I've quit WoW and it's time to finish a few games that have been sitting since November. I've managed to narrow it down to three choices and I just can't decide. So help me out...which should I start first?

Half-Life 2
Vampire : Bloodlines
Far Cry

Glycerine

I couldn't get into Vampire, however I really enjoyed HL2 & FarCry. They are both really worth your time.

I voted Far Cry because it is the oldest...shrug.
Guess I figure the longer you wait to play it the less likeley you ever will...and you should, or so I hear. Haven't played any of the three but Far Cry is next on my list(shameless bargain shopper) after I finesh the Call of Duty expansion.

Far Cry before HL2. I find myself comparing it to HL2 and finding it lacking. The strength of Far Cry is the openness of everything and the non-linear game play (as much as you can get away with in an FPS). However, I really , really like the story and interactivity of the environment in HL2.

I'd suggest playing Glycerine.

Depends what you're into. If you prefer RPGs, I'd recommend Vampire. I brought Vampire and HL2 at the same time, and I played Vampire a lot more. You need a beefy rig though. If your PC isn't top of the range, give HL2 a try.

Well well well... since you asked...

Half Life 2 I think is the safest choice because of its top quality gameplay and graphics. You get a bit of everything: shooting, running, explosions, zombies, vehicles, weird creatures, plot. Personally, I didn't find it as thrilling as I would've liked, but it's a safe choice. You may not love it but you're not likely to actually hate it either.

Vampire is the more interesting to me, but that's more because of its theme as much as anything else. I really enjoyed it much more than Half Life 2 but I can also see why other gamers would be irritated or uninterested.

Farcry This game was all over the place for me: fun and annoying and everything inbetween. Took me awhile to finish because of this uneven experience. However, the best moments in Farcry were equal or better than the best moments in HL2.

So I'd play .....first, play HL2 as a middle-of-the-road choice.

Well, what are you waiting for?
