hi.
Halo2 is not available for PC, so thats out of question for now.

I am guessing you atr talking about unreal tournament 2004.
Its great multiplayer game, ok for single player.

Out of the listed games i will go for HL2, its best of the lot.
But problem is NFSU2 is racing game, different catagory and its also very entertaining game.
If you want the shooter game, go for HL2.

Have you played Chronicles Of Riddick? Its worth consideration if you have powerful PC to handle it.

Hmmmm Lets See Just One Game Kya Yaar???
Anyways Here's The Catch If Its U Wanna Get Too Much Involved In The GamePlay Experience Then Its Definetly Half Life 2 And Its Graphics Counterpart Would Be Doom 3 ......But The Disadvantage For This games would Be That Once U Have Completed all The Levels (God Knows How Long It Takes ) There's No Point in playing The game again Unless U Have a Taste To Go Online and Play The Multiplayer Experience 8)
As For Ut 2004 And Nfs Underground 2 These Are Excellent games if u wanna play them over and Over again......Both On Lan As Well As Single Player
Btw Halo 2 aint out Yet But Seems That Microsoft Has Scheduled a Xbox Release First and Then The Pc Release
Personally My Fav Pic Would Also Be Half Life 2

It just depends on what type of game u would like to play..

NFS U2
HALF-LIFE2
UT 2004

All the three are excellent in their categories. 8)

How about including Farcry in your list

HL2 and UT2k4. They're best fps.
Other good games include: Sid Meier's Pirates! , PoP:Warrior Within, Call of Duty: United offensive,The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth(superb, esp, for fans)

Default Suggestion

I can't give you a suggestion out of the games you listed.But as far as you are talking of NFS-UG2..I'll suggest u to play NFS-UG.Its far better than UG2.
I've played them ( both and till the end ).My experience says UG2 is far more frustrating than UG.They are some of the best games i've played.
If at any moment while playing NFS-UG or UG2 u feel frustrated just go out for a walk.Take some fresh air and come back.U'll fell much better.

That was the tip 2 play UG and UG2 (If u choose them as the 'games to buy')

Gyandarshan from UG GURU.
Any1 else who has finished both the games ?????

man funkymonkey is rite on target

FarCry definately is the best game

even i rate it above HL2

DOOM3 gets really repetitive after a hours play

HL2 is good enough and definately good with great visual delight and physics

so it all comes down to wht ur mood is and wht ur likes are

a person who loves cars wod even prefer NFS UG 2 over anything else in da world

if u really wanna kick a$$ then DOOM3, PAINKILLER are for ya

if u wann something big with good graphics, better gameplay which keeps u thinking all the time then go for HL2

after playing all these games, i still feel FarCry was da best game ever

but HL2 and DOOM3 aint far away

Well If The Budget Gets Too Tight Then Pirated Is a Better Choice all The Time......Btw Hl2's Original Disc's Are of 6 Cd's Which Have The Cs Source Bundled Along With It And U Can Get The Additional Steam Upgrade Choices as Well Like The Multiplayer Options But The Steam Validation Process Sucks Big time and Is a Big Pain In The A$$......So If U wanna Accomodate Everything In Ur Budget Then Pirated Rocksss......Plus There Aint Much Diff In it Compared to The Original Counterparts

First a DISCLAIMER: I Aint Promoting Pirated Stuff Here (No Way Hosae)
But Since U asked I was Just Pointing Out The Merits and Demrits And The Comparison To it With The Original Stuff

Ok Now That Cleared With Where Were We????......Ahhh Yes The Hdd Space Right.....Let Me Aprrox Out On Em
Hl2 (3 Discs): After Installation 4.97Gb
Doom 3 (3 Discs): After Installtion 3.43 Gb (Approx)
Need For Speed Underground 2 (2 Discs):After Installation 1.69 Gb

SO Keep a Good 9GB Of ur Hard Disk Free Space For These Games
