Unreal Tournament 2004
 

From what I have seen of the whole "new year, new game" thing from the different sports game titles, I would usually recommend getting an older version. Most of the time, the new version is just as buggy as the previous and there are few improvements, if any. In addition, you can normally pick up an older version for less than half the cost of the new version. I think that Atari had guys like me in mind when they designed UT2004 because quite simply, it rocks!
