PORTAL 2

The highly anticipated sequel to 2007's Game of the Year, Portal 2 is a hilariously mind-bending adventure that challenges you to use wits over weaponry in a funhouse of diabolical science. Using a highly experimental portal device, you’ll once again face off against a lethally inventive, power-mad A.I. named GLaDOS. And this time you won’t be alone. Meet an expanded cast of characters as you think your way through dangerous, never-before-seen areas of Aperture Laboratories. Break the laws of spatial physics in ways you never thought possible, with a wider variety of portal puzzles and an expansive story that spans a single player and co-operative game mode.

    I'm definitely going to get Portal 2 then Mortal Kombat and mostly likely SOCOM4 later.
    Portal 2 is tops because it's the most unique of the three. As much as I like fighting games and third person shooters, I personally need more variety in my collection and Portal 2 seems to deliver in spades.

    I got Portal 2. Surprising it is pretty fun and makes you feel proud to beat some of these puzzles. Especially on Co-Op!

    If I had a PS3 I would have also (and maybe in stead) gotten Socom 4. Socom 2 gave me hours of fun kick butt times with my old DSM Clan.

    I'm not a big fan of MK but I think that's because when the 3D garbage came out it killed it for me. I prolly would like this MK better since it is only 2D... Maybe I check it out sometime.

    Do people still play the Wii?

    I think out of these choices I would buy Socom 4 and Conduit 2.

    Socom, because I have always loved those games, the third person perspective is a nice change from fps, and I am looking forward to using the sharpshooter.

    Conduit 2, because of splitscreen co-op and I need to add to my collection of 5 Wii games.

    Portal 2. I was disapoointed at first because of the length but after playing co-op with a buddy I'm more than pleased I bought it.
