Ok, well basically I'm considering buying a new game soon, but I dont want to waste my money on anything poor. I'm not really up to date in the Xbox games scene... or the gamecube one for that matter, used to read up on everything, all different now though.

The games I currently have are:

Halo
Metal gear Solid 2
Need For Speed Underground
Splinter Cell 2
Soldier of Fortune 2 (this game makes me feel physically ill when I play it... glad I picked it up second hand. I literally cant play for longer than 30 minutes without wanting to spew)
Midtown Madness 3 (ahaha)
Rainbow 6 3
GTA Double pack

Just thought I'd also mention that the only one of these games I've completed is Metal Gear Solid 2, the others simply havent managed to make me play them. I spend an enormous amount of time playing Tactical Ops online and working on Frag-Ops (*cough* [URL]http://www.frag-ops.com[/URL] *cough* Subtle plug..) yet I cant seem to find a game that will stop me doing this. MGS2 did it temporarily, but I completed that a few months ago now.

So, I have two questions to ask really. Firstly, which of these games would you recommend I spend some more time with, and actually play past the first few levels/missions/whatever, and secondly, what game should I buy now? A few weeks ago I thought of buying Manhunt, but changed my mind in the shop and bought SOF2 for about £10, but I want a new game, and the following have my eye:

Red Dead Revolver
Ninja Gaiden

Theres no doubt plenty of topics about both games lying around... least I know there are several for Ninja Gaiden, but has anyone played both and would like to recommend one over the other? I'm open to suggestions though, so if anyone wants to suggest something, I'm all ears.

Cheers.
