Getting a New PC, essential games?

Gears of war and WH40K: Dawn of war + expansions, awesome games if you love great graphics, action and music and the great thing is you dont need an UBER rig to play them on full details which is great for the gamer on a budget.

I was gonna get RA3, but it has securom so im not gonna touch it. Also is Tiberium Wars any good? I tried it for 1 game and didn't like it, though it did look great

It's fun but if you like that kind of game try supreme commander or universe at war.

My favorite game in the last year has been Mass Effect, really enjoyed it from beginning to end and its suitably better than the console versions.

Selection of good games from 2006-2008
GTA4, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, Gears of war, Unreal Tournament 3, Stalker 1+2, Prey, Dark Messiah, Battlefield 2142, Flat Out 2, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Dead Space, Stranglehold, Mirror's Edge, Fear + 2 expansions, Brothers In Arms 3 Hell's Highway, Mass Effect, Clive Barker's Jericho, Grid, Dirt.

Apparently Call of duty 4 is really good, but I won't pay £30 for it, so will wait until the price drops.

2005 had a lot of good titles so let me know if you want a list from then.

I'm sure it can be had for less than that?

QFE

I'm gonna be missing out on future stuff though cos i found WAR :rolleyes:

I can't see the for sale forum, I do remember reading posts on here before about how you access it, can't see anything specfic now though.

What's the deal with crysis still being £25-£30 and crysis warhead only £15 new? I was expecting them to reduce the price of crysis by now, both games for £30 total would be nice. I'm sure they will bring out a pack with both in eventually but I think the price should be reduced now of crysis, at least for a limited period, it would attract people to both games if they have not already got any of them.

Cheaper game prices is one of the reasons I love sticking with PC, I can't stand it when companies are taking the **** with £30 prices on PC.
