I'm a little tight on money now, so I was wondering whether or not I should purchase Black Ops. I just used half of what I have to preorder Uncharted 3. And, well, I'm kinda an Uncharted Fan if you couldn't tell by my profile pic....

So my question is should I purchase Black Ops? If there is some 50 percent deal out there that would be appreciated...Or should I purchase some other game thats pretty cheap now?

Any suggestions would be helpful and greatly appreciated :)

Depends, do you like Call of Duty? Do you like online shooters? I do, so this is an easy recommendation from me. The question is do you? You will get a lot of value out of it and it will keep you busy for quite sometime, or you will end up trading it in a week later.

I would suggest you stay far away from the PS3 version of Black Ops...trust me, it's a mess. Here are some links for you to check out that will help you decide whether this game is right for you:
