Recommend to me some PC games

[Dire]

PC gaming seems to be slowly becoming synonomous with MMO gaming. Anyhow, Fallout 2 is a great classic that wasn't on your list. If you haven't played it, you should definitely give it a try.

I don't play any sports/racing/sim type games so that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Plenty of good stuff out there, especially if you like some older stuff like I do.


Also (this is purely my opinion obviously) if you've only played Baldurs Gate II, you should play the whole series, top 5 of all time IMO.

Furthermore, Fallout I and II ARE the best PC games of all time.


As you can see I play quite a lot of PC games, which is probably why I never leave the house and have yet to touch a woman.

I'm kidding, of course. I leave the house all the time.

Starcraft is a must play if you haven't played it already.

have you played day of the tentacle? you could track down a copy of the cd version w/voice acting.

World of Warcraft if you really want a game to get into. It is very fun.

I bought WoW and used the free month that it came with. It just expired yesterday I think, but since I've got final exams coming over the next two weeks, I stopped... hard to say if I'll renew over the summer since I don't usually like spending my summer time sitting around gaming, but MMO's, WoW especially, just seem to be not much fun without friends to play with who are online constantly.

Go for an RPG or RTS!

You might like The Longest Journey, which was an adventure game in that mold that came out a few years ago. There's a sequel, Dreamfall, that I haven't gotten around to playing yet (mostly because I think my system is too outdated.) TLJ has some serious flaws - most notably, I'd say the puzzle density is slanted way too highly towards the beginning of the game, then gets markedly easier - but a fun story and solid voice acting, for the most part.

If you like turn-based, Master of Orion type stuff, I've been finding Galactic Civilizations 2 to be a pretty good time, and the expansion that just came out is supposed to add some nice depth.

Last chance is spot on, I forgot Starcraft. I guess I assume most people have already played it.

However, if there is one post in this thread that you pay attention to, let it be Leapfrog's.
