Forums - PC - Recommend me some good PC games, please!

I need some recommendations from you guys. No matter what genre it is or if it's exclusive for the PC or not but my preferences are: Shooters, RPGs (any kind of RPG), Strategy (any kind of strategy game), Simulators, Action adventures (something like Batman: AA or Tomb Raider), Adventures (point & clicks), Horror/survival and sports games (racing, snowboard, tennis, etc). Oh and I don't care if the game wasn't released yet, if it's good I will keep my eyes on it.

Thanks.

Well looking through your collection, I don't see any Total War games

I would recommend Rome, Medieval II and Empire Total War, all incredible games, I have spent days and days on each of those. (well Steam says 107 hours on Empire)



Not looked at your current lot...

But the Baldur's Gate games are a MUST buy!



                            

System Shock 2 (fps/rpg/survival horror),
Anno 1503 a.d. (Strategy),
Grim Fandango (adventure),
Deus Ex (action/rpg),
Tropico 2 (sim)



The question needs to come up as to what your PC specs are and are you willing to play older games?

Seriously if you like strategy and simulator games then look no further than "Tropico".

The game is so addictive once you start that I would liken it to heroin. It has a massive amount of game life, you will get hundreds of hours of game play out of it.

It's also 9 years old so you can but it for very little money (literally penny's) in second hand game shops or the Internet. I last bought it a few months back for 45p (about $1). Well worth it.

Hmm? I see Dystopia beat me to this suggestion. Well that's all the more reason to buy it.



half life 2

Thanks! I hope I can find Total War on steam

 

@Carl2291

Thanks but I already have Baldur's Gate (Incredible games btw)

 

@largedarryl

Phenom II X4 945, 4GB ram and 9600GT 1GB. I won't complain about the graphics if the game is good.

 

@Dystopia

System Shock 2, huh? Now I am interested, my friend just said that it's creepy. I will try to find SS2 and Anno 1503 a.d. (I already finished Grim Fandango once and I loved it).

 

@highwaystar101

Should I wait for Tropico 3 or try to find Tropico 2?

 

@Dioxinis

Do I need to finish Half Life 1 to play Half Life 2?



MII TW is £2.50 at the moment, and RTW £5, so I would start with one of those

Oh, I will buy it using USD, it should be something like $6 and $8, right? Seems to be veeeeery cheap, thanks!
