PC Games you cant live without!!

Call of Duty
Call of Duty: United Offensive
Call of Duty 2

All of the above have an excellent single player campaign :)
 
Fallout 1&2

Had them on every pc for the last 10-12 years :D

Still play them now and still find new lines of dialogue/new ways of doing quests :D


If only they had gone to the original devs and said here's a budget make fallout 3. Rather than Bethesda raping the series :(

What dont you like about Fallout 3? It is one of my top ten favourite games of all time. I never played Fallout 1&2 how did they differ apart form obvious graphical updates?

It's good but it should have been made under any old post apocolyptic name not Fallout.

You had to be specialized.

You couldn't just become a god of everything.

Intelligence judged your ability to speak+option not charisma (that did affect how likley you were to succeed though).

So if you made a 1 int character you played a totally different game as you couldn't really say anything other than "ug" etc.

And while a really charismatic but average int guy could talk his way into an army base he wouldn't be able to discus the technical, details of the super computer in it.


The writing +dialogue +humour was far far better.

You could kill anyone you damn well liked.

None fo this "I'm too vital to the quest to die" crap if you wanted to shoot a guy in the face you could, if he had a quest or was vital to one too bad.

Or you could (directly) kill no one, and stealth/talk your way though every encounter. (with the right points in the right skills.)

Although if you go that option best to invest some perks in bounus move so you can run from ransom encounters :p


They were just better written and didn't really care if the average console gamer couldn't figure out that shooting daddy in the ball sack might impede your progress some.

Oh and you could kill kids in front of their parents.

But again there where strong consequences for doing that.

And that's the main difference consequences.

if Fo3 had been made by them, then blowing up megaton wouldn't have just beena choice of having your apartment in a tower or a scrap yard it would have been between getting a place or just getting money/gun/being told to **** off and shot in the arse.


Overall the writing storey and world felt much more linked and detailed.
 
Currently my most played game has to be Killing Floor - grabbed it for £3.24 or something during the recent sales and haven't looked back :D

Get some mates involved and it will offer many many hours of fun!

Best of all it's not very demanding graphically so should be playable on a 9400GT M ...
