I havent really been into PC games for a while. I was really into some PS2 games. And now that The Sims 2, and Half-Life 2 are coming up, I want to get back into PC games. So, can you guys name some PC games that are worth playing. Thanks in advance.
Well my computer sucks so I'm usually stuck with the games that don't require updates and high-end graphics, which means a lot of RPG and RTS games.
Off hand I'd suggest:
Baulder's Gate I & II
Neverwinter Nights
Rise of Nations
C & C Generals
Diablo II
Age of Empires 2
Age of Mythology
Civilization III
Homeworld
Black & White
Warcraft III
Call of Duty, the original Half life, Doom 3, Far Cry, Age of Empires 2, Warcraft 3, Diablo 2, UT2K4, Jedi Outcast and Academy, Batlefield 1942 and Vietnam, Deus Ex.
Fallout
Fallout 2
Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic
No One Lives Forever
No One Lives Forever 2
Unreal Tournament
Unreal Tournament 2004
XIII (no, really!)
Sacred
Master of Orion 2
half life and all the mods. CS especcially, you dont even need the cd to play. just find a cdkey.
unreal 2004, diablo 2 =], doom 3 =]. call of duty, starcraft.. warcraft 3. anything popular is fun. but try out different genres of PC games. see which is more fun
[quote name='Sartori']Quest for Glory Anthology (The "anthology" might just skeet in to the 8 year time line)
Star Wars Rebellion
Star Wars Jedi Knight
Diablo
Diablo II
Daggerfall
Fallout
Fallout 2
Starcraft
Monkey Island Series
Civilization III[/quote]
Wow I didnt think anybody else played quest for glory.. but yeah its a great game for RPG/adventure lovers. Grim Fandango is great as a story based game as well as King Quest Series.
[quote name='Lootr2Core']no one lives forever a must
diablo 2 a must
neverwinternights the hours of playing time is amazing (add in the mods and it isunbelievable!)
that pirates game was awesome.... especially on the NES.... which is the only one ive ever played it on... or i dont even know if that is the game you are talking about... still it r0x
most of those games are great but i've gotta say deus ex and systemshock 2, and guess what? systemshock 2 is abandonware so you can play an awesome game and still be a cheap ass http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=3924
I haven't seen this for a while, but one EA games bundle included Freedom Force, a need for speed game, a command and conquer game, and Earth and Beyond for less than the price of your morning cup of coffee (If you like coffee that's $20)
Also if you can please tell us the genres that you like. I've seen some great games, but it would really help if we knew just what to look for.

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War
Civilization 3 and possibly its two expansions
Rome Total War

It's hard to pick any one of those above all others, but recently Dawn of War has been drawing me in.
Anything developed by Bioware is more then worth the price. Look for those games (Baldur's Gate 1 &2, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic).
