Skyrim will last you 30x longer than either of those games and will be just as awesome.

Do you honestly want to play skyrim on day 1? Remember its a big game, so Lots of glitches. Id go for Uncharted which will last your a while and it has good multiplayer.

I would say Skyrim if you love getting into a world. Uncharted if you are a big multiplayer fan. Batman if you are a comic book fan. Overall, however, I would say Skyrim as you can probably replay the single player a few different times and still have new experiences.

Ya, im going to get skyrim sometime in the future but I am going to let the glitches get ironed out first before since there are other games that to me personally seem like better games (Uncharted, Batman) :D But skyrim will last you longer if your just looking for a long term game otherwise uncharteds multiplayer can last you just as long.

I'd get Arkham City myself but keep in mind the people in this thread have little to go on as far as what your personal tastes are.

Skyrim will last you a lot longer, and since I won't enforce my personal recommendations like Dark Souls or Shadows of the Damned upon you, I would go with that one.

Buy Skyrim dude! That game seems like a more refined version of Oblivion and will probably contain massive amounts of content more than the other games. Hopefully the PS3 version will not be inferior in some way.

Skyrim is the best option looking at all of your previous statements. Unless you're a diehard multiplayer fan, Uncharted 3 is going to be (I'm betting) an awesome, but short (comparatively) ride. Batman seems pretty meaty, but when compared to Skyrim, it's also pretty short. But a question that needs to be answered is when are you going to buy your next game? If it's coming up say, next month, Batman would be a good choice. If it's in 2 weeks, Uncharted 3 would be great. But if it's until Christmas or something, Skyrim is your best bet.

Ultimately though....you're going to have to make up your own damn mind. lol.

I have the same problem as you, and I'm going with Skyrim. Also PS3.

It will last us a long time, I hope.

Batman: 15 hours (more if going after optional content)

Skyrim: 50+ hours.

Can't you decide for yourself? I mean, you probably know lengthvwise which game is more content rich and if that's something you value over something the other games offer.

I'd say that it's a pretty easy decision if you want to be occupied for a long time and you aren't into multiplayer or finding stupid trophies.

Buy a bunch of older games that are on sale that you wanted before but couldn't afford then because you bought one game on Day One and then buy all of these in six months when you'll get them for the same price as one Day One game (you won't even have to buy them used... so they'll still have that fresh new game smell when you rip the shrink wrap off them).

Probably echoing someone else but I'd say get Skyrim and try to do everything, by the time you finish everything you'll probably have enough money to get another..

As for your second choice, I'd say uncharted but that's probably just because I haven't finished Arkham Asylum yet

Actually Skyrim is 2 Hours 16 Minutes and 10 Seconds (more if going after optional content). <Edit - put the second place time in by mistake at first - fixed now>

Assuming you know what it is and have played a Bethesda game before and know what to expect.

Gotta go for Skyrim.

Buy a nice new button up shirt. Then go on job interviews until you find a better (first?) one. Then make money. Then buy all three when they're all $20 in 6 months.

If you are looking for the most out of the game Skyrim is going to have a lot of side stuff. If you are into that type of game I would pick that.

Just hold out for a couple of weeks. We should get the leak Black Friday ads soon. I remember last year I was able to get Brotherhood for $35 a week after it was released.

Dude. I hate to rub this in, but Target's having a Buy 2 Get 1 Free game sale starting this Sunday. If you can salvage together a little extra cash, you'd be able to get all three. Find a way, man! I believe in you!

Uncharted 3, as you really need to play those games right when they come out, or else risk getting everything spoiled. People are going to talk about the crazy set pieces, and it'll be hard to avoid, whereas people won't talk about story for the other two.

If I were in your position, I'd buy Skyrim and then rent Batman: AC at some point to play through the campaign.

Uncharted if it were me picking. Skyrim I'm sure will be fun-ish, but I really didn't like Oblivion other than the Dark Brotherhood. Batman has no replay value to me after beating it (though I've not played it, but that's how it was for AA for me).

I assume you're just wanting to play single player? If not, BATTLEFIELD 3.

Unless you can't get Skyrim for PC at some point, I would go with Uncharted. Otherwise, Skyrim.

I picked Batman just because I think it's the finest game I've played all year, but for longevity's sake Skyrim seems like a good choice as well

Thing is, you'll have enough content to enjoy it far beyond when the initial patches come through and fix things. I played Oblivion and Fallout 3 and New Vegas at/very near launch and never had a terrible experience with them.

Skyrim'll last you and there's no telling just how glitchy it'll be. It's sounding like they have done a much better job with the engine this time, learning their lessons from their last bit of tech.

Most game per dollar on Skyrim, and a bit a bias, here, but it's the one I'm most excited for.
