Forums - PC Discussion - Making the transition to PC gaming, any game suggestions?

I have previously owned a PS3 and I currently have a 360. While these two machines were great, I think I have grown out of console gaming.

It's to expensive to keep buying games and live memberships, and after a while I just stop playing them. I never even touch my 360 anymore.

I have a decent PC that can run gamhat were made before 2006. I think Gears of War is the most my PC can handle. However I have been playin Starcraft since 2003 and I have been addicted to it ever since lol. Maybe thats the reason why I don't play my xbox.

But anyways, along with starcraft and quake 4 (I just found that in my draw) what other PC games are out there? I would like to by some Real time strat and FPS games. Preferably multiplayer...



Around the Network

FPS, slightly older system... no brainer, Battlefield 2. Now only 30$ including the expansions and boosters etc.

RTS... Supreme Commander, and Sins of a Solar Empire. Supreme Commander can be picked up super cheap last i looked on Direct2Drive ( 20$ for game + expansion) , Sins should be cheap now to - definatly get the entrenchment micro addon, it adds lots of units and tech etc.

1 suggestion...
dont do it!



If you like StarCraft, then try WarCraft III. It's a fantastic game that I continue to play to this day.



Well first off don't do it, but if you really feel the need to then you should get:

1. The Sims
2. The Sims 2
3. The Sims 3
4. Roller Coaster Tycoon

Hello Kitty Island Adventure!



RTS and FPS? Go with Battlefield, CoD(not MDW2), Crysis and Fallout(is a RPG, I know, but it has FPS elements, if you want) and RTS there are plenty; Empire EarthI and II, AoE2, Rise of Nations, Settlers4, Rome : Total War, Medieval Total War, Warcraft3, Sins of a Solar Empire and much more I don´t remember now, but please don´t abandon your PS3 (you said you have it one day, what happened?), play both, it´s not forbidden.

This man knows. Warcraft was always my preferred game anyway.

And, uh

Go here. Pick up the first two Fallouts, and also Painkiller.



Great choice, you won't be bale to settle for the skimpy FPS on consoles once you start on PC though.

Get UT2004 and Battlefield 2. Skip Crysis and UT3 since those games were very mediocre. If you can run GoW then you can definitely run Half-Life and TF2 as well. UT2004 and TF2 with all the content (free of course, you are playing on the PC now) out from the community.

Get Warcraft 3 and Sins of a Solar Empire as far as RTS games go. If you like the DOTA in WC3 then look up League of Legends, it's a free game that's just like DOTA. Also check out Civilization 4 and the Total War series, they aren't RTS (well you ca argue Total War has RTS elemnets) but they are extremely good.
