I have a $40 best buy gift card, and some other extra cash...and I want a new game. I can't decide which one, so that since most of them have been out for a while, I thought I could ask the opinions of those who played them.

Oh, and I do want the game to be moddable. Not being able to mod a game drives me crazy...

UT2003, purely because I'm not the NWN type. You need to think about what you enjoy. All the games you listed are really very good but if you prefer RPGs over FPSs then obviously UT2003 is right out of the window, visa versa as well.

However, UT2003 is great fun, the engine is spectacular and feels a lot smoother than UT did (in my opinion). It's sped up mind you so if you prefered UTs slower pace over Q3s then it might not be to your taste...lots of long livety though, especially if you take it online.

Edit: As for mods, well UT2003 ships with a map editor and theres a lot of things you can do with the engine, a lot of mods are already in development and once again there are smaller mutators and so on that can be created. You won't get bored.

Out of those I would definitely go for UT2003, but I'm a die-hard Unreal fanatic. :p :D As for moddability, the Unreal games have always led the way there, and as Thunder said, this latest one is no exception. :nod:

UT2003 or Neverwinter Nights. Both are A1-SUPAR. :nod:

I don't think I'm gonna go with NWN...I can do RPGing anytime I want, and a comp just can't compare to a real person as a DM/GM.

I'm surprised that more people aren't going for WC3...

UT2k3

Perhaps the best would be to wait a bit.
Unreal 2 is supposed to be finished this month and C&C:Generals are on track for Feb 11.

Just get the Totally Unreal pack, play the old UT and kick some ass with the sniper gun.

Save for generals or buy UT

That or if you want a RTS, then WCIII. Dunno anything about modding RTS though.

I'd suggest a game that's not on the list, but people would start to get annoyed. :p

Hey, how about System Shock 2?

UT2003! No doubt about it.

However, I still prefer the first one. The new sniper rifle is not to my liking at all, nor it the new rocket launcher.

The ragdoll physics rule, though.

Definitely System Shock 2.
