Help me choose a 360 game.
I've got a $10 Rewards certificate to spend at Best Buy and they have a good number of games on sale.
I'm stuck between the following:
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood @ $35
Fallout 3: Game of the Year @ $40 [I've beaten the game once, but played no DLC]
Fallout: New Vegas @ $35
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 GOLD Edition @ $30 [I own Black Ops and am a bit burnt out on it; is BC 2 worth the purchase at all?]
GTA IV: Complete Collection @ $30 [I've beaten the main GTA IV story, but played no DLC]
I'm really stuck between ACB and Fallout 3 GOTY. I loved AC2 but beat it in around 10 hours and nearly 100%ed it. I'm worrited ACB will be the same way. Is it really as good as the hype says and is the multiplayer worth it?

I quite like Battlefield Bad Company 2. The new Ultimate Edition includes new game modes and 1943, which make it a good value. Unfortunately, it doesn't include the new Vietnam expansion pack that I hear is great.
If you've already played GTA IV, there's no reason to get GTA IV Complete, just buy Episodes from Liberty City which is a stand-alone disc with both DLC packs. If you have a computer that can run it, you could get it for $7.50 at Amazon for direct download right now.

The prices on AC games drop so quickly, I'm waiting for it to hit the $25 range.
I really enjoyed Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The single player is pretty similar to a COD game. It's a fun campaign. I've gone through it a couple times. The multiplayer is very different. The maps are huge and the objectives require strategy and teamwork to win. Comparing it to COD is like apples and oranges.
I think the version that's on sale at BestBuy is the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition. It comes with Battlefield 1943 which has been my favorite BF game. I'm not sure how many people are still playing it. But those maps were so much fun.

Re: Help me choose a 360 game.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 is worth every penny. Pick it up.
I finally picked up Fallout 3 GOTY for $20.00 from the Amazon deal a couple of weeks ago and have fallen in love with Fallout all over again. I finished the original game months ago and was waiting to play the expanded missions. Fallout 3 GOTY is a must buy however there have been a lot of deals lately for no more than $20.00. I would wait for the next deal.
Splinter Cell Conviction is $9.99 at Best Buy..online or in-store. Same with Prince Of Persia Forgotten Sands.

Is the extra content on the BFBC2 Gold disc all download codes? I actually already own BF1943 and if it's a code, I could likely sell it.

If you want single player action, I'd go with Fallout New Vegas at that price and then pick up F3 GOTY edition when the price drops down to $30.
For multi-player, BF BC2 is great as well.

Re: Help me choose a 360 game.
I could have picked it up earlier today but I already have GTA 4 and figure I can pick up Episodes From Liberty City in the future for about $10.00.

Re: Help me choose a 360 game.
Ok...I gave in to my wants and desires yesterday. I happened to be next door to my local K-mart at the Anderson Towne Center returning some shirts at Macy's. I went inside to check for any copies of GTA4 Complete with Liberty City Episodes and they had one left so I went ahead and picked it up. So much to play and so little time to play them all. Oh well....eventually I will get around to it.
