I'm torn on what to start next after beating the Shadowgrounds series.

I've got:
Uncharted
Heavy Rain
Fable II
Gears of War
Trine
I want to run through Portal again
TF2 and L4D2 are out there...

Any opinions? I'm leaning towards knocking out Uncharted.

Plus, Metro 2033 was just released and it's been a while since I've played a good FPS.

Oh, and if you're interested, C&C 4: Tiberian Twilight came out...the reviews, thus far, are not great.

Oh, and Dragon's Age Origins, the Deluxe Digital Edition (contains Blood Dragon Armor, The Stone Prisoner, Bergen's Horror, Final Reason, Grimoire of the Frozen Wastes, Warden's Keep, "and much more"), is $43.54 on Steam until tomorrow at 4 p.m. EST. The regular edition is $33.49.

Are either worth it or should I keep waiting for that price to drop?

The Gears of War over-the-shoulder view still kills me. They were alright. Was disappointed at the AI in there. Though the game had the nasty tendency to short us on ammo when we really needed it.

EDIT : Tycho at Penny Arcade has been raving about Heavy Rain.

Just finished Dragon Age (from Goozex, so missing the DLC), and it was great. My wife is finishing it now. Only complaint is that it didn't really seem to matter much what choices you made throughout the game, aside from the reactions of your companions.

Fable 2 was fun, but the "story" part of Fable 2 pales in comparison to DA.

I say Heavy Rain because it won't take you that long to get through even with multiple play throughs if you want to see how things change if you kill certain characters and that one will give you the most from a trade in if you do that.

Like I said at the party, you can get all the way through Portal in about 4 hours. It was funny hearing the ending song again, but I don't think the new content was really worth it.

I'm up for games of CoH, DoW2, or SupCom, whenever.

I started Uncharted because the wife wants to play Heavy Rain.
