Hey guys, I recently got a new computer and now I can finally RUN modern games on it.

But I read through several recent games reviews, and all say that most games preety much suck tongue.gif

So I was wondering if anyone could suggest me a good recent(2007/2008) game which is worth my money and my time smile.gif

My current vice is Diablo 2 its old but its very very good and addicting smile.gif diablo 3 is also coming out in the near future and it should be a hit as well. As far as first person shooters i will go with Battlefield 2 by EA it has awsome online modes. As well as Battlefield 1942.. its older but its a classic. Counterstrike Source is a great game as well. The last series ill recommend is the Command and Conquor Series. I rescently bought 12 command and conquor games in a 1 box set for maybe 40$ canadian? It was a bargin and me and my friend havn't really stopped playing. If you want really modern then my only recommendation which has been getting alot of notice is WoW. but i don't touch RPG's unless its diablo so i wont give any advice weather to get it or not tongue.gif

Thanks guys, I think I'll give COD4 a shot smile.gif

Yeah, it's awesome biggrin.gif

If you really want to test your system, I suggest giving Crysis a go. It came out about a year ago, but is still arguably the most graphically demanding and system draining game on the market.

It got excellent reviews, but I've never played it... I may have a fairly top end laptop for 2008, but it still won't play that game!

Mmm modern pc. Day of tentacle series, strcraft, diablo II, and some mame emulators.

Really? I didn't really like that one, and I LOVE RPGs...
Weird.

I love all games like Baldur's gate, morrowind, oblivion, fallout etc etc!
Power_Arctica
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.

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?

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 tongue.gif
Duncan
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:

Some good modern games:

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

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

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 tongue.gif
Pavlov
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.
