WHAT GAME SHOULD I BUY? Episode 3: Revenge of the Nerds

quote Drummaboy

How's Borderlands? It seems pretty cool, but I'd rather make sure it's good before I buy it.

quote Shinobi_razor

since youve got Monkey Island 1, might as well get MI2, unless you just hated it (impossible!). Monkey Island is one of the best game series of all time. i can not wait to see if they bring Monkey Island 3 to XBLA which i think is probably the best game in the series.

and if you like those, there is also the Sam & Max games which are very close to the same thing, only a different setting.

a few other things you might like:
Megaman 9 (since you have 10)
Geometry Wars 2 (since you have 1)
Shadow Complex (great action/adventure game. its a 2.5D side scroller, meaning gameplay is 2D but you can interact with things in the back and foregrounds)
Marvel vs Capcom 2 (required if you like fighting games. for some reason it doesnt have a high enough Meta score to be on my list but its an almost perfect port of the 10 year old classic)
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix (also a good choice if you like fighters)
Worms 2 Armageddon (great turn based action game where you control little worms and get to use awesome weapons on each other. DO NOT buy regular Worms, W2A is 100x better)
Portal Still Alive (awesome first person puzzle game. is a part of Orange Box, so if you have that no need to get this, but if not i recommend it)
TMNT 1989/Turtles in Time Re-shelled (while i cannot personally recommend Turtles in Time because of my personal hatred of how they changed the original version, both are essentially good 4 player pick-up-and-play games)
Trials HD (its not my cup of tea, but if you like racing or motorcycle tricks and things, youd probably love this game)

I already had Sam&Max and Worms 2 on PC

I might buy Shadow Complex and Portal: Still Alive (i have The Orange Box, and Portal is awesome).
I suck at megaman and Geometry Wars so i will not buy another game till i get better at them
Im not much of fightning games, since i only have 1 remote so SSF2THDR, MVsC and TMNT is not for me
I already tried Trials HD games-like on flash and it's not my game-type
I'll buy Monkey Island 2, but i'll only buy it after i pass the first one, i bought the 1st yesterday

If someone has more suggestions, i still have 1600points to spend
