So I've just built my FIRST gaming PC!

And now I need some games!

Any recommendations?

So far I plan on getting:
Deus Ex
Space Marine
Battlefield 3
Assassins Creed Revelations
The Orange Box

Thanks!

Portal 2!

That'll keep you busy.

Fallout 3 and NV plus both the Mass Effect games are great but you need to invest the time.

Is that the original Deus Ex you've listed?

Crysis/Warhead/2, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2... all a must for their eye candy.

Bioshock, Borderlands, Company of Heroes, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Starcraft 2, Batman AA... there are too many to name really, it's definitely worth going through the back catalogue of highly rated games. I spent my first couple of years of PC gaming doing this.

Nope the new one, I'm guessing I should play the first one as well?

F1 2011, Dirt 3, Trackmania2 Canyon, Tombraider underworld, Now add to your hardware..... Nvidia 3D vision, 120hz monitor and make sure you got a fast nvidia gpu to power it.

Minecraft / Project Zomboid

Dont get too mnay games in one go otherwise you will end up not playing them properly.

King Damager · 10 Oct 2011 at 11:47

When it comes out, go for Skyrim. I'd recommend Oblivion, but Skyrim is so close now it's not really worth it...

Also, get a steering wheel then get:
F1 2011
Dirt 3
Shift 2

Go wild

I would get 1 game to play to christmas then go crazy on the Steam christmas sale

Kosmiche · 10 Oct 2011 at 12:25

Trackmania 2 - watch some videos first though I don't think its for everyone.

Zinth · 10 Oct 2011 at 12:39

Mass effect > mass effect 2 !
Rage
Crysis 1/2

Keep an eye out for Steam sales. They're not as good as they used to be, but there's the odd bargain to pick up. Highly recommend the THQ pack on Steam - got mine for £26 a couple of years ago, cash to playtime ratio for that package is the highest of any game or collection I ever bought.

Get too many games to play and you won't enjoy playing any of them...

Pick 1 and stick with it till you've finished.

Left 4 Dead

L4D2

It's got all the L4D levels plus more.

Orange Box, obviously. TF2 is still imo the best team-based FPS. And if you like Portal, Portal 2.

The new Batman, and the old. Maybe watch out for deals on them as a Steam bundle.
