I have 50-60 to spend on games along with this lot:

BF2: SF + other 2 expansion packs.
EVE Online sub.



What else should I get?

Far Cry? HL2?

Anything like Gran Turismo 4 for the PC? I have LFS S2.

Anything WW2/Race that is good.

Go on spec me up ;)

3.6ghz C2D + X1900XTX so not PC limits ;)
 
i would get:
Company Of Heroes- best rts around
bf2142- its great fun doing a couple maps when you only got a short time on your pc.
Neverwinter Nights 2- this game is great its got a great story with moral decisions that effect the game.
Oblivion- i dare u to ramp everything on max with hdr+AA see if your nice rig copes ;)
 
At the moment i'm enjoying WoW as always, and BF2142

Just installed DoD:Source and CS:Source and quite like those, and am just installing Call of Duty 2 as I type this, heard so many good things about it. (Loved the Single Player on the Xbox 360)
 
doom3

if you ever played aliens v predator game of old, doom 3 provides similar scares. i.e dark enviroments where things jump out at you and scare the pants off you .can get if for a tenner now. well worth it and will run great on todays rigs.
 
BF2142, thought about it, if its as buggy as BF2 is :/

Oblivion, never thought about it, will have a ponder.

Far Cry + something still.

You can buy a Far Cry Expansion pack :confused: whats that about?

WoW is ****, i'd never buy it. Wrong type of thing for me and mates that played it say its full of moaning kids. I have EVE for MM games.


What about the buy HL2 and get CS free or something? :confused:

Dark Age of Camelot, just returned to it from WoW and playing on US classic servers, such a breath of fresh air after WoW and so many nice Europeans playing there. I did play Eve for several years but I finally got very bored of it and gave it away to a mate.

I'd definately say that you'd have to try Oblivion and HL2, I wasn't a huge half-life 2 fan but there are parts of it which are exceptional.

If you haven't played the original though, get Half-life. It'll fly on your PC and frankly the storyline is still ace :D
 
There is no farcry add-on, seen it advertised some places but I don’t think it exists.

if you are looking for an FPS go for FEAR or Faycry.


Counter strike source comes with HL2


I got BF2 SF the other day and wouldn’t recommend it, as for the boaster packs I don’t think there is enough new stuff in it to warrant the purchase

Battlefield 2 £14.99

Click to expand...

What you on about? MY rig copes with everything on max, no reason why his wouldn't.

Oblivion is a good choice
HL2/CSS also good.
FarCry is excellent and looks gorgeous.

1701 AD - Nice looking game, it's similar to stuff like Age of Empires or Empire Earth. There's a great demo out and the game was released this weekend.

Dawn of War + expansions/sequels.

Farcry and FEAR.

They expansion pack for Farcry was canned I think, a sort of sequal came out, but it was only on xbox :(
 
Nah don't buy FEAR - rent it.

You will be bored before you reach the end and I'd be surprised if you ever played through again.

Enter room. See bad guys. Hit slow-mo. Kill bad guys. Leave room. Repeat.

Speak for yourself. :rolleyes:

I've played through the original 3 times already, and am currently working my way through the addon. :D
 
To each his own :D

Graphics are great but they're all wasted on repetitive gameplay and no storyline worth mentioning.

FarCry and HL2 are vastly superior, even if the graphics aren't as good.

More different opinions!
Personally I think HL2 was mundane and each level really dragged on due to how unexciting the combat was. :p

At least we both agree that Farcry is great :)
