Suggest some games to buy

[Ector]

Well I managed to get my dad in a good enough mood to buy me a game. This is a rare occurrence, so I want to take advantage of it.
The only problem is I have no idea what to buy.
So could you all belch out some of your favorite titles so I can decide faster, please? I would be most appreciative.
Games I enjoy:
Single player RPGs (Oblivion, Mass Effect, etc.)
Chaotic shooters (TF2, Unreal Tournament, etc.)
Platformers (Psychonauts, Battle for Bikini Bottom, etc.)
Brawlers (No More Heroes, War of the Monsters, etc.)
Open adventure games (Metroidvania styled)

Well, if you can stand turn-based, challenging, squad-based tactical games you should try X-COM: UFO Defense and/or X-COM: Apocalypse.

They're completely different games, saying one is better than the other is stupid.

You're stupid, just because they're different doesn't mean you can't compare them. I mean they are games

[Ector]

guys let's just ditch the whole Fallout thing. I own 3 and NV and they're both fine. Not quite sure about 1 or 2, though. Seems a bit complex and in case you did not gather I do not have complex tastes.

Never was in to the whole turn-based mechanic, but I'll take a look at it.

Got Dead Space 1/2? If not, you should get them.

Actually that's the primary reason that you can't compare them.
Comparing one genre to another is, actually, pretty stupid. You should be saying "I prefer [genre]", not "[genre] is better". Comparing games within a genre is fine and makes sense.

All of the loving fallouts are RPGs you idiot

I dunno, they just seem kind of bland to me. I like my shooters like I like my internet connection.
Fast and decent.
also I'm adding some genres that I didn't think of at first

Nexus: The Jupiter incident

*quickly googles*
I suck at strategy games, but it's really tempting me.
