What should I get?

[Firestorm94]

Ok, I got $100 so far in Christmas money, but I don't know what to get with my money.
Choice 1: Empire Earth III for PC
I really liked it when I played it at my friend's, so I see this as safe choice
Choice 2: Civilization IV: Colonization For PC
I've heard mixed comments about this, to me, it just looks like a mod that I have to buy. I can be convinced otherwise
Choice 3: Mario Party 8 For Wii
I'm not sure about this one because it seems that the Mario Party series has decreased in quality.
Choice 4: Buy RAM
My computer could use some more RAM. I might get this because I have a game that I shelved because it was so damn slow!
Choice 5: Buy a graphics card
My graphics card is kinda old, but I dunno what to get.

RAM.

Put it in a Roth IRA.

Seriously, I'd avoid EE3. The Total War series or Age of Empires series is probably better.

If you go for upgrading your computer, I highly recommend the Computer Talk section of the forum. Very helpful people there

If you want EE - buy the first or second one. Third one has an AI which uses units from every single age at once. You don't want to get wiped by prehistoric warriors and tanks at the same time, don't you?

How much RAM do you have, and how good is your graphics card?

 

[Aramazd]

RAM, you can buy 4GB DDR2 800 kits for $30-$50. Then you can do what you want with the rest.

Provided his motherboard supports DDR2 and the RAM.

 

[Snerk]

Spend it all on fancy booze for new years eve. Go on, you know it makes sense!

 

[Aramazd]

Provided his motherboard supports DDR2 and the RAM.

True, I just assumed his mobo could support it.

 

[Shylock]

Empire Earth 3 sucks.

 

[GenMarshall]

I'd go for the RAM and a video card.

Depending on what your system is, upgrade it (and get Colonization as it's cheap).
