I was fairly skeptical at first, as its not usually the type of game I'd go for at all, but its actually a masterpiece. Well worth the money.

BAsed on this thread alone I'm going buying batman tomorrow. I'm also a big fan of single player games, in a similar manner to the OP, but also because i'm not a fan of playing online.

Fallout 3

Red Dead Redemption

Star Lord

More votes from me for:

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Dead Space
Alan Wake (Once or twice you've got NPCs with you, but it's still worth it)
Assassins Creed 2
Portal (The Orange Box includes this, but often have NPCs or multiplayer in the other games)

Portal :-S

I'd say try Mass Effect. The npcs with you are actually fairly handy and never in the way, neither are they necessary.
Dead Space,
The Orange Box,
Alan Wake,
Batman:AA.

All well worth it. And I enjoy a good single player experience with good story.

I picked up Singularity last week, the opening of the game is a bit slow but it really picks up an hour or two in.

Alan Wake, play it with the lights off and soak up the atmosphere. Has its flaws but its still a great game.

Yeh, Red dead redemption as said, but more importantly JUST CAUSE 2!! I can't stop playing it, everything else seems so boring in comparison, I mean where else can you jump from a fast moving car which crashes and explodes 2 secs later, escape by parachute and grappling hook from one side of the map to the other. Then there's all the vehicles and proper jets (which is what I miss most from GTA) aswell as grappling hook onto a helicopter, then you've to fight your way inside (more realistic, although physics has it's very slight glitches). Overall I was very impressed!

Playing JC2 at the moment, and while it's enjoyable, there are a few things that annoy me. I don't like the combat system at all at all for a start. The map is too big too, getting from A to B at the start is a pain in the arse. They could really have done something like RDR, where you can buy a map for a specific place, so that you can fast travel there.

Orange Box
Ninga Gaiden 2
Oblivion

i found Mass Effect to be very short. i got through it in no length. oblivion and ninja gaiden are good long games. also if you got ninja gaiden black for original xbox (it works for 360), it took me ages to finish that game but it is easily one of the best games imo.

Onearmedbandit

Red Dead Redemption
GTA IV
Crackdown
Dead Rising
Dead Space
Just Cause 2
Mercenaries 2

Just a few of my favourites all of which have great single player.

Know what ya mean, but I love just messing around with the grappling hook to make it more fun, hanging people from buildings, tie them to a car, tie them together, or stand on the bonnet and grapple as you fly past. So much you can do!

+1 for The Orange Box and +1 for Mirror's Edge.

Portal from The Orange Box is fun but short and I started Mirror's Edge at the weekend and it's a refreshing change. I love the block clean colours.

I can confirm that this game is not available new or used in Galway city. Oh how I have tried to get my hands on a cheap used copy. Would prefer that than having to buy online.

Already had it on PC but picked up used copy in Game on Eglington St for 19.99 last Saturday:D Sorry but i guess that means i got the last copy in Galway.Worth every cent and then some.

Im quite happy to have it for 19.99 with no hassle. Actually consider it a stroke of luck.:cool:

Well at least someone got it in Galway. I started looking a few weeks back after a bargain alert for it in xtravision all over the country for a fiver (used). Checked all shops, but also knew that I could get it delivered new from sendit @ €16. Thats my last resort. I already have / finished it on PC, but my OH would really like to play portal on the XBox360.

Well found though, don't know would I pay more for a used copy when I can get it new for less, but under a tenner, thats the job.
