Recommend a Good Game

[Captain Zero]

There don't seem to be any good games out right now.

Or... I've been living in a cave, playing too much with W7.

Enlighten me and help me push my system.

The Godfather II is rather entertaining, and system demanding. It's a GTA style game, with differences of course.
H.A.W.X. is a military flying/combat game and is a must have imo.
Grid is alright.

 

[holo88]

nope, your in a cave.
nothing worth eyesight yet, this year. im just waiting for bioshock 2

WAIT! fear 2 is friggin sweet, id look into that. that will definitely get the gpu cookin'.

That's a hard call there on a good game depends on what you like.
Right now steam has Call of Duty World at War 1/2 off this weekend.
Its a good on offline and online if you like those types of games.

''DEAD SPACE'', this is a great game & very stunning, graphically

I am still playing Diablo, so maybe I am not the one to answer. But, I have been playing the Red Faction: Guerrilla demo for XBOX 360 and this game is the only game that I have played a demo of where I would buy the game immediately. It is being released in early June for consoles and PC.

I like it because of the innovative Geomod system which allows you to realistically destroy buildings.

id have to disagree. i played it for a while, but that camera view makes game play awkward IMO

 

[Uber Philf]

I agree on H.a.w.x and GRID, there awesome

Grid is the best driving game by far, although I would prefer open world.
Mirrors edge = good
Hawx = ok
Wolverine = good
dark Sector = ok
NBA 2k9 = good
NHL 2009 = ok
PES 2009 = good
There is quite a few more but..............

i have to agree with dead space, its one of the most graphically stunning games of last year, and i find the gameplay extremely satisfying. I got it running on my weak mobility hd 3470 ati card and i can still pull out some serious frames at 720p. Im sure u can run it maxed out.

You should also try this game called Braid. It is one of the most innovative side scrollers aver made..

 

[Shak 10]

Oblivion is class i reccomend that if you like rpgs got it running through my monitor on 1400 X 900 = good.

 

[holo88]

oblivion rocks.

Another good game I'd have to say is Bioshock. that was by far the most fun i had with a game.(cant wait for the sequel)

 

[damoh]

Bioshock - Best ever
Grid - Best driving game ever
Counter Strike Source - Im hooked
Cryostatis demo - looks very interesting.
Wolverine - Awsome
And last but not least, im loving it is Grand Ages Rome lol, if your into that sort of thing.
But Dead Space FTW!!

Oblivion is class i reccomend that if you like rpgs got it running through my monitor on 1400 X 900 = good.

And if you like that, Fallout 3 is the logical next step. My favourite game of 2008.

Fear 2 - Very nice graphically and playable shooter... very low resources needed

CoD 5 - The WWII saga continues... shooter, nice graphics, low requirements as well.

CoD 4 - Morden Warfare war shooter... Excellent graphics, a little heavy on the requirement side but plays well.

Crysis - Another Sci-Fi shooter, graphically intense, HEAVY on requirements

Crysis - Warhead... same crysis different character, better graphics, easier requirements

Half-Life 2... done by Valve... 'nuff said... Need to play it

Far Cry 2... not even remotely close to the Original, NOT made by Crytek, another shameful Ubisoft game, arcade-ish and repetitive at best, it is supposed to be a shooter but you could confuse it with a Car Endurance Race game... play it and you'll see :mad2:

Vegas 2... Another Ubisoft shooter, they call it tactical, I call it a shooter with some hints of tactical, much better graphics than the epic fail Vegas 1 but the plot on this one is just childish at best... it is playable though but the "What could have been if they applied a little more coding" is what gets to you really.

Yep, Ubisoft and I are not playing nice as of late! :roflmao:

I don't play Online though!

This thread is my problem with gaming. I have wanted to get into gaming and every time I try to get advice, one guy tells me "XXXX" and the next guy says "NO NO NO that game sucks....go with "YYYY"" I guess just get one that seems cool and see what I like huh? I am going to build a rig this fall-winter so guess I'll start off with something my new rig can handle and see if I'm a gamer.

 

[holo88]

well, then .... play solitaire for the rest of your natural life. its simple, straight forward, and fun. + it's free

you don't have to be balls deep in an epic online killing spree to be a gamer. some people just like easy-going stuff, just to entertain them for a while. maybe thats you.. :huh:

 

[Captain Zero]

nate42nd, it's all subjective. Ask a crowd what their favorite OS is? Ask them about their favorite ice cream? You'll get a pile of answers. What I hope is to hear about something new or obscure that might interest me. I've been through most of the suggestions here, already. In fact, I re-installed NWN2 and the expansions just for fun. Of course, Fallout 3 is locked and loaded - I only with Bethesda would release a x64 version so I could really push the performance. Nonetheless, I just hope to get some ideas and see what everyone else is playing.

And this thread is exactly what I asked for; opinions.

Without even knowing which style of game you want to play, that makes it even harder to offer opinions. With such broad requests, obviously there is going to get a lot of varied and differing opinions.

Pretty much all the games mentioned so far are good/ok games in their own right.

But yes, choosing where to start can be difficult

Well, you should try a few oldies and classics of each category... dunno, like DOOM for FPS (the first DOOM), Diablo II for nice addictive hack and slash... maybe Baldur's Gate for RPGs... (back in the era when gameplay and story was important)

Anyhow... you could also try the great weird things like Braid and World of Goo~~
