Its that time again...

[Space05us]

Yes the time that everyone loves, helping space pick out a new computer game to buy.

and in case anyone was wondering Medieval: Total War was okay, but it got old fast and has very little replay-ability

[Urban Ranger]

Yup, just as I thought.

Alaska must be quite a boring place.

Do you have any preferences in terms of genre?

[Space05us]

nope no preferences. and yes the part of Alaska Im in is quite boring.

[Felch]

I'm getting Galactic Civilizations. It should be good.

[Rasbelin]

As UR says, knowing the genre would help alot.

[Traianvs]

Soldier of Fortune multiplayer rulez!! but of course, Alaska wouldn't ping very good on European servers

I suggest Age of Mythology as it pleased a wide array of gamers, both the diehards as regular gamers...

Although a diehard like me still thinks AoK had more strategy, AoM has nicer graphics, and cool units and god powers! And a good SP story in my opinion!

I have to say this in every "recomend a game" thread: If you haven't already, play Europa Universalis 2.


1503 is an intersting little sim/strategy game aswell, but hard as hell. (atleast, I find it hard) It's sort of like a mixture between Colonization, Imperialism, and Settlers. It's more building and economy oriented, but there is conquest aswell. (which I have never taken part in)

[Urban Ranger]

I saw 1503, it is any good?

If you have never played XCOM (the original), find it on an abandonware site. It is one of the best games made. Wizardry 8 is also a very good game if you are into the old school RPG's. Of course, there's also Morrowind.

For wargames, you can't go wrong with Panzer General 3. There's also an older thread with wargame recommendations you can dig up.

FPS: UT2003
TBS: Galciv looks interesting
RTS: Warcraft3, or AOM at a push.

[August Borms]

Yeah, definately try out Europa Universalis II!

And I think MoH:AA is still the best multiplayer FPS game around

[Nikolai]

EU2 is a really good choice if you haven't got it! And if you like it, try Crusader Kings form Paradox and Snow Ball, which will come sometime in this year(beta is "just around the corner").

Also, I've heard from friends that C&C: Generals is good, but I haven't tried that one, so I can't give you my own recommandation there.

[Cookie Monster]

If you're into TBS space 4x games then definately get Galactic Civilizations. I have it and love it.

Whatever you do stay away from Moo3. This game is extremely poor in gameplay and presentation. It has no fun factor at all.

[Space05us]

okay after much looking around on the internet I decided to buy Postal 2 and the bundle set Fallout 1&2


I'll have to keep Galactic Civilizations in mind for next time.

[General Ludd]

Postal 2?

[Space05us]

edit:Its something different
