Having now got a PC capable of playing modern games, I'm now looking for something to play aside from WoW.

Single player or multi-player, pretty much any genre, though "fun" FPS, or RPG would be good.

I'm not going to playing it 24/7, so something that I can pick up and put down would be preferable... something that's not too elitist... no fun in logging in and I'm dead by the time I've worked out which buttons I'm pressing...

Looking forward to your suggestions... ;)
 
Left4dead (it's on steam at a knockdown price at the moment!) - Brown pants time single player and great fun online.

Grid - great racing game, especially if you have a PC/360 controller

Had some great online fun on both :)
 
Cheers!

I think if I was going to get Grid I'd get it on the PS3 - but I'll have a look at Left4Dead. :D
 
Cod4. It has some deadly players, and you will die - a lot. But each time you play a match you earn xp, and that goes towards unlockables. Different weapons, perks, etc. Even if you come bottom of the ladder, you'll not feel your time has been wasted, and you'll be unlocking stuff and earning titles on your first match. Highly recommended, and the single player is great too.

Oblivion, not sure if you've already played it. Great rpg with an even better community of modders. Ignore the main story and strike out on your own and do the side quests. There is a time commitment on this.

Dead Space. Not sure I'd call this 'fun' as it's a survival horror, but it's definitely enjoyable and the best of it's genre in recent times (imo).

Titan Quest. A Diablo clone but very, very good. Can be picked up for next to nothing. There's an expansion for it too which starts off where you ended the vanilla.

Bioshock. Flippin' great. The art direction in this game is superb and sets a great mood. Don't stick to the shock/wrench combo and experiment, it's more fun.

Should keep ya busy for a bit.
 
Heh, well I went a bit overboard since everything seemed such reasonable prices on Steam (and I've still got some birthday cash left over).

Titan Quest Gold
The Orange Box
Left4Dead

I don't plan for any of them to take over my life, but at least I've got some choice now when I do have the odd hour to lose. ;)

Cheers for all the recommendations. :D
 
I'm not a huge fan of FPS games, I can't get on with most of them but these are the ones I'd recommend:

Left4Dead is fun, played that for hours last night :)
Bioshock is well worth a look.
Orange Box - there's a HD update (about 20gb worth!!) that makes the aging Half-Life 2 look amazing.
 
Portal.
Still THE stand out game for me, was not the reason why i bought the Orange box and wasn't expecting too much from it tbh, but it is such a fresh, fun game, anyone who has not played it is missing out on a classic!

ahhh... someone who's played BF2 !! Was just looking to buy this a moment ago, already clicked buy button, just didn't proceed to checkout as I'll be away most of the time this week. Whats your opinion about this game?
 
Left 4 dead is a great team game and i highly recommend checking it out.

Never really got into BF2 myself, punkbuster never seemed to like me and i always found myself getting kicked. Never solved that problem. Is it really worth playing?

How long you got ? :D

So...

When I say it is the best online FPS bar none I mean it, Nothing even comes close to a full on 64 man infantry only battle on BF2. Personally I live by my posted words & have played BF2 since 1 second past 9am day of release & still play it today, More than that it is my Number one game & I have Many titles laying about to choose from including a crap load of 360 titles.
Untold people on these boards will testify to my Continued Love for this game year after year. Some have left & come back but not me, I have lived & breathed this game since the second I first played it. Fed up with 1 class then I play another, Fed up with Infantry only then I go vehicle server. All those that take there gaming seriously know that BF2 is the Best online FPS bar none, Anybody that thinks otherwise will have an alterior motive for not liking BF2, It could be they got Teabagged brutally & just cannot stomach a Decent fight (:D)or it could be they are to Stupid to get there system to run it properly even though it's a 3 year old game(:p), Either way I have No time for people who do not respect the fact that BF2 IO is the Best online FPS out there & has been for years. :cool:
Some things in life are just Fact & BF2 IO as Number one Online FPS is one of them. :D
