Thread: Good Pc Games

Half Life 2
Oblivion
Battlefield 2

Great games

Unreal Tournament ftw

Lately I've been playing Pirates of the Burning Sea since I got into the beta testing , but I don't think I'll get it when it comes out.

I really like Garry's Mod, it's a 10$ Mod for Half-Life 2 , and pretty much all source games, where you can mess around with all the different items in the game and make cool contraptions and machines, anything really. The internet multiplayer is really fun because people can create new gamemodes, like building sleds and racing them. Anything really, its so open-ended.

I got the Orange Box, and I loved it. Portal was an awesome, though short game. The ending is the best ending to a game ever, in my opinion. Team Fortress 2 comes with it and it's pretty good, though I own people and they think I hack It also has Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2: episode 1 and 2, and those are all amazing too.

I played the Crysis demo and beta tested the multiplayer before it was release, it was pretty fun, but takes a really good computer to run it well, or an average gaming computer to run it on low. The game comes with a map editor, and people will be making mods for it all the time, so you get a lot out of it, like Half-Life 2, theres so many mods for that. I'll probably get it some time soon.

That's pretty much what I play. Usually Pirates of the Burning Sea first since it's the newest game I'm beta testing, then I either play Garry's Mod or Team Fortress 2 since the Crysis Multiplayer beta is over.


And Gnome, I really like Oblivion, too bad my graphics card died for a while and I uninstalled it and lost the CD I've looked everywhere for it, it's a really good game.

I liked Oblivion's graphics, but I think Morrowind was the best Elder Scrolls game. It's best to get it for PC rather than xbox.

Right now I'm playing Deus Ex. Not Deus Ex: Invisible War, just plain Deus Ex.

Bioshock
Eve
Guild Wars(but not so much)
Half Life 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2 FTW

quake 3.. yey oldie.. i know its unique gameplay, so i cant stop playing sometimes... ( not fraging.. )

i was big fan of diablo2.. but i think titan quest + immortal throne + many patches..made this game good enough for me to play

Crysis hehe

Hitman 1

I like the SandBox2 editor for Crysis. Can't wait until the conversions and mods start rolling out.

For all the people who said Half-Life 2...

You should have said the Half-Life SERIES!!! You can't just play Half-Life 2 without playing Half-Life first!!!

Half-Life Series
Portal
Counter-Strike: Source
Team Fortress 2
Afaird of Monsters: Director's Cut (a Half-Life mod)
Zombie Panic (a Half-Life mod)

Hmmm on the PC eh( halo, im sorry)

Well since i only really play RTS games on the pc. You know build a base build some tanks blow stuff up, here are my favs:

1. Total Annihilation! This great was AMAZING for it's time, 3d looking terrain, bullets done in mock 3d( as in bullets go over cliffs, can miss targets etc. This game stands up to competitors now, so much better then the first Command& Conquer games.

2. Supreme Commander. Spiritual successor to TA, made by the same guy. I love the scale of the units, some are huge like like a hundred times the size of smaller tanks, so cool.Only problem is that it's so demanding of systems that you need a really good computer to get it to run smoothly. So thats going to have to wait until some time in the summer hols when I've saved up enough cash to replace this aging machine.

3. Command&Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Great game, loved the stories in the Command and Conquer series. Follows on the Tiberian Sun and firestorm games, can't wait for the expansion in the spring.

4. Dawn of war: Really good RTS, i love when races have biological units such as riding demons and such, also tanks that look like insects, so some races in this are really good.

5. Universe at War: Earth Assault. Now this isn't out yet but i played the demo yesterday and it was really good. Giant tanks by the looks of it.

Surprised these haven't been mentioned yet

-Thief: The Dark Project
-Thief 2: The Metal Age

And all the fan-made missions out there are the reason I haven't picked up any new computer games in the last few years.

Here are my favourites (2 RTS and 1 first person). All are PC games.

Rise of Nations: RTS game; not new but exceptional in my opinion. It's not as "upbeat" as games like Empire Earth and Age of Empires but at the same time not as boring as Civilisation. You can have awesome battles and at the same time there's diplomacy and polotics, but they're easy to use. Ancient age to present day, nuclear weapons available and best of all a "conquer the world" campaign. 18 civs (an extra 6 in xpack)

Age of Empires III: Exrordinary game play and outstanding graphics. On a good computer water glitters like water and metal shines like metal. 3D graphics e.t.c what you would expect from a new game. You are one or 8 european powers establishing colonies in the Americas (the two expansion packs introduce native american and asian civs as well). Gameplay appears to be more similar to age of mythology than the original AOE2 so if you didn't like it you won't like this either. Campaigns are based on fictional stories of individuals although based around the time.

Medal of Honour (any of them): You are basically an American soldier dropped into WW2. The graphics are very good especially in pacific assault and there is convincing realism: except in the one or two levels where you're on you're own against the antire occupation of Norway or something like that. Can't wait until I can afford Aireborn where you're a paratrooper!

Oh, and Zeus -- So addictive

Oh, just thought of this: The Grim Fandango. If you haven't played it yet, you're missing out.

The Sims 2 plus expansions

I have ALL of The Sims expansions and base game, and I have 4 of the expansions for The Sims 2.

Maybe I have some kind of complex about controlling crap, but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this game.

Omg. There's a part in that game where if you don't do a certain string of events in a particular order, you are in a dead end forever and ever and must start over. Luckily I had saved not long before that point and was able to start from there. I hate crap like that. Also the ending was anti climactic. Had a lot of undiscovered potential. But the rest of the game was awesome. The way that "real" people looked was really cool.

Anyway, my choice is Thief. My fav was part 3... I realize that's for Xbox, but I played the PC version.

Half-Life 2 gets me tired really quickly. Didn't happen with 1.

Half-life 2 (and 1): Notably, the mod Dystopia is incredible. Check it out, it needs more players!

Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne: years of entertainment between melees and customs.

Diablo II + Expansion, always good for wasting time though it's getting old.

Medieval 2: Total War, good fun.

Natural Selection is an awesome game and i'm completely addicted to it right now, it's a Half-Life 1 mod and it's kind of a mix between counterstrike and starcraft. One player is the commander and views the map from a top-down view and places structures and orders his units about, and... the other players ARE the units in first-person mode. If you have half-life you should definetly check it out

Whoa! Seconded! Never thought anyone would mention that one .
And you can add up Psychonauts to that list too ('nother pearl from Tim Schafer)

I KNEW IT!

Age of Empires is too retrotastically classic not to mention. Age of Mythology even better.
Mount&Blade rocks my body. I still think it's revolutionary. And you can get it for free.

giants : citizen kabuto.. interesting and funny game with still rock on graphics..
