Hmmm...saved some cash to buy a couple of new xbox games.

Skyrim is a definite, so happy to wait for that.

For the other I was thinking of the following, but can't decide!

Rage

Deus Ex

Space Marines

Borderlands - GOY edition (old now I know, but like the sound of it...is it a squad game or can u solo?)

Have I missed anything? D3 on PC is a must btw :D

Still trying to complete DA origins sometime, so I reckon ME2 would bore me too.

Is Dark Souls a sort of monster bash, level by level? Sounds it from a review I saw.

hmm might hold on for a bit yet before I decide.

Borderlands is good, very fallout 3 ish, if you're looking for multiplayer though, i'd avoid, its practically dead on the PS3 now, dunno what xbox will be like.

Skyrim yes, but probably best on PC as mods are more freely available, and then yeah, Deus ex or Space marine... down to personal choice as they're both above average games from the sounds of things.

Deus Ex is going cheap at http://getgamesgo.com/

Never used that site, and it's the PC edition but they may help the decision along

I'm really glad I'm so behind the times, by the time I finished Fallout 3 New Vegas should be GOTY edition and cheap :)

I refuse to upgrade my PC every 5 minutes for games, which is why i bought a xbox a few years ago, so xbox only for me. (except minecraft & D3 & old games :D )

Borderlands - do you have to have a team, Ai team or co-op, or can u play it solo? (I want solo)

Dues Ex is tempting....

Borderlands you can play solo or with other real players, if you play solo there aren't any AI players with you. If you do play with someone else, make sure they're the same level as you and not higher ( the mobs will be their level and 1 shot you ).You could probably pick up the GoTY addition for about 13 quid with all the add ons, it is well worth it. Also if you like the loot of Diablo it kind of has that system, only with guns :)

Dead island has peaked my interest, IGN said it was like a fallout zombie game which in theory sounds awesome.

yeah me too, it's good fun. playing through with a couple of other friends atm. just hit level 30.

There's too many games to play, only part way through deus ex too.

I don't know if I should buy dead island, has anyone bought it and can give an opinion on it? Metacritic currently has it at 71 last time I checked.

I also fancy the new Warhammer game having enjoyed the demo.

Console versions are supposed to currently be better/more polished than the PC version is all I've heard, I will be buying it, in around a year when it is �15, at my current rate it'll take me a year to finish Fallout 3 :)

My son is Playing Dead Island at the moment and he is loving it. he says that it has a feel like a cross between Diablo II and Borderlands, obviously thats Diablo in FPS rather than isometric. It has lots of different colour items to collect and you can mod stuff by finding mods - A fire mod turns your baseball bat in to a torch, nails make it more spikey etc. He is bringing it round to show me tomorrow so ill post more when I have had a go.

My mate said he lost 4 hours of play last night on the PS3 version of dead island, but he said if you load off your last checkpoint then save it seems to work. Just a heads up for anyone playing it on that.

Rage is out today & also Dark Souls.

Anyone got Rage? Looks like a good shooter.

Know bugger all about Dark Souls, but it sounds like a boss monster fight thing?
