"The days of online dominated gaming must end! We can't let the game companies bastardize our beloved video games by making it nothing but online!"
I didn't know it was a crusade... :/

that's not really the point, I was just being sly.
the point of it was that I won't be able to play MP games in a month, and that's all developers seem to make now.
the point is, I need some recommendations on some good single player games to get for a decent price or for a decent goozex point amnt.

I can't speak for WaW, but the Gears 2 campaign is awesome. Aaaand, you can have fun in all the multiplayer modes with bots, too! Horde=orgasm
Xbox 360 owner and want to play single player games? You bought the WRONG console!
As for Left 4 Dead AI...they are good. I was able to get through on Advance difficulty with 0 problem with 3 computers.
But if you want a long single player game, get Fallout 3. Fable II is single player game. Also, Too Human is single player (although the obvious short of them all). Those three games are something to look at.
The Last Remnant is coming out next week, RPGs are usually not short.

You probably won't like Horde mode if you have to play with bots. And the campaign is...it is a campaign. Little longer than the first but I didn't find it as satisfying.
Fallout 3, Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden II, Dead Rising, Lego Star Wars, umm...I don't know, those are just off the top of my head, referring to my own collection.
I strongly recommend both Oblivion and Fallout 3 for their immersive worlds. These are good for turning off the lights and just diving into the single player experience, losing track of a few hours at a time in the process.

redrabbit-multiplayer with bots will make me at least rent it to check it out. I've been wanting to play Horde, and it's good to see that it's offline. I've heard mixed things about the campaign, so I'll check that out, thanks
bsd-yea, I know I got the wrong console. I bought it a few years ago when all I did was play games online. and I still do that alot. I'm getting in my time in CoD4 before I have no more online.
Is the PS3 quite a bit better for single player games? I know I want to get MGS4 and Uncharted if I get one.
Good to hear about L4D AI, I was hesitant.
and is Too Human really that good? I hated the demo.
Thanks for the recs.

Game designers aren't making that much Online Only games at the moment. Gears 2, WaW, and L4D all have great single player campaignes.
And if those all end up sucking, you can just play tonnes of RPG's, many of them have 50+ hour storylines, and their are great RPG's on every system.

If you hate Too Human demo...don't give it more than a rent.
FarCry 2 is kind of like GTA4 minus the bad plus FPS and Africa. It is a big game as well so if you like FPS, you might want to check it out.
You know, I don't know if the PS3 really is the better choice...they both are limited. But I was without the internet for awhile and mainly played my PS3 with UT3 that looked amazing!
They are about even, but they do have MGS4 and Uncharted. And also PS3 might not have the better online components but it is FREE! So you coudl go online and play Resistance 2 co-op all you want for $0.

yea, free internets on the ps3 is a plus, but we won't have the internets right away.
either way, I'm hoping to get a ps3. she wants a puppy though, so I'm hoping her=puppy, me=ps3 or bigger hdtv
farcry 2 didn't dazzle me, but it was at least solid. I'd pick it up when it dropped below $30.
and I added Oblivion to my Goozex list.

Buy her Nintendogs and be selfish. Get the internets at all cost. We got zombies to pulverize, dude!
I'm having the same problem. I'm not really into online multiplayer games, or games that look like they wish they were hollywood movies, so it's been tough to find a game on either the PS3 or the 360 that I can really get into.
But if you are ok with games that try to look like movies, then Fable 2 and Fallout 3 are both more that worth a playthrough.

"...being newlywed, I won't be able to afford two things....XBL memberships and Internet."
Simple solution: don't get married.
But on a serious note, if you want a great campaign game that'll eat up a good bit of time check out Dead Rising. That game has a shit-ton of replay value and is a blast. I'm pretty sure you can get it used for dirt cheap by now. Also, if you want something newer, Dead Space has been pretty awesome, but the campaign is kind of short.

it's all for nothing
I came home today, had a voice message in french, and after it was done, my box froze, RRoD.
It's kinda like that movie The Ring. if you get a voice message in french, your doom awaits you.

I think the problem is that multiplayer is just easier, at this point in time. Theres real pressure to make the latest, greatest, best looking, most realistic, most intelligent, and above all most innovative new single player experience. We gamers tend to be very harsh on games that dont break into the top tier.
Meanwhile multiplayer games are getting more and more popularity and theyre getting increasingly good at making them.
Anyway, SHAME ON YOU for not completing the Half Life 2 series yet. Its probably the best single player experience ive had. Also, assuming you got the Orange box youve got Portal too.
Id pick Fallout 3 over Oblivion, just because vanilla Oblivion didnt deserve the praise it got (just imo, of course). Get in on pc and its pretty darn fun with mods. '
FarCry 2 is fun if you like clearing small groups of enemies over and over and over and over and over and fucking over... there is some pretty sweet action in there sometimes though.

Go to the bargain bin at GameStop and get yourself some old PS2 or Xbox 1 games. Cheap and effective.
Don't start with the GameStop hate, I'm just trying to help a soon to be poor dude out.

farcry2, deadspace, fallout3.
If you have a pc: the witcher enchanced edition, Civilization IV colonization.
Go back and play half life, or System Shock 2, or the Brothers In Arms series...
anyway, how can you live without the internets nowadays?

I live out in the sticks and can relate to your gaming woes. I recommend the following titles: Dead Rising, Eternal Sonata, Oblivion, Dead Space, Fallout 3, Rainbow Six Vegas (1&2), and of course the ones you mentioned. All of them are good and all of them have great single player experiences.
I really enjoy playing online, but I agree, where have the 10+ hour long games gone? I mean GoW2 is 7 hours about then it's all online. Don't get me wrong, online is defiantly a great advantage to a game and raises the reply value exponentially but sometimes you want more of a great game. As an example, COD4 single player was amazing and I wish it was a bit longer. And we all would have bought GTA4 even if there was no online play.
Online is great and I wish more games had online capabilities but sometimes you want a little more when it comes to a great campaign.

Velt:I will have internet access at my school which allows me to check Toid and Goozex regularly, but as far as XBL goes, no such luck
I've decided CoD:W@W is probably a safe pick up, considering I enjoy going through CoD 2 and 4 on Veteran, which takes a while. Plus I spent 4-5 hours getting Mile HIgh Club on Vet, and I am looking forward to the Zombie mini game after CoDW@W
Regardless, Left 4 Dead is going to be a must. I've determined that.
