Okay if those are the games you like. Its hard for me to comment on your collection. We might like completly different types of games. You have some good stuff on your list. The big missing titles are GTA3 and Vice City, not to mention sports titles. I couldn't live without that stuff.

Maryang Palad: the Contra game is called shatterd soldier, not shattered dreams and it is not a FPS, its a 2d side scrolling shooter. If you remember the old Contra games on NES/SNES/Gen, it is like that with a lot better graphics of course. One note about this game, it is extremly hard, most casual gamers hate this game because they cannont get past the first level.

Time Splitters 2 is a FPS, single player isnt great, but it has a real fun multiplayer, plays like goldeneye 64.

I reccomend Devil May Cry since you can get it for $20/30 brand new.

The games I notice missing from that list are Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I do know people who don't enjoy them, but you should at least check them out.
