Seems like we haven't had a mad release that everyones raving on about for years.

I might have to buy a 360 :p

what a lot of people seem to forget is that the PC doesnt need to have a constant stream of new games released to show off what its technology can do whereas console gamers seem more content with flash gfx over content and gameplay

games like Counterstrike, UT and the Battlefield series have been around for many years with thousands/millions still playing after more than say 5years, with competitions and leagues still going strong

MMo's like WoW, EQ , Lotro etc have millions playing many hours daily for years whilst happily paying constant monthly fee's, with new content being added sometimes freely
Public modifications to outstanding games like MTW , Company of Heroes and the above fps keep interest going
Simulations like Microsoft Flight , rFactor , LFS or Grand Prix 4 are probably the closest you can get to the real thing, again with a constant stream of free additions

So when everyones holy grail Crysis is released and possibly turns out to be a duffer due to hype and the posts about the PC's doom get churned out , the more mature and sensible PC gamers will still be sitting there enjoying the best games ever released on any platform

**if your going to grab a console then get a Wii, its the most refreshing experience in console history since i can remember**
 
Desperately reloading old games that I never finished - Serious Sam 2 last night, but it's as bad as the first time I played it. GTA VC has been diverting, but gets boring quickly, maybe tonight it'll be Far Cry again!

Apart from that, BF2 gets an occasional outing, but even that's getting dull.

I refuse to believe that Crysis has been delayed. No one could be that cruel.
 
i got an xbox :)

but for when my pc was working a few days ago i was playing some source mods, pirates vikings and knights, and zombie master, two great games for free! a bit of company of heroes aswell

too bad my pc wont load windows anymore and i cant find my windows install disc :(

back to forza2 it is then... odd that my pc has died more than my xbox

what games are people playing to keep them occupied until bioshock/crysis/hl2portal-tf2-ep2 etc?
I've got myself a 360 setup :o

I was considering getting an 8800GTX for Bioshock, Crysis, etc... but tbh, I rekon my rig will play those games, and if not, I can play it on my xbox 360... so whats the point! Plus I can get GTA4 for the 360 a while before it's out for PC ;)

The only reason I'm playing a 360 is because absolutely nothing is happening on the PC at the moment :(
 
i got a wii and zelda so thats a fair few hours of gamming for me :)



but I am going through oblivion with the OOO mod + shivering isles & nights of the nine ( should keep me busy)
 
pc games that are keeping me occupied (a bit)
Travian and Battrick. though tbh battrick takes about 30 minutes a week and travian is getting dull.

I would have to say that neither of these browser games task my 8800 GTS very much. roll on bioshock and crysis.

other than that, wii sports and zelda tp.
 
Been playing Rainbow 6 Vegas and Project Reality 0.6 over the last couple of weeks. I have Prey, Oblivion and COH siting there unfinished but i dont feel like playing any of them at the moment.
I wish Bioshock, UT3 and Crysis would hurry up!
 
company of heroes - could play that for 10 years, so much detail and variation in tactics etc

insurgency - source mod

point of existence 2 - bf2 mod

thats the thing with pc, million times better than console for multiplayer stuff
 
COH
Resident Evil 4 (awesome game, gotta use the xbox 360 pad :) ) -there is a mouseaim mod, but i prefer pad but this game
Commandos II
TFC
