Ok I completed my new build a couple days ago so I'm ready to try some higher-end games. On my old PC I was only able to play CS 1.6 at about 30 frames :P So I would like some good ideas for new games for me to try out. I'm more a fan of first-person shooter's and possibly mmorpg's, but I'm willing to try new things, so any recommendations?

My new spec:

Vista Ultimate x32
Asus P5KC
ATI X1900 XTX
2gb RAM

Thanks

Counter-Strike 1.6
Day of Defeat: Source
Half-Life: Source
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Half-Life 2: Episode One
Half-Life Deathmatch: Source
Quake 3 / Rocket Arena 3

I hear Half Life 2 is good, comes with Counter Strike Source as well

Oh you've already got that :p
 
:D I bought the Source pack and it came with all the HL2, etc. not played them tbh. I play CS 1.6, CZ and DoD:S
 
Yup I was really thinkign about buying CoD2, may go in to town tomorrow and see if I can get it cheap. Is FEAR online multiplayer, I get a bit bored on singleplayer games. Thank you for the recommendations.
 
Not really high end but Doom 3 & Quake 4 are quite fun. Prey is excellent fun, makes your head spin at times :D
 
I was thinking about Quake 4 too, I used to be addicted to Rocket Arena 3.

What in you guys opinions is the best war online multiplayer? Trying to decide whether CoD2 or BF2 is worth paying money for when I already have DoD:S, is there maybe another multiplayer war game thats worth the money?
 
It's no Quake 3, but it's fun in its own right.

Battlefield 2 or 2142 would be a good addition to your collection too, they'd run like a dream :)
 
another suggestion would be if your finding it hard to choose, almost all of the suggested games have downloadable demo's, google is your friend :D

ags
 
Ok I woke up with a revelation this morning :P I remembered that I used to really enjoy puzzle adventure games, such as the Broken Sword series and Terry Pratchett's Discworld, is there any recent released games that fit the same style that you would recommend?
 
No new ones worth mentioning aside from Dreamfall: the longest journey, however aside from the excellent storyline the gameplay is a bit lackluster. The original The longest journey while quite old now is still one of the best point and click adventures to date.

There are broken sword 3 + 4 but they really arent that great.
 
Battlefield 2 is an excellent game and better than 2142 imo plus project reality mod has brought new life into the game.
 
Get Final Fantasy VII i no its old but theres well more then 90hours game play plus its fun game with a realy good storyline
 
Been looking for simlar games to Broken Sword and came accross these ones:
Secret Files : Tunguska
The Black Mirror
Barrow Hill

Anyone played any of them? Just looking at the technical spec for The Black Mirror and it states "rain, fog, storm effects"! lol, how hi-tech and modern :P
