Spec me a game!

[_PD_]

Hi there,

Need a game to play to while away a couple of spare hours here and there (mainly the time between getting my ass out of bed an going out...).

I have LFS S2, so that fufills my racing needs.

I would be interested in a modern combat game - loved Far Cry but am now bored of it, and had BF2 but lost it (but still have the special forces pack, so would consider a re-buy). What's Half-Life like? And Call of Duty?

Also enjoyed playing age of empires many years ago, so if that is still based around the same kind of formula, I'm up for that.

I will be playing singleplayer, not multiplayer on these. PC Spec is up to anything at OK settings.

Anything I've forgotten?

Cheers!!!

Buy HL2 omg supadupamegapack through steam, let it destroy your Net connection for a few hours and play some of the finest games made :>

Pardon?

He doesn't want online games though. CS:S comes with bots but the magic of it is playing online.

How come you don't want to play multiplayers Cobra? Best gaming mate.

Because I really cba with the network problems that I always have (due to being wireless), I just want to snap my keyboard every time it goes juddery.

I've heard about Rome: Total War. Does that allow you to "advance" to the modern age, or is it all ancient bows and arrors stuff?

And I remember Quake 2 now, that was ace... Is Quake 4 similar to that but better graphics etc?

FINALLY, out of COD, HL2, CS etc, what is best? I want a game I can pick up and play, single-player based, and a bit of a storyline wouldn't go ammiss.

EDIT: Oh and I played the fear demo and pooed myself. But I don't like "dark" games, like Doom 3 and FEAR, because I tend to sit squinting at the screen, wondering whats going on, and shooting at shadows. It's not really something I can pick up and play, if I just want to shoot stuff for half an hour. If you know what I mean.
