I haven't played WAR in ages and don't see any reason to log in until 1.3 launches. Once it does, I still don't see it holding my attention for long, so I've pretty much resigned to choosing a new primary MMO. The trouble is, I have no interest in any of the current MMOs. I am interested in a few upcoming titles, but they're still months away from release. This leaves me in a position where I'm looking for a hold-me over game.Here are the options I'm considering and I was hoping for your input:
- Team Fortress 2 - Lots of new updates lately and I know several other people playing. I find the game fun in short bursts (like 1-1.5 hour sessions) but that's about it. Chances are I will lightly play this game regardless.
- Guild Wars - I can get this game pretty cheaply on Steam right now ($20) and a friend has assured me the random 4v4 matches are pretty entertaining. My only issue is that I can't take it much beyond that since I don't have an active 8-person guild. Also, I haven't heard anything too special about the "story mode" campaign.
- Mass Effect - I have never played this game. Shameful, right?! My only issue is that it's not an MMO but that said, I don't really have any other MMOs to divert my attention, so maybe I can handle the 1-player mode from start to finish. Every respectable gamer should play this game, right?
- BioShock - Since I'm considering Mass Effect, I may as well consider this game too right? If you could only pick one, which would you choose? If you could play both, which would you play first? Both games are $20 on Steam right now. How long will it take to complete each one?
