3 years of pc gaming to catch up on...
- Thread starter SixTwoSix

Everyone has said pretty much everything, heres my list though
HL2 Episodes
Portal
CoD2 online
TF2
CS Source
DoD Source
Crysis
Company of Heroes
Oh and btw, CoD4 online is the most boring piece of crap ever, single player is probably worth playing though. This is coming from someone who used to play cod2 at the highest level, notiably reason gaming and was in the uk lineup

I'd recommend:
COD4 - Single player, in my opinion, was awesome
TestDrive Unlimited - XBox 360 gamepad required really (in fact get a XBox 360 pad anyway as they're superb)
Flatout Ultimate Carnage - Superb - again with the 360 pad
Mass Effect - Superb game can be a little repetitive though
Gears Of War - Really fun shoot em up - hard as nails in parts though
I wouldn't bother with:
RE4 - boring - nothing like its predecessors - its not like some generic rubbish rather than a decent game
STALKER - over-rated in my opinion - enclosed playing areas and poor gameplay
Assassins Creed - looks nice - but the last time I played it, it was buggy as hell. It's a game where after 30 minutes you've seen it all
All IMHO

How do you connect the xbox 360 gamepad to the pc? I have 2 wireless ones which I gues I cant connect?
DO I need to buy a wired one which I guess is std USB?

No you can buy a wireless convertor for it from a well known jersey based company (or the well known auction site).
Mines wired at the moment but the wireless ones work just as well.
Edit: search for: Microsoft Xbox 360 Crossfire Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows should cost £12.99

Id have to say all of these games have had decent reviews and are definately worth at least checking out before ruling them out. Resident Evil 4 was a class GC game so I doubt the pc differs much, perhaps mouse aiming makes it easier of course...
RE4 was an excellent GC game, but i hate gaming with a controller so never stuck it through, now I have a PC that can run it i'll definately be giving this game another shot
Call of Juarez 
- Found the demo pretty terrible! Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is pretty bad as well.
HL2, COD4, Battlefield 2, Company of Heroes and Oblivion are all must play PC Games, so I'd put them at the top of my list if I was you!

Seconded, I upgraded to play that game looking its best (MX440 to X1950XT
)I also vote Bioshock, as it's awesome!
I nearly gave up during that mission where you're controlling the AT gunship or whatever it was, only lasted a few more missions before going MP only.
Eh? That mission gave me the creeps, just makes you realise how modern warfare is a detached computer game, where the guy pressing the buttons doesnt have to see limbs blown off and people cut in two with a gattling gun.
COD4 boring?
RE4 on PC needs a gamepad to work best also makesure you get the official patch as the game looks much better with it.
Then get these improved cutscene videos as well:

Also lots of other good mods on that site including ultra high res textures, skins, weapons, gamepad button gfx, Fake HDR Mod & lots more most improve the games looks a lot.
