    Default Help me choose a game to play

    I have a vast library of PC games. I have played many but have finished few. I am in the mood for a good action game, but nothing too complicated or overly difficult. I've started up Bulletstorm, but have a feeling I'll plow through that without much issue. I like Max Payne 3 but I keep having an issue where it loses my save game, even after a reinstall, deleting the profile folder, etc. I play for a while, exit then come back later and have to start from the beginning again, very annoying. So I'll avoid that until it gets fixed, hopefully it does.

    Action games I really enjoyed that I have finished (in no particular order) in recent years: Half-Life 2 and episodes, Bioshock, CoD 1 & 2 campaigns, Crysis, Crysis Warhead (can't really get into Crysis 2 much), Doom 3, BF3 campaign, Portal/Portal 2...

    In any case which of the following would you recommend I play next?

    Alan Wake
    Batman: Arkham Asylum
    BioShock 2
    Dead Island
    Dead Space / Dead Space 2
    Deus Ex Human Revolution
    FEAR 2 / FEAR 3
    Medal of Honor
    Metro 2033
    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
    Saints Row The Third

    While I'm open to other suggestions, I'd rather keep it to my current game library.

    Thanks!

    I bought the batman franchise during the steam summer sale.

    Hands down get started with batman arkham asylum! I can't wait to finish this to get going with arkham city lol. I'm about 20% through and it has been a great fun experience. My first real game on this laptop :-)

    Since everything you listed is an fps, change it up and go for Batman: AA. Great game. Dead Space is another I would recommend. I played through that twice in order to get all the upgrades.

    agree with Batman: AA. If you havent play it, you really are missing out on a great game.

    Voted Batman. Arkham series are really well made, had a lot of fun playing it.
    Otherwise Deus Ex HR or Alan Wake.

    I voted Alan Wake, but all of them are great games, except Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, which is console garbage.

    I can highly recommend both Alan Wake and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
    Saints Row: The Third also offers drop in coop too.
