Need Some Video Game Advice

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

I'm not a big gamer, but I'm looking for some games to get for the summer.

First of all, what's the best FIFA game I can get? I'm a FIFA fan, but I don't need the newest version just for an updated roster or something. So which year had the best gameplay, best features, best manager/player mode or whatever they call it?

Does anyone know anything about Formula 1 video games? I had one from 2006 for the PSP and I really liked it, but I would like a newer version, if there are any. I think they come out yearly, but I know nothing about the games. Can anyone tell me about them?

One last thing, what games can you recommend to me? I like sports games, racing games, and I guess adventure games (but not straight RP with a single storyline, more like Skyrim).

Thank you, Nerdvana. Maybe I will become a regular in here soon enough with your help.

anyways for ps3 i would check out the god of war series, they're great action/adventure games. might not be what you're looking for because it is a linear story mode.

i'd avoid uncharted 3 (can't speak on uncharted 1/2) if you dislike linear story modes, game is horrendous and feels like you're watching a movie. everything is practically played for you.

the assassin's creed series sounds like something you might enjoy.

if you're in to survival/horror you should definitely check out deadspace 1 and 2. both are amazing.

not much of a racing fan myself so i can't help you there.

the only sports games i play are madden and nba 2k. madden is madden, it has its problems but can still be fun play against friends. the nba 2k series is improving and i feel as if they're close to nailing the gameplay but as of right now it is a bit glitchy and fake.

edit: how could i forget mass effect. haven't played 3 but 1 and 2 were both great.

if you like adventure games you really can't beat the uncharted series...

haven't played 3 but 1 and 2 are great.

also, Mass Effect games are pretty good.

EDIT: lol ^

You can find cheap copies of Fifa 12 and F1 2011 from Codemasters. If you really like F1, F1 2011 is solid. If you want a racer you can more easily jump into anything in the Forza or Gran Turismo series would be solid.

The NBA 2K series is always good, you should be able to find cheap copies of 2K12 now and I highly recommend that.

You can have the last Diablo 3 guest pass I own if you want to try that. It is for PC though.

Ahh yes, I forgot to specify that this is all for PS3.

Try the Fallout series. Fallout New Vegas is awesome and has multiple story lines.

Fallout 3 with all the DLC and Fallout New Vegas with its DLC should last you a good bit.

Fallout 3 with all the DLC and Fallout New Vegas with its DLC should last you a good bit.

this.

You could easily get 60+ hours out of both games together if you rush and 100+ if you like to tinker with all things that can be tinkered with and do all the side missions. If RPG/Shooter blend appeal to you, its the best bet for the best game at best price (pretty sure you can buy Fallout3 CE (with all DLC) and Fallout NV CE (with all DLC) for 40-50$ total.

Played Red Dead Redemption yet?

[Ivan The Awesome]

If you own a PS3, God of War, Little big planet, Uncharted series, Infamous are all good games. Most of them will be cheap too. Fifa Street is one of my fave games too, might wanna try that out as well.

I think I'm gonna grab Fallout New Vegas next time I get a chance. I'll look more into some of the other games suggested too, so thanks for the suggestions.

I was also sorta interested in Portal 2. Can someone give me a bit of a debriefing on that?
