OCUK Recommended PC game list

[Teki187]

This idea came around after viewing and making many threads about recommend me a game etc.

So i thought to help everyone out, we could all contribute the games we really like, then create a list and keep it updated.

Example.

RTS - Age of Empires 3
FPS - STALKER
ETC....

The numbers in yellow after the game name is a Metacritic (Click) review, which are clickable. They collect reviews from loads of gaming websites/magazines and averages the scores to give there review.

puzzle: Peggle, luxor (my wife loves em)

FPS: F.E.A.R, F.E.A.R: Extraction Point

[Cr0fty]

I think Multiplayer / Singleplayer would be a good idea for FPS.

TF2
COD4
Dawn of War - Rts
Vietcong (OLD!) - Fps.
Adventure ...Freelancer
Rpg - Kotor
Driving - dirt.
It's not great by any means. but it's good for a few races

 

[Sinque]

Why not make the scores hyperlinked to the review?

 

[Teki187]

Updated.

Nymins, TPS = third person shooter?

 

[Teki187]

Why not make the scores hyperlinked to the review?

Was just about to do that

 

[Teki187]

Is F.E.A.R. Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate multi player only?

 

[Jack Bauer]

no, single, and dont put Perseus Mandate in. Its the worst excuss of a game Ive played and I like F.E.A.R. They did a half a*** job with it. Extraction Point is possibly the best however.

 

[m0r94n]

Adventure
Dreamfall & The Longest Journey



Also, where would Thief 3 fit on this list? Adventure, RPG, FPS?

 

[Nymins]

Updated.

Nymins, TPS = third person shooter?

Yea 'tis

 

[Teki187]

Yea 'tis

Could you list a few more third person shooters, just to make it worth adding the sub category.
