Well, I don't really want to get 2 shooters this year since I mainly want to focus on one. I plan on picking up Bioshock anytime I get the chance but that is only an offline Single Player shooter. I also want a an Online shooter. And something I can play for hours without bordem like CoD4.

Multiplayer -

Socom - My brother already has it, and it would be pretty cool to play with him and his PSN friends. I have nothing wrong with socom, and I really want the headset. But I also really want Resistance 2, A game that he's on the edge about getting. He doesn't really find Resistance interesting, although he's quite hyped about Killzone 2 next year [and so am I].

Resistance 2 - I like the fact there are 2 campaigns and the Online component seems to be going for some serious lasting appeal. It's definatly something I want more than Socom, but I also really want the PS Headset since my Jabra is pretty much crap... 40$ crap that came with a busted charger to be exact.... [i've been using a usb cord to charge it...]. Played Bioshock Demo, CoD4 and Socom today at my bro's and got to use the headset for CoD4, and am still wondering should I go with Resistance for an awesome game, or Socom for a good game with an Awesome headset.

SO which one???

And just for the heck of it...

Single Player -

Bioshock - Love the atmosphere, the dark theme. The fact that it's more than just guns [the whole lightning and fire hand thing was sick]. And all of the reviews i've read tell me that this game has one hell of a story, and I love an awesome story. However am really wondering if I'll get enough play hours for my money.....

Far Cry 2 - Yes, I've said that I don't merit a purchase for this game in a thread yesterday, but hey, I just wanna make sure I get the best games possible..... From what I understand this game has alot of depth in the way you can play it and carry out missions. It's alot like a sandbox shooter which caught my interest. And I can get alot of play hours from it. But I don't know of I can get the mechanics or story in this game that's on the same level as Bioshock.

So what do you think??

Am just asking for some different opinions on these 4 games. Thanks.

SOCOM is meant to be horrible and seriously bugged.

Resistance 2 is a much better choice- the graphics have been updated, the story has been improved, there are two seperate campaigns, you can play co-op with two people on the same system AND another 6 online, 60 player competitive battles, it really doesn't get much better than this. Insomniac isnow used to the PS3, as we've seen from Tools of Destruction, so this is guaranteed to be awesome.

BioShock has incredible reviews, but from what I have heard, you either love it or hate it. I recommend trying out the demo on PSN (which I personally loved).

Far Cry 2 looks kind of mediocre to me. It's not a bad game, but for me, it doesn't have the appeal of Res 2 or BioShock.

So try the BioShock demo, if you like it, consider buying it, if not, get Resistance 2.
