I'm going to the mall on friday the 23. And want to know which game to buy someone.

Urg.... You did it, didn't you... You placed UT2004 and Quake on the same list...

I'd pick on of those two (Leaning towards Quake)

It's close between FEAR and Quake if you ask me, but FEAR is overall a bit of a better game. x_x

I have only played 1 game on that list and that is Unreal Tournament 2004, brilliant game. I have always wanted to play F.E.A.R, that looks awesome but you need one hell of a computer to run it properly.
So if you're going for F.E.A.R, make sure your pc meets the requirements.

So what did you get?

Although it's past the 23rd, I would have gotten UT04. But since (I think) there's 2005 out, I would search for that. More people are online.

BTW, I'm also one of the best FPS players in the world. Since it's A LOT more populated on it, I'm in the top 200 or something. It keep's changing everyday.

Quake IV looks too mutch like it is trying to play catch up with Doom 3, looks like it was built right from the eingin, or better yet looks like they took the direct coading for Doom 3 and just slapped in some of their own guns and monsters in it and thought no one would notice because how bad Doom 3 was. Unreal is a good Multi player game with lots of action, I would go for that is that is what you are looking for. Haven't heard mutch about Prey, so I can't give my opinion on it. But FEAR is by far the best FPS for the PC this year. Great feel to it, really keeps you on your toes with the whole
"creapy" factor to it. Graphics are fantastic too (wich is always a plus)! All out great game 5/5 to it from me ^^

Quake IV uses the same engine as Doom 3 (which is a fantastic game btw! <_<) and it worked out very well actually, played it at a friend's house two days ago.
