Heroes 4 is new. :p
 
I'd say it (or 3, but I like 4 better) and Worms Armageddon. Then some third choice, which I don't know, as those are the only games I've played from the list (or actually, I've played both heroes, but I doubt you're going to buy both :p).

I have not played the HMM games, but they are supposed to be really good. (from the reviews, at least) I guess worms, one of the Heroes and Thief II might be a good idea then.

I'd take thief2 coz I have the first one and it's still my favourite FPS ( tho FPS in that case is such a low appelation :-/ ), then severance coz I liked Die By the Sword and severance is the game that comes closer to it. But yeah, Worms armageddon is a great choice.
otherwise, well, if you like the HMM series, the only real question is: do you have free time to play them through? :p
Hidden and Dangerous never interested me for some reason, so I can't judge it.

WORMS! Even if it's just for the Concrete donkey!

BTW, what is this store, 'cos in GAME (don't know if you have it in Ireland) it's nearly always 3 for £10 on the £5 budget range.

Thief, Thief2 and Wormz.

You must have Thief and Thief2. They are Warren Spector games.  You must support Warren Spector. Warren Spector is the one true gaming god. Warren Spector will save us all. We will all bow our heads now and give thanks for Saint Spector.

:D

The man is my hero. :)

Worms Armageddon had a slight problem in that as you progress through the deathmatch ranking, you got given more and more super weapons, until it got to the stage where you had only two worms, but you could just hide them and proceede to rain carpet bombs and the French Sheep Strike down upon your foes... World Party fixed that, thus upping the challenge several hundred percent.

*doesn't care that WWP isn't in Meg's list* :p

i'm not familiar with Worms armageddon secret weapons, but i think the French sheep strike is similar to the sheep strike :D

you know, the ones that flew from the sky, hit, exploded, bounced again, hit, exploded, etc. etc. etc. :D

Yah, whilst the French national anthem played. French Sheep Strike, see?



Probably cos they couldn't make a realistic French Truck Driver's Strike...

He's my only hope. Wait, there's another hope too, but that one seems to be a little low on budget.
