    Starcraft 2 is always fun, but takes a while before you can compete on a multiplayer level. I've been playing a bit of Dead Space lately too.

    A nice cheap game which is one of my personal favourites is Trine. The visuals and physics are just stunning.

    Great PC games

    This game is pretty popular and i tink u heard about it:Diablo 2 especially Diablo 2 battlenet to enjoy slaying Baal with other people.
    I recommend Mount and Blade series, they are fun to hell :D
    As for RTS games i recommend Cossacks series and Stronghold series,also i recommend Age of Empires 2,3 cuz 1 sucks :))
    MOHAA and Call of Duty online brings back the WW2 battlefields :)
    A really great FPS is Hidden&Dangerous 2 wich is in my opinion an AWESOME realistic shooter.
    Gothic I and Gothic II are simply mistically and magic,you should really check them out ;-)
    Gothic III in my opinion is unfinished and lack the magic of Gothic 1&2.
    I have many more games to recommend but this comment is going to be too big :))

    If you do indeed like outer space and star ship kind of games, than I got one for you!

    How about try this one....

    Star Trek Starfleet Command III

    I have owned and played all the games in the Starfleet Command series, and out of all of them number 3 I think is the best. Plenty of action, plenty of Starship's to choose from, plenty of authentic missions, and the game still has great on-line support and play.

    I've tried that one, but i don't like it, its old :)
  11. Zen TechSpot Paladin Posts: 938   +40

    I'm sorry if the game I recommended was not to your liking! I can understand that some games out there are not for everyone. But please, go easy with the old thing, yes it's old, but many around here would say that they still dabble and play some old games. I look at it like this, if someone is recommending an old game, that should tell you something. The thing it should tell you is that the game is still a hit and a classic, means the computer company that designed the game did something right. I will have a look through my P.C. gaming library and see if I have anything else that would better suit you.

    well i don't mean old as in its bad and such.
    i mean its old as in the graphics, im used to the new games with betther graphics and controls,

    The S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is still my all time favorite. it incorporates a wide open environment, stratagy, and great graphics. This guy does extremely well done mods for all three in the series, particularly the COP complete. He re-lite, retextured, re shadowed, re-everything. the mod includes the 'Atmosfear' mod that adds dynamic weather as well.
    They can all be had here.

    These will put the hurt on your VGA if you crank it up though, fortunately COP has one of the best graphical settings panel out there

    I'd recommend Minecraft or something like Planetside. If your getting tired of the typical shooter or MMO planetside might be a good mix for you. Or even something like Global Agenda.

    I said Minecraft too (or Terarria) as they are totally differ from games like shooters or RPGs. It has a mean learning curve and leaves you to figure things out on your own but there are a lot of nice sites out there (wiki) and youtube videos to get you started.

    Good luck!
