    JC> Yeah thats true, but I thought Doom3 went a long way to add a bit of

   Monsters! Killed everyone... Go kill em soldier!   
   (OK, I'm over complicating the story a bit, everyone was already dead when you   
   get there)   
      
      
   Compared to Doom 2, it was an improvement.

    AO>> Also, Don't miss Bioshock Infinite. Fun gameplay, kind of a headtrip

    JC> I still haven't played BioShock 2 but the first one was pretty awesome   
    JC> (also didn't finish that one).  Total change in the setting in this one   
    JC> good to hear it doesn't take away from the franchise.   
      
   You can skip Bioshock 2, wasn't even done by the original studio as I recall.   
   Infinite is... "Infiniately" (groan) better.   
      
   Another game you should look at (Guarantee you missed yet) is Spec Ops: The   
   Line. Came out in 2012, was easily my GOTY mainly for the story, dealt with   
   PTSDs and was a great story. Way underrated.   
      
   If more action is your cup of tea, Borderlands 2.
