Just getting into PC gaming

TheDudeAbides · #1 09-04-2007, 05:39 PM

So I got a new laptop and would love some recommendations on good games. Basically, I'm looking for anything I can pick up for 30 minutes at a time. I'm not into hardcore strategy games, but I remember enjoying RPG's when I was younger. I also liked Civilization when I played it years back. I know it's kinda vague, but can anyone recommend me some good games that aren't too complex/involved?

If you have not played Half Life 2, it is a pickup. Also even older, I thought Doom3 was a real fun game. Ever seen the game Black & White?

I would agree that Half Life 2 is pretty much essential.

Yea I just got a new pc with 3ghz intel core 2 duo and 8800 gts. Currently playing battlefield 2 and cs but I'm looking for some other ones that take more advantage of my setup. Is FEAR any good multiplayer or is it more geared towards singleplayer.

Farcry was absolutely amazing. Really hard game to finish tho, especialy in the harder levels.

Deus ex is also an amazing game. Allthought it`s old for today`s standarts.

Half life 2

Vampires - Bloodlines is a nice game too.
