Favorite PC Games?

[jpeirpont]

I love Civilization but I am looking for another game, something that doesnt require any special attachments or software.
What are your favs?

Civilization
Colonization
Warcraft (NOT WoW)
Starcraft
Age of Empires series (empire earth, age of mythology, etc etc)

That's pretty much the only style PC game I can get into.
I did play Deus Ex all the way through, and that was a great game. But I'm not that into FPS.

Most anything from Bioware.

Last time I asked the same question people recommended the Total War series.
The last Steam sale (2 days ago) I bought Braid and World of Goo. Both are pretty good.

How is medieval total war 2?

 

[bbaquiran]

I have Empire: Total War and Rome: Total War (and the Alexander add-on). Both are great, IMO.

This. Also, warcraft3, Team Fortress 2, and portal. World of goo is also fantastic. Not to mention that it's nice to play something that didn't come out of the big studios.

The last PC game I played was Counter-Strike. The fiance (then gf) got me Call of Duty 3 years ago. I wasn't able to install because I didn't have an updated videocard.

Heroes of Might and Magic III and V are great turn based games.

If you like rpgs, you could go back in time and try the Baldur's Gate series and Planescape:Torment.
I generally prefer older games because they focus less on graphics and more on scenario, dialogues and gameplay.
I was playing D&D online with a group and it seemed like playing Counterstrike. The others were killing stuff and my elven ranger was entertaining the group

If you're playing on the PC and like shooters, you could try getting STALKER with a lot of the realism mods to make it much more challenging. Ditto goes for Fallout 3, but that doesn't really feel like a "true" FPS to me, so ymmv.

Of course, you could always go play World of Warcraft if wasting time is what you're after.

Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six and some older SWAT games...
Age of Empires series

I really like the Cash Flow 101 board game (PC version).
