i guess as long as OCUK bandwith can handle another thread then uhhh yeah good idea....

Maybe better idea to have the average of the user opinions from metacritic because i certainly trust user ratings more than magazine ratings.

Where would i put it?

Updated up to here, added links to all the metacritic scores. Changed format from feedback.

BF2 should be in multiplayer.

Also you have real time strategy, what about games like Sim City 4 etc? Are they RTS?

Doesn't BF2 have a single player element?

You can do offline with bots, but you can with css and tf2 aswell i think.

Its generally Strictly Mutliplayer, whilst CoD4, whilst mainly multiplay does have a single player game aswell.

Teki187 · 11 Jan 2008 at 21:29

Should i sort the category's into alphabetical? Same with the games?

Jack Bauer · 11 Jan 2008 at 21:50

sim city 4 is down as "GENRE(S): City Building, Simulation, Strategy "

Pharohs is another v good city build

First Person Shooter, while it does contain some RPG elements it's always been a FPS.

no metascore for Pharaoh but gamespot has it on at 8.2. Getting on a bit now but if you can get over the graphics its a fantastic game. Canny addictive.

Calexico · 11 Jan 2008 at 22:54

Good idea for a thread though, I could see this being stickyfied.

Suprised not to see Live For Speed in the driving section (hint, NFS series sux mah bawls, hint).

snowdog · 11 Jan 2008 at 22:57

??
U added NFS Carbon but didn't include the much better driving games ?
TDU
NFSU2
LFS

All far superior to carbon imo.

For space simulator I recommend
Freeapace 2: (91)
