Hi All,

ive just got myself a new rig, should be able to play almost anything, but im not sure on what games to go for...

i want something to fill in the gap between now and WotLK release, so about a months worth of play, and then maybe more if WotLK annoys me :p

im mainly into RTS, RPG type games, wouldnt mind a decent FPS game either, as the last one i played was probably Duke Nukem back in the day :p

so if anybody can spec me a good...
RTS =
RPG =
FPS =

that would be fantastic!

bare in mind that ive played nothing with fancy graphics... and now i can!
(about as graphical as it got was WoW/CoH (at a push)) hehe

Thanks :)

RPG - The Witcher enhanced edition, Mass Effect.
RTS - The Dawn of War games. Not exactly new, but HUGE fun, and still looks good in action
FPS - If the last one you played was years ago, there are loads to get through :) Get the original Far Cry and Republic Commando really cheap.
 
well the new rig was for RA3, but thats a while yet.. well just over a month! lol

RA3.. apparently Orange Box.. played portal on PS3 and found that facinating hehe, if not slightly nausiating! (but fun!)

i'll check out Supreme Commander

ive heard many good things about The Witcher, just saw a few videos after it was mentioned above, might give that a whirl.
also Fallout 3 looks pretty cool, was looking at the trailer for that yesterday :)


anybody played any of the new(ish) warhammer games, AoR and MoC ? thoughts?
 
RPG = NWN 2. (I have just bought a new computer too :) ) - Very well written story and much more immersive than I remember RPG's being.
FPS/RPG = Assassins Creed - very pretty and more of a tactical FPS than a run up and shoot everyone.
 
Age of Reckoning is an MMO, I'd see the huge thread about it rather than asking here, you'll just get a flame war.

Mark of Chaos is only ok - looks like a lot of fun in theory, but just isn't that good to play.

Check out Medieval Total War 2 aswell, extremely good game.

yeah thats a good point. MMO's start wars! hehe

quite enjoyed Rome.. whats different about MED2 ?
 
it's in medievil castles and shiz, cavalry. Just different timelines I guess. And scenarios. I'm sure these guys can give a better description though.
 
Might go with WAR Online, although an MMO, it looks quite nice, and if i dont like it, ive got a months play out of it hehe! then its WotLK and RA3 :D
maybe The Witcher or Fallout 3

still stuck on RTS though.... got DoW, big fan but just looking for something more i guess

FPS wise gonna go for the Orange Box and Assassins Creed, ive played a little tiny bit on xbox and its quite nifty
