I'm going to hold off on it and see what other people think etc. etc. Also probably only going to be able to buy one game next week and that game simply has to be The Orange Box.

Buy the Orange Box. It contains Portal which is the best game of the year so far. Team Fortress 2 is also the best multiplayer FPS I've played (ie its the first one I've ever actually enjoyed enough to play consistently for more than a week), and thats before you even count Half Life 2.

Of course those other games are looking great too so in an ideal world you'd pick them all up, but right now you really can't go wrong with Orange Box.

I will definately be getting Assassins Creed, and Half Life and Kane and Lynch I will be bankrupt for Christmas but it will be worth it.

No decision. The Orange Box is the only choice here.

You havent played HL2? I'm playing through it for the first time myself (long story).

It absolutely brilliant. Portal is the game of the year for me (though its kinda a first person puzzle game and might not be to everyone's taste). HL2 is absolutely fantastic though and still beats the crap out of every other FPS game I've seen before or since. Seriously, there is no decision to be made here. 5 brilliant games for the price of one...

Back on topic: I havent heard anything about Creed except that Penny-Arcade.com seem to think its going to rock hardcore and I'll buy anything they recommend off the bat.

Looks like bad news for people expecting this next week. According to some reports it's been delayed in Europe until 2008

maybe it'll be out in the US this year and you could import


Back on topic:
Creed looks awesome. I'll probably have to wait until later in the year to think about getting it though. Already have COD4 on the way, Warhawk at the moment and Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii. Looking at haze as well. Then there's Super Mario Galaxy and Uncharted. Too many games, too little time

i know what you mean ...too many games ...so many decisions ...so little money .... don't know what to do
although call of duty 4 is very good bought it today

LookingFor

I want this game to be really good, but gonna wait for reviews on it. 1up seems to think it's going to divide opinion strongly.
