    topic pretty much sums it up, and I'm not really looking for anything specific, so what's cheap that you recommend? 
     
    I was thinking about getting Unreal Tournament 3, just for the fun of the modding capabilities and some of the awesome stuff I've seen already, but was just wondering if there's anything I've overlooked.

    Check Steam each weekend, they have some good deals on games and bundles. If you haven't played it yet, get the Sins of a Solar Empire bundle that comes with Entrenchment. It's a great game and is definitely worth the $20 price tag.

    Go on Steam, you will find many great deals. Right now there is 50% off Rebellion Titles (Sniper Elite as one) but they have these deals every week. if you need Valve games, that is also the place to go.

    I've already played both at my friend's and for some reason fell in love with UT3 for no apparent reason. Maybe it's that same feeling people get when they know they're playing crap, but like it anyways, like Dynasty Warriors fans.  But, I've had a lot of fun with the MODs on that more than anything else.  So I guess I should get Garry's Mod just for funsies.

    Well I already have The Orange Box, so I've already got TF2. And I'm not into Counter Strike, so I think I'll go with Garry's Mod and UT3, I know it's getting a lot of hate but I have tons of fun with the mods at my friend's like The Haunting, it's like mixing Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 5, and the unique weapons of Dead Rising, minus the budget.

    UT3 is an excellent tool but I'd argue that there are better shooters out there.

    UT3 is not crap. It's a very good game, that came out in the wrong time, and was rejected by the core audience (UT2k4 players). 
     
     Look on Steam.

    Hell yes!
     
    Edit: Oh and since I didn't enjoy UT3 I'm going to ignore your obvious interest in it and recommend you don't by it.  LOL
