BF: Bad Company 3 possibly?

[SethMode]

So, I'm almost done with Hitman: Blood Money. What of my backlog should I play next? Having trouble deciding.

The rest of Transformers: War for Cybertron (I think I was like 3 chapters in that kind of boring shooter/bad story so far -- this will probably be the hardest sell for me)?
Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts?
Far Cry 2?
Bulletstorm?

I keep starting and stopping Alan Wake, and after replaying Deus Ex The Human Revolution and getting through Hitman, I need a game to relax a little bit with, so I want to play one of those four before committing to Wake again.

I await suggestions, and please, let's give a little reasoning behind it.

(P.S. - should I say fuck it to all of those and get Vanquish?)

Bulletstorm - extremely polished FPS that has a great B-level story and adds enough things to not feel like just another FPS. Plus you can beat it fairly quickly (8-10 hours for me)

Dead Space 3 gameplay on GTTV tonight at 1am EST on SPIKE.

really hooked on Kingdom of Amular. fucking sweet game. the combat is so badass. a very fable looking game, very colorful and vibrant. I was playing with the keyboard and mouse, but just switched to the 360 controller because the combat was to cumbersome on the kb...the drawback to using the controller is u get these wonky camera angles that make things hard to see. it didnt do that when i was using the mouse for the camera

great game though....thanks for mentioning it the other day seth

I'm really glad that you're liking it Maynard. I always worry when recommending games to people because I don't want them to be disappointed, and I think that I irrationally loved that game in a lot of ways. I want to go back and play it again, but there are aspects that I just don't like as much that I just feel like I can't yet. If only the story writers and combat designers of Amalur could get together with the dudes at Bethesda....or rather, if only Big Huge hadn't been sunk by 38.

I started playing Metro 2033 on PC. Looks like a good game so far (got to chapter three). Playing with my PS3 controller as well.

Already thanked but as I began, great call. Forgot that People Can Fly did this game. Love it already. Painkiller is one of my favorite PC shooters, so I think that this games insanely obnoxious story and weapons will suit nicely. Also, the lead character being voiced by Oghren from Dragon Age makes it more awesome.

Keep me posted Pad...I started it, and then literally got trapped in a section well into the game with no saves because I ran out of air. It soured a game I otherwise wanted to (and still want to) play through.

Metro 2033 had the potential to be great. Hopefully the sequel fixes some of its problems, but it was one of the better environments created for a game. I know the ending had me anticipating a sequel.

Alright, after taking a few days off to do some studying, I think it's time to hop back into Rome and play some more AC: Brotherhood.

[IamMedellin]

Im actually very interested in this game now, much like the films Spider-man 2 the game was Awesome while Spider-man 3 was awful, hoping this revamp lives up to it's promise..

just hope they include classic Spidey skins, cuz I fukin hate that new suit

[Golden Taters]

The old suit was way better.

[Bomberooski]

VERY interested in that Spiderman game after seeing that video Med
