    I'm getting old, and I thought I'd already posted this.

    Obviously not?

    Anyway. I just got over COD4. So, so, so tragic

    Just wondering if anybody had any suggestions (other than Crysis)?

    Danke

    Bioshock, World in Conflict, Pro Evo 08, Lord of the Rings online, Warcraft, Crysis (sorry), Orange Box, Unreal Tournament 3, Supreme Commander, Company of Heroes.

    Any of the above are great games.

    I thought 'medal of honour airborne' was useful - some good weapons (when you customise them) also some good sprawling levels even if they are historically innacurate. Its also surprisingly tough when playing on hard mode. Heard good things about bioshock but havent played that yet. Also crysis.

    Gears of war definitely, one of the best games I have ever played...

    Stalker is very good too....

    Im playing Company Of Heroes at the minute, not really a strategy fan but this one of the most enjoyable games I have played in years.....

    If your a fan of console games Tomb raider Legend and Resident Evil 4 are great

    I just got the Bioshock metal edition the other day. Haven't got round to playing it yet. When it says "Internet Activation Required", does it download a patch like Half-Life 2? Cheers!

    Just finished Resident Evil 4 today. Great game, although there is NO MOUSE SUPPORT :rolleyes: luckily I play most of my 3rd person PC games with an Xbox 360 controller which works great.

    Picked up the Dreamfall: The Longest Journey Boxset last week and it's brilliant. It has the original The Longest Journey, the brilliant sequel Dreamfall, a soundtrack CD and an artbook. Got it as part of a 2 for €40 deal along with STALKER, but haven't even looked at STALKER yet.

    Yeah, you need to be connected to the internet during the installation. Don't think you need to be connected every time you want to play the game though. (I could be wrong there)

    Puzzle Quest seems to be adored by many, and is fairly cheap on Steam... ($21.72 including sales tax, so less than €15)

    Cheers. It seems the only benefit of "legitimate" games is slowly disappearing. 3 hours to set up half life 2 is just pathetic.

    Does Gears of War require a joystick/controller? That's a bit thick that Resident Evil 4 doesn't support the mouse fs. I was eyeing that. How's Prey?

    GoW doesn't require a controller. I actually played through it using my keyboard and mouse as I found it easier to control. Also, afaik, there might be a user mod out there that allows mouse support for RE4, but why would you want it, you can't pan around in RE4 and aiming is fairly simple using a controller. RE4 is reason enough to invest in a controller for the PC.

    I was enjoying Prey. Only got a few levels into it and Portal does the portal thing 100 times better but it was pretty decent if you can find it cheap.

    Yeah Prey is a great game. Of all the games based on the Doom 3 engine, imo, Prey was the best. It really is a game that gets good in the last act so you need to stick out the mind bending anti-grav and portals to get to the great stuff.

    I got freaked out playing Prey cause my then girlfriend said of the ghosts of kids that come chasing after you looked like her 7 year old daughter and that I was killing her every time I shot one.

    I just couldn't play the game after that.

    But it was a great game, very enjoyable.

    The one game that has lastest the longest for me is Company of Heroes. Over a year in and even having bought other games, its the first game I play when I get a chance.

    +1 for the Witcher. It's an amazing game, one of those I brought on a whim and have been totally justified in the purchase.
