Which game should you buy next? I'd suggest Morrowind if you don't already have it.

Without knowing your game selection, its hard to tell. AtoM of course has the right idea, Morrowind is a great game if you didn't already know that. Out of the choices you listed though, I would personally suggest Batman. I've played a bit of MW3, and it seems to be the same game as BO or MW2 in my opinion, so not worth it to me. Never been a big Gears of War fan, so can't say much on that. I played Arkham Asylum and thoroughly enjoyed it, but haven't gotten to play City yet, but it looks great. Maybe if you post your current games library, or games you really enjoy, we can help you more?

If you're interested in a new release and an RPG, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is definitely worth a look. It comes out in February and holds a lot of promise. There are a ton of videos, previews, trailers, etc. on YouTube which you can check out to get a feel for it, or check out this thread and this one.

Wow, I didn't know that Kingdoms of Alamur : Reckoning was designed by the lead designer of Morrowind and Oblivion.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout: Tactics, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are all good games.

How about supporting the indie developers and buying the Humble Bundles.

A: It'll be awfully cheaper than the titles in the poll.

B: I personally find them to be better games too.

Out of the three options, Arkham City. Because Batman.

if you dont have battlefield 3 you should get that.

if you are into racing games you could pick up a nice copy of Forza Motorsport 4, that game is awesome

Battlefield 3 is waaay better than MW3 in my opinion. And I am totally psyched for Amalur.

Go with Battlefield 3 over Modern Warfare 3, because it rewards tactical strategy and is not a reflex shooter. Vehicles, large maps...More of a modern military experience.

If you're looking for an action/ shooting type game, Battlefield 3 is the way to go. The Battlefield series is SOOO much better than CoD. The maps are larger, the weapons are more varied, the fights are more tactical, you can use tanks and jets and warships, and you can blow up buildings. And I mean blow up buildings.

Modern Warfare 3. HAHA! Why is that even an option. Don't. Ever. Buy. That. Game.
Honestly. Buy Batman: Arkham Asylum or BF3...or Skyrim.

BF3 is awesome. Even the campaign is better than the CoD one IMO, unlike most say.

Definitely invest in the next GTA though. It wont come out for a while, but it's worth putting your money aside :)

Saints Row, The Third. The game has a fantastic sense of humor, the missions are a ton of fun, there's a lot to do, and the story isn't half bad either.

Batman. POW! SOCK! BAM! Gears and MW3 if you played the previous games you played them already.

Alternatively you could try:

Fallout 3 or New Vegas
Bully

If you haven't played them already.

Gotham City Imposters. It's got the humor and graphics style of TF2, easy to understand controls, and a Team Based gameplay.
