[briantheman890]

Hey
Im just wondering what games you guys would recommend for PC. Just got mine finally up and running how I want it. But now am clueless as to some games to scope out.
I got Fallout, Dragon Age, Resident evil 5.
Not really a fan of rpg's dont ask why I had em, I dont know.
But yea, opinions would be good. Thanks alot

Hey... if you do not want those RPG's.... i will provide you with a PO Box here in the states and by all means... just drop them in the box, sir.


You should try Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.... If you want fast pace action!

Get Steam and watch for deals.

I would recommend Batman Arkham Asylum, Borderlands (FPSRPG), Left 4 Dead 2. If you like poker, try out PKR You can play with play money, it is a neat 3d take on online poker, though it seems to occasionally have network issues (they're servers can't really handle more then 14K players).

I take it you want those games
Yea i was contemplating left 4 dead 2. That game is sick for console and my brother says its good for computer. Was thinking modern warfare 2, but I have that for console.

As for borderlands, I wanted that game, until i went to a friends a few days ago.. and imediatly lost interest.

You won't be maxing out those games or playing at high resolutions - a 9600GT is pretty weak. Here are games I would recommend:

Grid and Counter Strike Source.

 

[briantheman890]

yea i got source. I was contemplating getting grid, but not sure how much fun with a keyboard that would be.
Probably plug in a 360 controller and play it like that

Steam fails. Steam is a good idea. See a game online, buy it, download it, update it, play it, download stuff for it. But, it fails. Steam is a great idea but is implemented horrifically. I own Portal, All the Half-Life's, and Team Fortress 2 and download times are BAD! I dread even updating these games because it will take me 1 hour each even with the fastest internet connection. Steam offers a nice interface, online store, and a lot of content (L4D is epic!) but updating and downloading games and content such as movies, trailers, mods, ect. sucks. I don't want to update something every time I wan't to play it when I know it works with my system.

Example: Just spent 15 minutes downloading a Steam L4d Trailer on to my Laptop. I unplugged my laptop to go sit on my couch and watch it. Turns out, even though I downloaded the video to my hard drive, I need an internet connection to watch it... :shock:

Left 4 Dead 2 For sure.

 

[jim84]

You can disable automatic updates. Steam works great for me, and it must work at least somewhat for the other 2 million users who are usually online at any given time.

Get a better laptop or connection then. I get a solid 512kb download speed for games and other stuff on steam.

yea bioshock is one of my favorite games, i beat it for xbox and was contemplating buying it for PC considering it is only $20. But I figure I will wait a month and just get the second one (which looks amazing)

 

[SlackerITGuy]

- Left 4 Dead 2
- Killing Floor
- Shattered Horizon
- Red Faction: Guerrilla
- Battlefield 2142 (still going strong, even after ~4 years).

 

[jim84]

Killing Floor, really?

 

[SlackerITGuy]

Yup.

Very entertaining, especially with 5 buddies/players.

EDIT: I even bought the Characters Pack lol.

EDIT#2: The Defence Alliance 2 Mod sucks though... Big time.

yeah any driving game is going to be pretty unplayable on a keyboard but the 360 controllers work great. for pc gaming you pretty much have to grab some good FPS games like MW2 just for the experience.
