWWWWWW" will combine with Brutal Legend's metal and create a singularity, imploding the world into your living room.

    Or just be awesome...

    I have good news for you, friend! Aion isn't very unique at all, and blends into the MMOG crowd quite well. There's nothing special about it that should sell you on the game, unless you are expressly looking for a new fantasy MMO.

    Forza 3 is coming out in a couple weeks; get that.

    "But but but I don't like racing sims!"

    Hey, I didn't like racing sims either, until I got Forza 2, and now I love them. So there's that. It's easy to pick up and has endless depth.

    I hear it was outsourced to another company or something and they did a real shoddy job graphics-wise. I mean, it looks really, really bad. I am too lazy but go search google, you can find side-by-side comparisons of the PC version to the 360 version. I hear it plays just fine so if you were to buy it you could still enjoy it, it just doesn't look nearly as good.

    Yeah, you're right on that one. The xbox 360 version has more bloom and less detail.
