RobBright 35 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 gamespot.com, ign.com, metacritic.com and giantbomb.com can all help you out. Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Right yes I can easily find review websites for games. But I don't want that as they overwhelm me. I was asking for personal recommendations from people here. Do you have any? Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I play a number of online mmorpg's. For a good free first person shooter I'd recommend America's Army 3. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Well click on the sort button to do a list from high to low. How do we know what to recommend to you if you don't tell us what kind of games you like? Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 I also know how to do that, RobBright. But, like I think I said, I am asking for personal recommendations not a website to go to. I'm not quite quite what part of that you don't seem to grasp. Tell you what, just don't bother posting if that's all you can say on the subject. Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 DumbStick, not everyones cup of tea but Rome: Total War is a very engrossing game. Civilization 4 as well. These games take up a huge amount of time if you get into them - BE WARNED! Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Yes Fallout 3 has a great reputation as well. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 World of Warcraft is the ultimate game though it will wreck your social life, wrists and eyes. Link to post Share on other sites

midnightcharger2 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Im personally in the middle of SAW the video game. Kinda fun if your into the movies and like puzzles. Should have modern warfare 2 in the next few hours, looks great. The xbox 360 controller works with many of these newer releassed games, Many times its just plug and play and way you go.

klingon 10 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Hey anyone use or heard much about gamersgate or use steam? Reading up online now but wondering if anyone here had any experience? Never really thought of it before but might be good when games aren't available here. Looks cheap too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I used to love "How To Be A Complete Ba**ard" on the Spectrum 128k as a lad Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few games from Steam. Works very smoothly. Link to post Share on other sites
NutteyCubey 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 If you like point and click type adventures/puzzles, try Machinarium. I enjoyed that. Link to post Share on other sites
gaijindrifter 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 If you wanna lose your life to games, play World of Warcraft (never played it personally however) If you're into strategy, I recommend Age of Empires for a quick in and out experience, or if you want a deeper experience usually lasting a few days+ I would go with anything in the 'Total Wars' series. My two favorites in this category are Age of Empires 2/3, and Rome: Total War. I also highly recommend Command and Conquer, though lately the series has lost it's edge. If you're into shooters, go for any of the new Call of Duty games. I personally like Medal of Honor best of all for story and 'feel', but have never been a fan of their online component. Another great FPS is FarCry, and if your computer is as badass as you say it is then you should really try the new one on full settings! The trees man!!! THE TREES!!! If you prefer offline RPGs I strongly suggest the Elder Scrolls series, very indepth though very open allowing you to do whatever you want. Though it's been awhile since I've been seriously into games (since coming to Japan, all my money's gone into cars and snowboarding x_x) I think most of these titles have remained strong and it's worth it to check out any of their releases.

js 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Similar to you, I've got a new computer that is one step from being water-cooled. Found a game that will really make the cooling fans on the video/mother board cards work overtime: S.T.A.L.K.E.R 'Brothers In Arms' will also give it a good work out.

bobby12 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The key point is the quality and polish of the game, not the graphics (though they help). For me Lemmings was probably the best game ever, thinking in those terms. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Steam - hmm - generally ok but sometimes sucks re: modern warfare 2. On occasions if the release date on steam is different to the shop release date, then you can't get it from there. Modern warfare 2 came out this week, out on steam now, but as Japanese version isn't out till end of December, you can't buy it if you have a Japanese IP address. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I had a bad experience with Steam. Bought one game with cc. OK. Went back to buy another and it simply wouldn't accept it. Same card. I called the cc company up to see if it was frozen or anything and they said that there hadn't even been any requests for the payment, so seems for some reason my account was the problem. Sent in a support request a few times but didn't hear back. Link to post Share on other sites
