Recommend me some new games? FPS, RTS, etc

I always get out of the loop with what the latest releases for the PC are?

Whats the latest fps games out atm? Any good RTS's? Any good games in fact.

The last games I played where Doom3, Quake4, FEAR and GRAW. So have there been any good games released since then?

I'm currently getting the NFS:Carbon demo to see how it is in comparison to Most Wanted.

Also where do yous check to see the latest game releases. It would be good if there was a site where you could just input the search date and game type and get a list of all the games for PC within that scope.

Well offline for fps get into Half Life 2, and other source related games on steam : www.steampowered.com

Half Life ep2 is coming out next year, and looks neat enough

L31mr0d

ok, been there done that HL2 is older than the games I listed right? Well I play CSS a bit, i've also played SiN Ep1 (decent) and HL2 Ep1 (not worth it) which where alright. Has there really been no really good FPS's released lately? I think FEAR was the last semi-decent one I played

BlitzKrieg

RTS: Company Of Heroes, one of the best games this year by far.

FPS: there's a western called Call of Jericho or something thats meant to be good, but not amazing, refreshing gameplay is one of its perks (i.e not another by the books shooter.)



EDIT: I think you may need to put New in as a big of a font as possible

Headshot

any good online fps games like call of duty

BloodBath

Battlefield 2 is one of the best online fps if you havn't played it already. Cod 2 is great single player and good multi.

Dark Messiah is worth a bash, but is a wee bit short for €45.
(FPS hack and slasher with some slight RPG elements)

Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is also good form what I hear: I have a copy bought today, I have as of yet to crack open :-)

L31mr0d

Played BF2 and CoD1 & 2 (as well as MOH:AA & PA).

I'll look into Dark Messiah, looks like a decent game, and thanks for reminding me about Dawn of War, another game which i'd forgotten about.

Oh and don't touch NFS:Carbon, even if you liked MW. Its utter bullcrap, I can't believe they gayed it up so much, the drifting is almost as bad as OutRun 2006.

So other than Crysis, there really isn't any more good fps's coming out soon?

Ciaran500

Bioshock is out next year aswell and Crysis has been delayed btw.

I'm playing Prey at the moment - not bad, you'll probably like it if you're a Doom3/Quake4 fan. It's only 30 quid in gamestop, probably less online.
F.E.A.R Extraction Point has also been recently released, but I gather there's only 4-5 hours of gameplay.

L31mr0d

played prey, I only got around half way through it then got bored. I think I was playing Doom3, Quake4 and Prey all at around the same time and to me the gameplay is too similar and the storyline not engageing enough. I'll get back into anyway. Where can you get FEAR extraction point? That isn't the free download one is it?

Dooom

FEAR Combat's the free download, it's just the MP portion of FEAR.
EP's on sale in the majority of game shops (well, I saw it in Gamestop anyway).

Auvers

Oblivion: RPG (Very good but combat lets it down)

Gothic 3: Rpg (needs a few patches though its buggy but very promising)

Neverwinter Nights 2: RPG

Company Of Heroes: Best RTS ever imho

Dark Messiah of Might And Magic: Good arcade RPG

Battlefied2142: Online FPS (Which I personally hate gimme BF2 anyday)

Next week is going to be good as the daddy of them all Medieval Total War 2 is out Friday yahoooooo

Oh and to a lesser extent the new Splinter Cell is out this Friday as well. If you have a new graphics card this game is sure to show it off as you can only play it if you have a shader 3.0 compatible card.

Dooom

There's a demo of Double Agent rumoured to pop up on Monday or there abouts. Even on high end systems, it's supposed to decimate them. Upgradey time.

i'm playing a lot of WARSOW - it's a free open source online fps - it's basically a cellshaded quake clone but with a huge emphasis on movement and speed - there are loads of special trick jumps you can do, wall jumps, bunny hopping, etc etc, and the levels are designed to take full advantage of it... it is the only open source game to be featured on the CPL tour [it was pretty much designed from the ground up for competitive play by skilled players]

there's loads of free servers, it runs on linux and windows, it's only a 75 meg download and it runs from the .exe

for all the non violent fps heads [a contradiction in terms but bear with me] there's also a large community of warsow racers - special maps that you basically have to cross as quickly as possible and you're ranked by your best time - some of them are so fiendishly difficult that i have had no luck even doing to the first jump before dying, but it's well worth a go if you're good at fps movement, jumps etc and want a real challenge.

free download at:

www.warsow.net

koneko

Dawn of War and it's new expansion pack
Company Of Heroes

Other than that...
Dark Messiah
Splinter Cell DA
FEAR expansion pack (haven't played it yet though, waiting for my new monitor to arrive ^_^)
NWN2 if you like RPGs

Check Eurogamer and Gamerankings regularly and you should have a fair idea of what's new and hot (and what's a steaming turd to be avoided at all costs).
