Must Have PC games?

etrnnlchaos24 · 02-20-2007, 08:22 PM

Hi everyone. I recently got a new computer built for gaming but am not sure exactly what games i should get for it. Any good current game will do and space isnt a problem for me. (200+ gigs) Any Suggestions?

*Do not list these games*

Counterstrike Source/1.6: Played it and got tired of it after about an hour. No objectives or anything =/

Trackmania: In process of getting so dont list.

World Of Warcraft: Don't get me started..

Guild Wars: Getting

ANY Sports Game: thats what i have my consoles for.

Ill add more as i remember.

Try out Battlefield 2124 (If thats the right date

). It's the best First-person shooter on the PC by far, even beats Counter-Strike. You can drive mechs, tanks, and use a TON of weapons in an absolutely devastating arsenal. I played it at a LAN for about 7 hours straight. It's that amazing.

Unreal Tournament 2004, though old, is still a beautiful game. Fastest paced shooter out there. You wtfpwn or get wtfpwned, nothing in between. Lots of weapons. Lots of maps. Even downloadable maps and mods to spicen things up when it gets old.

Diablo 2, or Warcraft 3 are just fun. Play them online after you get used to the mechanics of the game, and you'll spend nights just playing with other people, learning stradegies, and even getting into some User-made maps with special rules (Not on Diablo 2, however. That's straight up, no mods whatsoever)

Also, if you want something free, and fun. Search "Seal Hunter"
Another 7 hours of my life, wasted to laughing my ass off as I killed everything from Seal Activists, to the Seal king. My god is that a fun game. Trust me, You'll enjoy it.

Hope it helps.

It's Battlefield 2142.

Age of Empires III is also a great game.

Spore is the main reason that I want a new graphics card. =3

sjoecool1991 · 02-21-2007, 09:15 AM

I cant WAIT for spore.
I am waiting for Halflife 2 episode 2, so I can get portal.

And get RCT3 with both expansions, addicting game.

Tps222 · 02-21-2007, 10:59 AM

Civilization 4.

Rise of Nations.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Might as well play ES III: Morrowind

TechnoElite2 · 02-21-2007, 11:03 AM

Spore.

Spore.

Spore

Spore

Sp0re

SPORE

*Dies*

evilbutterfly · 02-21-2007, 11:31 AM

Spore? More like Q3 '07.

=(

But yeah, Battlefield for the win. I haven't played 2142, just 2, but it's the same engine and basic idea, and some of the things I've heard that are different seem good. Mainly it's because there seems to be more motivation in 2142 to work for your team, which is a serious problem in BF2. =\

**Starshot** · 02-22-2007, 01:06 PM

The Longest Journey

Dreamfall (Play The Longest Journey First)

Scratches (It'll creep the hell out of you)

Red Alert 2 (It's a freakin' classic)

Battlefield 2142 sucked and is just a freakin' expansion pack to Battlefield 2.

Psychonauts

Roboblitz (A cheap and fun platformer shooter)

Far Cry

etrnnlchaos24 · 02-22-2007, 02:17 PM

Command and Conquer 3 just recently came out .. I don't have it yet but if you like other C&C games you will definitly like this one. Draw back is that the game is about $60.

**Starshot** · 03-30-2007, 08:15 PM

The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey

Two of the greatest adventure games ever made.

GuidoHunter · 03-30-2007, 08:40 PM

Caesar IV.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned them yet, Warcraft and Starcraft. Maybe not so much starcraft anymore, but Warcraft is still great.
