Suggest a game to me

BG2 and the expansion are a good buy, because BG2 alone takes eternity before you can finish it (you can skip most of the game though, by only following the main plot.. but wouldn't recommend it, it's less fun, and you miss a lot of l33t items and and events)
the expansion, has some reallly overpowered items though, i mean, a simple merchant in the countryside only has +3 magical weapons as a minimum!! whereas +3 magical weapons normally are quite rare in the D&D realm


Thief is also one of the greatest games you can get, it's original, it's very addictive, and the athmosphere is quite spooky, it sucks you into the game, and the guards say pretty funny things too, the hammerites praying for example is hilarious and, you can't kill the enemies just like that, you have to use skills, and your blackjack which is the most important weapon in the game... one flaw is that it's just too addictive

empire earth -got it here, i have to try it out yet (was busy finishing the AoW2 campaign )

So, SomeOneElse, did you end up buying anything as a result of this thread?

[FrustratedPoet]

SomeOneElse hasn't posted in 3 months, according to his profile.
Maybe he's gone into an extended lurking phase, or maybe one of these games we mentioned was so addicitive to him that he hasn't had time to visit 'poly in weeks.

This reminds me of a monologue from Howard the Duck:

Dude: Arrgghh! I am dead! (In another voice) He's right, now I am someone else.

I'm a bit of a retro when it comes to games. Nothing is cheaper than the freebie abandon games. One to download is Colonization and if you like trading in the renaissance world, Merchant Prince.

If that's the case, I highly recommend XCOM (known in Europe as UFO: Enemy Unknown).

Fallout 1+2 can be bought in a budget pack nowadays. I highly recommend it.

Also I continue to wave the flag of Close Combat 5. What with the small but very alive community and exciting gameplay it's grrrrrrreat. Oh and there are nazi's in it. This can prolly be bought in budget version too.

[Grumbold]

Yes Close Combat III and V are still favourites of mine that get dusted off and played at least once a year.

[The Rusty Gamer]

I've got Close Combat I to III (in one packet). Is V better than all of them? I'd heard IV wasn't that good.

[Grumbold]

IV was criticised partly because you were limited in your ability to move squads around to rest them or send them to another area of the front. V is better at this while still allowing for multiple sector fighting, not just the single chain of missions. Its also more of a balanced game than III which is very tank heavy. The village and hedgerow terrain is much more suited to infantry combat with limited tank support. If you visit sites like JP's Panzers you'll find that most of the amateur mods and resources are for CC III and CC V. I'm glad I own both.

Half Life: Counter Strike. This game is freeking addicting.

Staring at a wall is more addicting

At least for me, though I know a few people who players on a 24-hour day basis

I always preferred TFC. Counterstrike was full of haters. At least there were anti-hater countermeasures in TFC (aka spies, medics, and engineers).
