Help Me Out Guys

I have 65 bucks, and I can burn it for one game. Which one should I pick.

If you guys recommend some other game, go for it. I just pointed out the top 3 candidates right now.

BTW, I don't have xbox live, if it matters.

Definitely NBA 2k11

[theFRANCHISE]

In order:
1) NBA 2K11
2) Call of Duty: Black Ops
3) Madden NFL 11

All three are good games with their pros and cons, but NBA 2K11 seems to have the most replay value while also balancing casual and sim gameplay. COD is always a solid pick-up, but I've personally grown weary of shooters. Unless you love multiplayer gaming, there's really no point in purchasing any COD title at this point because the single-player campaigns only last so long. And Madden is always Madden, for better or worse. I thought this year's iteration was solid and enough of a leap forward from Madden 10, but if you hated the past couple of Maddens (even though they were big leaps forward from year-to-year after 08), there's no reason for you to play this one.

NBA 2K11 is your best bet

I'd go with Madden 11, a lot of my buddies are telling me the online Black Ops isn't nearly as good as MW2 and add in the fact that it isn't made by the same people it isn't as good as MW2. Basketball games aren't really my thing because I find them too slow(used to love the NBA Street games though), so I would go with Madden, gives you the most value IMO.

Glad everyone said NBA 11, it's a good game that will ages well.

I will suggest that you dowload the demo version of each game before you buy and see which one you like the best! I'm not sure if there is a playable demo for Black Ops.

[FerrariFan87]

NBA 2K11 since you don't have XBox Live, otherwise I'd go with Black Ops. Madden would be last on the list.

Somebody lied to you about the Black Ops. Black Ops is a great and a more balanced multiplayer experience with the added recoil and more balanced class sets and killstreaks.

You really can't go wrong with either Madden 11 or Black Ops. The 2K basketball series was only fun with friends to me but if you get Madden, you have a whole board of friends here to play with. =)

Thanks for the opinions guys. I just saw the trailer for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and it is now in serious consideration. Any thoughts about it?
