I played the demo and it did absoloutely nothing for me.

Might be really good, but I find WW2 shooters a bit rubbish really.

It is none of the ones you are looking at but I recommend "Call of Duty" it is due out at the end of october or early november. Well worth a look. If you have never heard if it it is a World War 2 FPS.

Half Life 2, and maybe Max Payne 2 too.

Both look incredible.

As does Doom III.

Halos alright, and the Breed demo was pretty pap.

Halflife II will be a worthy investment, but it's a long wait...

Recommended if you want a game to play now. It's the only one of the four currently available, and a nice little FPS in it's own right.

Will be my second choice. Looks like a creepy, but decent FPS, on top of my list anyway. I think the release is early 2004 unless Id move it forward.

> Half Life 2 ( late 2003)

Definatly worth getting, but your going to have to wait until April until it's release seeing as it's just been delayed 6 months.

> Breed ( not sure)

Unless some serious changes are made to this game before it's release, don't bother. Demo was crap despite showing promise as a decent FPS. I'd put that at the bottom of the pile if I where you.

I hated the Breed demo, just another generic "shoot aliens" thing.
No idea about the others, sorry.

Would recommend Vietcong though if you haven't already.
