Ok. Am new to all this PC gaming malarkey.

However, I am just speccing out a nice fast overclocked machine with plenty of ram and a 4870 x2 graphics card.

So thought it might be nice to try it out.

Played Unreal many years ago and enjoyed that.

What is your current favourite shoot stuff type game for the PC?
 
left4dead, cod4

dont think tf2 is so special, pretty annoying actualy, ive tried my best to get into it, but no luck
 
Just to let you know they are not Shoot Em Up's , what you are looking for are FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS :) FPS for short :p
 
TF2, Counter Strike, Half Life 2 (for singleplayer) (notice a trend here :P)

I was always a fan of Far Cry as well, bit old but still immense
 
The Stalker games are awesome IMO. However, you will either love them and think they're the best FPS series ever, or hate them with a passion because they're so different to most FPS games.

I thought shoot'em ups were more in the vein of R-Type, Geometry Wars etc? Along with many other Vertical/Horizontal shooters.

I love that genre although have to stick with remakes to get my fix nowadays :(

Would love a modern day remake of 1942 :(
 
As others have suggested, COD4 and L4D are great games (especially when played with friends online!). I have to admit I'm bored of both of them now so I've been playing COD:WAW recenty, which is pretty cool too.

If you haven't played these games yet though I recommend you get them :)
 
Cool. Thanks guys.

Will be checking your suggestions out when the bits get assembled :-)

Team Fortress 2
Unreal Tournament
Left4Dead
Call of Duty 4
Counter Strike
Half Life 2
