 JC> Yeah thats true, but I thought Doom3 went a long way to add a bit of

Monsters! Killed everyone... Go kill em soldier!
(OK, I'm over complicating the story a bit, everyone was already dead when you
get there)


Compared to Doom 2, it was an improvement.

 AO>> FYI, in case you missed it, John Carmack and the gang released a

 AO>> but it is four letters. Game wasn't that bad either.

 JC> Ahh I saw that I didn't realize who did it though.  I think it had a
 JC> killer sale around XMAS on Steam or something and I didn't pick it up.

 AO>> Also, Don't miss Bioshock Infinite. Fun gameplay, kind of a headtrip
 AO>> story, good ending.

 JC> I still haven't played BioShock 2 but the first one was pretty awesome
 JC> (also didn't finish that one).  Total change in the setting in this one
 JC> good to hear it doesn't take away from the franchise.

You can skip Bioshock 2, wasn't even done by the original studio as I recall.
Infinite is... "Infiniately" (groan) better.

Another game you should look at (Guarantee you missed yet) is Spec Ops: The
Line. Came out in 2012, was easily my GOTY mainly for the story, dealt with
PTSDs and was a great story. Way underrated.

If more action is your cup of tea, Borderlands 2.
