BangkokRover Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I have just got a new PC and I have not had access to PC gaming for years. Does anyone have any classics that I should be playing. I have been told Half Life 2 is excellent. But surely there should be more?

Glenn Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I have clocked up over a year online on WoW (but I'm clean now, only logged about 20hrs since cata launched, probably not played at all in about a month).
Josh Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 The game where you control a hospital and I believe there's one where you control a Zoo, kinda like Sims. What a game
Clitherover Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 The game where you control a hospital and I believe there's one where you control a Zoo, kinda like Sims. What a game Theme Hospital?
Glenn Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 My mate did some of the music for Theme Hospital. Shame he's a dingle though.
dazmaz Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Depends on the type of game your after and what specs you PC has. Battlefield 2 Sims Sim City 4 + Rush hour Football Manager Half Life 2 is an epic game
rebelmswar Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I liked Dawn of War. Monkey Island (I just started it again, yes I know its old.) Empire Total War is good. Europa Universalis 3 is bangin.
BangkokRover Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 I have clocked up over a year online on WoW (but I'm clean now, only logged about 20hrs since cata launched, probably not played at all in about a month). My name is Glenn and I am a WoW addict Depends on the type of game your after and what specs you PC has. Battlefield 2 Sims Sim City 4 + Rush hour Football Manager Half Life 2 is an epic game Battlefield 2 what a game Sims I have never played that I always thought it was for girls Sim City 4 checked that out on IGN and that really looks good. Football Manager already playing FM2010 and loving it I liked Dawn of War. Monkey Island (I just started it again, yes I know its old.) Empire Total War is good. Europa Universalis 3 is bangin. WOW you must have invested in some serious hours in those games. Not exactly things you can have a quick game off. But I have checked them out on Google and they do look very good.
bluebruce Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 The whole Total War series is excellent (Shogun might be a bit old by now though...Rome is arguably the best, though haven't played Empire yet as my PC won't take it I think). I'd also recommend any of the Civilization or Red Alert games. Oh and I very much enjoyed the Quest for Glory anthology, though the first two are veeery basic graphics now. But that (had the first four games) and Civ 2 ultimate edition both cost me a tenner, and are probably the most cost effective tenners I ever spent. If you discount the way they sapped my youth away.
BangkokRover Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 I have just got in to Steam and I have ordered CIV IV and all its add-ons as it was very cheap. While most people play pirate games here in Thailand I like to reward the companies for producing good games. With all the dross that is out there I am not surprised most people pirate games. While I love the CIV game they are are a serious time killer. Which is great when you have plenty of free time. Talking to time killers I have heard so much about WOW just munching hours with the grind I have always been to scared to stall the game
Rover Down Under Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Command and Conquer Red Alert 2. Played it so much I broke the Soviet disc.

mode_m Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 * Counterstrike * Starcraft * Diablo 3 when it eventually comes out
Majiball Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 How can you have a topic like this and no ones mentioned, drum roll. Sensible soccer, awesome game. PS Monkey Island rocked!!!!
Biddy Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I loved all the LucasArts graphical adventures of the day. All 3 Monkey Islands, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and Full Throttle. All can be relived on pretty much any device through ScummVM. Sierra did some pretty good ones (Space Quest, Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry) but not really a patch on LucasArts. Although in my adolescent days I did enjoy Leisure Suit Larry.
BangkokRover Posted May 3, 2011 Author Posted May 3, 2011 Finished Crysis 1 good game, excellent gfx but the game got very buggy at the end of the game
rebelmswar Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Police Quest is a nightmare, I was shot for stealing glue from a shop. Beneath A Steel Sky is another classic as is Sam and Max.
