I don't know how many of you have seen this, but on slickdeals.net a link shows that Best Buy has a handful of PC games for 10 bucks after $20 off with a coupon. Three of those games are Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Red Alert 3. I've never played any of them, so I wanted to ask what I should get. I don't plan on buying more than two cuz I don't have that much time, so would I be better off getting the Crysis games (yes, my computer is good enough to run them both) or RA3? I like FPS games, but mainly ones that involve shooting other dudes or robots (wasn't sure if Crysis had any weird creatures you had to fight or not). The only FPS that I really liked where you had to shoot monsters or aliens was Halo :p. I also really liked RA2 and played it a lot, but wasn't a big fan of Generals or Tiberium Wars. Any thoughts?

Crysis and Warhead or CaC:RA3
I would get both Crysis games if your specs are up to it as you say.. There's loads of weird alien s***to shoot at, very cool alien **** from a art perspective. The second game is better.
I do believe there is GB a video review of Warhead knocking around somewhere.
EDIT:
It looks like it was taken down, but here's the written review.
Crysis is a very fun game I bought both Crysis and Crysis:warhead. I had ton of fun with both.
Crysis is a superb single-player experience when played on delta difficulty. RA3 doesn't look very appealing to me compared to other RTS games, and I haven't played Warhead. I have a friend who loved warhead, but I have heard it is much more linear than the original Crysis. If you haven't played Crysis yet, I would definitely recommend that first and then Warhead after that.
Get all 3. It's too good of a deal to pass up. You don't have to play all the games immediately--play them when you have the time.
I was trying to avoid getting all three, but I really wanna play Crysis and my friends wanna get RA3 for multiplayer, so I may just have to suck it up and buy them all. I have friends with Crysis, so I guess at least I can avoid buying that and just get Warhead which will save me a little money :D. Thanks for the help!
Crysis and crysis warhead is a good combo, warhead is more of an action game than the first one though and the graphics for both is good. Crysis looks really good though on vista directX10 on very high settings imo.
Crysis and Warhead are fantastic FPS's. I found they had really great gameplay, and also have a great open-world feel to them; you get the feeling of going wherever, doing a mission however you want, but you never get the feeling of being lost or not knowing what to do. Unlike farcry2's enormous open world that takes forever to traverse, Crysis's is a blast.
