Need new PC games

[Buizel91]

Just go on Steam, you'll get some true greats like Mass Effect for cheap - they've got a huge sale on at the minute I think. Dragon Age is on sale (although I haven't played, but obviously it's got glowing reviews), definitely play the Half-Life games if you haven't done so yet.

Then there's L4D2 and Bioshock - haven't played either yet, but Bioshock is reportedly fantastic and a friend of mine with impeccable gaming taste is whole-heartedly recommending L4D2 to me.

Crysis is also a very good game; it looks stunning, has an above average story, gives a fair amount of freedom in your play style and is good fun and a good length. Anyone, and I mean anyone, that says they've completed it in something like 5 hours is a moron - they're lying.

Batman: AA is really great also; one of the best games of this year.

Can't really comment on RTS titles (the only one I can play and can actually get anywhere in is Rome: Total War), but you shouldn't miss out on any of those games.

bioshock got on console, along with batman, and as i sed in my post, i dont want crysis because it requires a monolith to play =P i may try out mass effect because 10,000 voices in my head are telling me to =P thanks for the other reccomendations aswell =)

If you list your system spec (the basics like GFX card, RAM, etc.) then I'm sure we'll be able to tell; Crysis really ain't that hard to run on good settings - I'd be surprised if you couldn't knock it out on high easily if it's a new PC.

well i cant say the full spec cause i aint a computer wiz, what i can say is it has windows 7 ( tryed installing a few older games and they are not supported which is a reall *****!) urm 60 odd gig on the C drive and another 60 on the D drive, which again i find annyoing, and put it his way, if i have high specs for most of my games, they run slow, starwars empire at war for example, it has a NVIDIA graphics card, intel celeron =S dunno if that means anything.

If Empire At War runs slowly for you then I'm not sure if you'll even reach the minimum specs for some of the games out there.

thats the reason i keep graphics at a minimum, most games will work, just not on high spec as ive sed, its a typical computer, not a gaming one

we all have different tastes lol, my theory is PC is best for RTS games, and some shooters and arguably some racing games, where as consoles deal with the shooters and RPG games (simply because they usually have higer graphic requirements and on the computers i get usually dont work)

Well you have a point. See, my first "real" game was Call of Duty for PC and I played it and its expansion for years. So I kind of grew up on PC shooters. I will agree that RTS games are a million times better on PCs than consoles and racing games and RPGs are better on the consoles, but the PC, to me at least, has controls that are so much more smooth and accurate. I still play some shooters on the 360 that my PC can't handle (it's a four year old computer with a slightly upgraded graphics card, but I'm going to get a gaming PC for Christmas... probably...) like BioShock, Fallout 3, and Borderlands. I will admit as well that consoles are better for third person games as well such as Prince of Persia and Gears of War but when I get my new computer, I will most likely never buy another first person shooter on the console. But yeah you'll probably dig Diablo or Starcraft.
