Which game did people think was best out of Far Cry, Doom 3 and Medal of
Honor: Pacific Assault?  It's mainly the single player games that I'm
interested in.

   By most accounts, PA is the worst of the three.  I wouldn't choose
between D3 and FC, as they are both very satisfying in complementary ways.
FC is certainly longer and has more freedom of movement, so that might be a
first choice, but don't deny yourself the D3 experience, just save it for
when you have time.

   Don't play these on anything less than a 6800/X800 class videocard btw
(and a 3+ghz class machine), the day of the 9700pro/fx5800 is over as far as
I'm concerned.

Unreal 2 was so poor I couldn't believe it. You must joking when you
recommend that? I had to force myself to play it through.

   Actually, I quite enjoyed it.  It was lacking in various departments,
but the plot was very good, and involved me enough that the ending evoked an
emotional response.  Unreal2 is not a throwaway or B-title.

After the first few minutes I hated it. Maybe I got too used to the fast pace of
UT.

Then after about 2 months I gave it another try and DAMN it's good!!! Nice
storyline and technology. I liked the electric fence and spider weapon to
mention a few. Since that day I played almost everyday until I finished it -
which took me about 2 weeks and a bit. Doom 3 took me 1 and a bit weeks.

Doom 3 is playable but most of the time it's just cheap scares. I don't like the
idea of making pickup sound alerts sound like a %&$?Ging monster creeping behind
you. First few times I picked up the armour I panicked after hearing the hissing
sound :/

Far Cry is the best of the three.

Awwww, don't be such a fanatic :-) My friend had waited
HL2 as eagerly as everyone else and was quite disappointed
after buying it and completing it in FOUR DAYS. He already
tried to sell it to me, but 1) Steam sucks, 2) I don't have DVD-
drive, 3) He didn't sell it under 35 euros and 4) I think Steam
sucks.

Load times are VERY, VERY, LONG...up to THREE MINUTES for some missions and
there is no such thing as QUICK LOAD.

Naahh, I'll wait for Brothers in Arms that will wipe the

Doom3 is sick. Too much killing. Too much drawing blood.
I'm truly sicked and tired of violent computer game.
Doom3 has too much blood and too much violent.

Why they have to upgrade another level of violence?
I'm sicked of Doom3. My friends installed that game and I uninstalled
right away. Doom3 is truly stupid and really dumbass game.
I'm socked of doom3 crap. It has no fun. It's just another mind blowing
same old in your face bloody game.

Hmm, I guess somebody hasn't been witness to a live birth before.

(the language in Doom3 is much cleaner though, that should count for
something).
