What to Buy? Christmas '08

So many games out now and I've put off buying because of college. But I'll be finished soon. So what'd you recommend? Maybe pick four out of the following:

Fallout 3
Tomb Raider Underworld
COD 5
Tom Clancy's End War
Little Big Planet
FarCry 2
Resistance 2

Actually quite enjoyed tomb raider, if you like TR games its great however it has 2 downfalls, no real boss fights it is quite short compared to the others, i got friday and finished sunday, put about 10 hours into it. I'd suggest a rent.

first ever tomb raider was the best imo, 16 huge levels

Dead Space is brilliant but pretty short. It's a week rental I think.

Fallout 3 and LBP definately.

Deadspace is the only worthwhile game out at the moment. After a year of hopeless, over hyped turkeys (Haze, Turok, Far Cry2), Deadspace has renewed my faith in the ps3 as a games console. Put it another way, its the only game since Uncharted and COD4, that has me glued to the tv playing it until the wee small hours. Excellent gameplay, brilliant graphics, intense action, and the fear factor that something nasty is waiting for you around the next corner................ thats if its NOT ALREADY BEHIND YOU :eek:

Oh and I have COD world at war and its not a patch on COD4.

If you like racing games, give Motorstorm 2 a go. There's a demo on the PSN.

From the games you've outlined, Fallout 3 and LittleBigPlanet are the only must-have games there.

The new tomb raider is far from dreadful.

I've been dying for a game like Uncharted to come out to break the shoot em up boredom. Is Tomb Raider similar as its getting mixed reviews at best?

These are the 4 i'd go for aswell, already have COD5 and it's well worth the purchase, the rest I anticipate buying for Christmas.
