  • Games, Games, and More Games

    I'll be getting a PC soon, and I was wondering what games I should buy? I'm not used to such a big selection of games, considering I've always been a Mac user, so I think I'll need some help. I like RPG's, MMORPG's, and FPS'.

    Deus Ex is a very good one - a sort of hybrid of RPG and FPS, and it's very cheap. I saw it at my local EB for only $10.

      Too many games. In those genres I'd pick out:

      FPS

      Half-life
      Deus Ex
      System Shock 2
      Halo
      No one lives forever 2

      Depending on how good your machine is you can reasonably add:

      Doom3
      Half Life 2
      Far Cry
      Unreal Tournament 2004

      RPG

      Neverwinter Nights + expansion
      Baldur's gate 1 and 2 (haven't played this myself yet)
      Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

      MMORPG:

      Read the MMORPG thread!

      That should be enough to start.

        Pretty much all the really good games are available on the Mac anyways, i think.

          For MMORPGs I would look into Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, or City of Heroes. Not guaranteed enjoyment - and I haven't played the second two - but those are the best in general, I think.

            Your last chance to play Half-Life if you hadn't already. In 2 weeks when it's out, buy Half-Life 2. I can assure you that game will get game of the year awards from every major gaming site.

              Am I the only one silly enough to wonder why Half-Life 2 isn't just called Life?

                  ..or 0.25 Life, depending on how you read the equation

                      You can get MoO3 on the Mac, I believe.

                        This is what I might get so far:

                        FPS:
                        Halo 2
                        Doom III
                        Half-Life 2
                        Far Cry

                        RPG:
                        Star Wars KotOR II
                        Neverwinter Nights
                        Possibly Morrowind

                          KOTOR2 and Halo2 are not out yet; you'll have to settle for the excellent originals.

                            They'll be out in around two months, and ten days, respectively. I'll be able to get both of them.

                              Don't get Half-life. With Half-life 2, you'll get the original Half-Life with the brand new Half-Life 2 engine.
