best pc games?

[simon275]

ive never played Half life 2 or any steam games (shoot me ) so i dont know about those.

You are missing out.

I like RPG's so I would have to endorse
Elder scrolls 3: morrowind (my rig can't handle oblivion atm)
Worlds of warcaft
only played the demo of half life 2 and really liked it but I've heard complaints about steam's update/server login thingy being fascist so it kinda turned me off
do not get everquest or EQ2 their Customer Service sucks

So BF2142 is pretty good? The thing that turned me off on that one was the adware and the fact that it's an EA title. Some of the older good games were the Command & Conquer series up until Tiberian Sun, all after that are just "EA Wonders." The "Knights of the Old Republic" (KotOR) series is pretty good to, like NWN, but Star Wars themed. For RTS, I highly recommend MechCommander2, that game is one of the most customizable I've ever seen, you customize the mechs that you send into battle, and choose the pilots you use, it's a great game. Pretty much everything else everyone's mentioned is pretty good.

Knights of the Old Republic II was good to.

I'm getting 4 Games for Christmas, i've read up on like the top 20 games of 2006 from various websites and i've picked:

Spore
Oblivion
Age of Empires III
Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

Spore is about evolving and advancing your species. You start off as bacteria and go all the way to the space age. Sounds interesting so i'd give it a shot

Oblivion is a graphically intensive game so i dunno if your system can pull it but i'm getting it to test my rig in the Foliage area =]

Age of Empires III is a civilization builder. Advancing through ages, attacking, defending and so forth. I love those types of games so i'm getting it.

RON:ROL is a real time strategy. Graphics look stunning and it's from Microsoft (they brought us Gears Of War). Need i say more?

If your rig can't handle oblivion, there is a mod out there called oldblivion. It's specifically made for pc's that can't handle oblivion well.
It looks much worse, but it's highly configurable and allows you to play on older rigs.

Spore sounds sweet. I just don't want to sink the amount of time it always takes to play a mmorpg. Other than that, it sounds bitchin'.

Spore isn't as such a MMORPG. It kind of uses other people's races in your game but without you or them ever communicating-they have AI, not real intelligence. At least, this was the situation last time i checked about 2-3 months ago.

The game is so freakin creepy, I can't count the number of times I wasted ammo on some phantom that just disappears in a few seconds anyway.

[simon275]

Its like when one of those fast zombies charge at you in HL2 and you waste **** loads of ammo on it.

I had to learn, you wait for the fast ones to be right on you, then BOOM with the shotgun in the face. One hit kill.
