Default Which games should I spend my money on?

I don't have that much money right now, but I want some good games to play. I was thinking Half-Life 2, Battlefield 2, COD 2, F.E.A.R., but I could probably only spend about 100 bucks, which limits me to about 2 games, i'm looking for a good single player shooter with lots of tense moments and a good online shooter. Any recommendations on games? Thanks!

i tried the FEAR demo and did not like it. i would recommend HL2 and BF2 or COD2. since BF2 and CoD2 are almost the same (kinda), its tough to choose between the two!

good choice, if you buy HL2, then it comes with CS.

ya kinda by the fact their both FPS's but they are really different. BF2 is ment for online play, set for modern combat, and you capture flags to win. while Cod2 is set in WW2, focus's on singplayer, has objectives you have to complete, and known for very very intense fire fights.

ya its CS:Source and it also comes with HL2: Deathmatch which is a really fun game. also you can get tons of mods from steam for free that are also very fun, like dystopia and natural selection.
