can you recomend 5 must play PC games?

^^^Epic list of console games on most of the pages above^^^

PC Exclusive games I assume you mean? Here are a few.

~Diablo series
~Starcraft series
~The Witcher series
Counter Strike series
Team Fortress 2
Arma 2 (DayZ as well)
~Company of Heroes + Expansions
Dota 2
~Stalker series
Civilization 5
Total War series
~Half Life series
~Warhammer: Dawn of War series


Those are the only PC specific series I'd consider must play off the top of my head, ones with ~ Have a story mode, quality varies but they are all good by todays standards. Couldn't think of any games with much of a scare factor that are PC exclusives, but plenty of alternatives listed above.
 
FreeSpace 1 & 2 can get the mods to make it look much better now :)
Bioshock
Deadspace
Haegemonia [If u like an RTS]

and I could go on :)
 
Minecraft
Trine (and Trine 2)
Bastion
Total War series in general, my favourites are probably Rome or Empire.
Mount and Blade Warband
 
Monkey Island I
Monkey island II
Day of the Tentacle
Wolfenstein: Enemy territory
Battlefield 2
 
No point getting games that you can get on a console IMO, unless you don't own a console.

If you own a console:

Arma II - free to play the standard multiplayer with the Arma II Free on Steam.

Terarria - possibly the best Indy title out there, I prefer it to Minecraft, personally.

Diablo III - despite all I bash it, its has great gameplay, just everything else about it is horrible.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - while it is on console, playing Skyrim on console is about 10% of the real game thanks to the modding community (you may also want to look into Oblivion & Morrowind)

S.T.A.L.K.E.R (Call of Pripyat, Clear Skies & Shadow over Chernobyl) - the best single player experience on PC in my opinion.


BTW If you enjoy Arma II Free, I'd recommend buying the Combined Operations pack for it, which will give you access to the whole game and allow you to play the amazing DayZ mod (or just buy Operation Arrowhead and use it alongside Arma II Free if you only want DayZ, but the textures are extremely low quality if you don't own the vanilla Arma II).

If you don't own a console:

Mass Effect 1 & 2 (play 3 if you want more story, as it is a terrible game) - Probably the best Sci Fi game available, although I'm sure plenty of people will argue Deus Ex on that one.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - don't bother with any of the other CoD titles, Modern Warfare is by far the best, and easily has the best community of all 1,000 titles.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - although probably better played on PC, i would say that you should only play it on console as it isn't good enough IMO to warrant taking place of a better PC exclusive if you have a console. That is if your strictly looking for five titles to try, don't let anything thats on a console take that place, unless as I said before, you don't own a console.

Minecraft - again, this is on console too, so only try it on PC if you don't own an Xbox.

Dead Rising 2/2.5(Off the Record) - both games are the same price now, but Frank West is too awesome to get 2 over 2.5!

Hope that helps. :)

although i havent played most of the above i cant see a single reason to get the console version over the PC version. minecraft is a complete no-no for the console because of all the mods out there for the PC version (the technic pack makes it a million times better)
 
Certainly Amnesia if you like horror games.

I played for 20 mins and had to stop because I nearly had a mental break-down :(
 
Ok here goes, all great single player games with excellent atmosphere. Crysis would be first on the list but i didn't put it in as you already stated that you intend to play it.

Half Life series
Dead Space 1&2
Batman AA & AC
Bioshock 1&2
Mass Effect series
 
Have to correct my post above, how could I hace forgotten ArmA II (replacing Prototype):

Borderlands
Just Cause 2
Skyrim
Anno 1404
ArmA II

Can't agree with Bioshock 2 - huge let-down.
