Just got PC what games should I get?
I got my own PC about a month ago and I have already played all the Halo's, Grand Theft Auto's, Call of Duty's and Half-Life's. Now I want to by some more games that are really good like those. Any suggestions?
Amount of space or power needed to run isn't an issue, I have a very powerful computer.

Well if you have Half-Life, there's a SLEW of great mods for it. I suggest Age of Chivalry, Insurgency, Smashball, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and there's a bunch more if you know where to look. I also suggest Empire: Total War, or any strategy games for that matter 'cause they're usually better on PC than consoles.

Re: Just got PC what games should I get?
I assume you are interested in some singleplayer FPS action, huh? Well, how about Doom 3? I have also heard Crysis is pretty good, and although I never really got into F.E.A.R., some of my friends speak high enough of it to lead me to think that it deserves a mention. Oh yeah, since you are here, in a "pseudo-Star Wars fan-site", I think you are the kind of person who would also enjoy Republic Commando.DarthHamster wrote:I have already played all the Halo's, Grand Theft Auto's, Call of Duty's and Half-Life's.
EDIT: Fallout! Can't believe I forgot about it.

Re: Just got PC what games should I get?
Yeah, but that's, what, 24 gigs of space to play? If you like tinkering around and doing anything, go with GMod for Half Life. You can get days of enjoyment out of that one.

Not a problem, I've got plenty of space in my hard drive.Master of Stickmen wrote:Yeah, but that's, what, 24 gigs of space to play?
Would that be for Half-Life 1 or 2?Master of Stickmen wrote:If you like tinkering around and doing anything, go with GMod for Half Life.

Re: Just got PC what games should I get?
Thanks for the tips everybody. I just got Fallout 3.
I've only played 30 minutes of it and it is almost exactly like KOTOR 2 (accept for the plot).

Re: Just got PC what games should I get?
Only days? Any really good game should get you a ton of enjoyment, and GMod is no exception. I still play it sometimes, and I got it more than six months ago. But if you get it, you have to be prepared to pack down your hard drive with probably 3+ gigs of addons for it, some are just that fun.Master of Stickmen wrote:If you like tinkering around and doing anything, go with GMod for Half Life.

Re: Just got PC what games should I get?
If you get GMod, you may end up getting those two simply because it's annoying not to have access to so many cool gmod addons that require those games. I'm getting TF2 just for that, especially since GMod now has TF2 spawnlists by default.lesovikk1 wrote:team fortress 2 and counter strike source or any steam related products. Awsome games
