Can't say I've ever played a 3rd person shooter as I prefer 1st person ones myself. Also, I don't have an HDTV nor an XBox, so I can't say I have much experience with them since there aren't many for PC. However, I have heard good things about it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. You may want to rent Dead Space (?) as that's new + 3rd person as well iirc.

My video card recently burned out and I've bought 9800GT for a really bargain price ($105) and together with it, they gave me Crysis. Actually, it is a very decent game based on an hour experience I played it. And I'm not a big fan of shooters, however, Crysis is indeed very different and very-very enjoyable.

Akots, you should try S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (1st one, not the prequel). Mixes RPG and shooter in a alternative history version of Chernobyl. Weather effects are amazing and the AI is pretty good. Nothing like defending against a heavy assault at midnight during a driving rain/lightning storm.
It is very hard, though, so don't be afraid to set it to easy if you pick it up (should be less than $20 now). It was made by a Ukrainian developer, so you can play in your native language. |

I know Stalker, I've read all the books and the movie is one of my favorites. However, I dislike the general idea and even though I greatly enjoyed Witcher (alas, this game is quite short), I don't think I'll like Stalker based on what I read and saw.

Well, you can sleep less. It is hard in the beginning but after some time, you might get used to it. Some people never do though, it is individually based. I usually try to limit wasting time on sleep to 4-5 hours maximum but would welcome a break at least once a week. And it helps to stop watching the TV.
