Assassins Creed!! Its a great game, awesome graphics, but gets repetitive....
If you like action games in 3rd person, try Gears of Wars...
And rpgs....take a look at Titan Quest, great game!

Definitely RAINBOW SIX : Vegas 2. Awesome game.

I took Vegas 1 from a friend today... man an action game in vegas is just great!

The game Spore recently came out, I think there was a thread on that one. Sounded like a cool game.

Man Far Cry 2 is going to be incredible.


@Iluha - What spec is your new machine?

Battle for middle earth rise of the witch king. Age of III. Grand theft III, Assasins creed, Call of duty 3 and 4, Battelfront 2! i love all these games

Oh nothing special.. 2ghz RAM, dual core with i think 3ghz, and a geforce 9400, dunno how good this is, but it's about 4 times better than what I had before

Yeah that's a pretty good spec machine. I assume you got it for quite a reasonable price?

I'm looking to upgrade my PC soon. As my current one is maxed out completely and with games such as Far Cry now coming out based on multi-core CPUs I need to upgrade.

Looking at this for around £700:

CPU: AMD Phenom 9950 AM2+ CPU
Cooler: Thermaltake Golden Orb II
Motherboard: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe (nForce 570 Chipset, SLI, Firewire)
Memory: 4GB DDR2 800mhz (2x 2GB)
Hard Drives: 500GB S-ATAII 3.0Gb/s
Optical Drive: 20x DVD±RW DL S-ATA Lightscribe
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 896MB
Sound card: Onboard 7.1 Audio
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit
PSU: 650W Thermaltake Toughpower
Case: Coolermaster Cavalier 3
Warranty: 3 Year Bronze Warranty

not a bad deal, and I can always add another GTX260 a few months down the line.

Mine costed around the 500$ zone.. much cheaper than that, that looks like a real beast XD

I just playd through COD4 today, man what an experience, short but sweet.

As a strategy fan:

Warcraft III & Frozen Throne (not 07-08 though)
Supreme Commander & Forged Alliance (!!!)
Sins of a solar empire (!!!)
Civilization IV (!!!)

FPS:

ORANGE BOX!
it has so many awesome games in it, you just have to buy it :b

GARRYS MOD!! it's the best mod for half-life2 ever, if you have any ability of creation, which is pretty likely as we're musicians... just check it's user comments at metacritic:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/...garry%27s%20mod

Some good modern games:

Crysis
Splinter Cell:Double Agent
Battlefield 2
Oblivion (simply brilliant)

Fable!

I'm in love with both 1 and 2... Such awesome games!!

Guitar Pro 5 and some kind of mixing program Better computer games do not exist.

Far Cry 2 is breathtaking, Fantastic game, just awesome fun.

I'd also recommend Fable II as well (It should be out for PC now or soon), And the game I recommend the most is Fallout 3.....Just beautiful.

Civilization and Frozen Throne are still the best strategy games in my book. But haven't been playing for some time

Civilization is great, but not exactly for showing off your new PC.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned one of the best RTS' ever made, Company of Heroes. A truly amazing game with amazing graphics. Buildings collapse and get holes depending on the place where they were hit and stuff.
