The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
I just recently started getting into pc games and I need some recommendations. I have good knowledge about the past few years .. So I would like game recommendations from the year 2000-2007. It can be Multi-plat or exclusive.
Ghost Recon 1 + expansion packs + some texture mods Rainbow Six Vegas 1+2 and Raven Shield TES Morrowind + mods Red Alert series C&C series Half-Life IGI 2 Covert Strike Rome:Total War + Europa Barbarorum mod Medieval:Total War + Stainless Steel mod(though you should first play Total War games as vanilla first) GTA series Max Payne series Civilization series Battlefield series
Check out Steam, they've been doing their Holiday Sale till the 3rd Of January. I bought Bioshock, Medievel II.: Total War, Ghost Mansion, Beyond Good and Evil, STALKER.: Clear Sky, Torchlight, Mirror's Edge and Jade Empire for under 28 Euros. All great games of the last 5-6 years that are Pretty Much Worth Full Price.
Also, try this blog. Huge listings of PC games for each year from 2006 to 2010. Not all ended up good, or even already released despite being listed for past years, but it certainly shows that PC gaming is still thriving despite all the talk of its death, that's for sure. With pictures.
Holy shit! Good luck. The PC gaming library spans over 20 years. I would start with gamerankings, and narrow down your search results to types of games you might enjoy.
My main list would be: anything from Valve, anything from Blizzard, and anything from Bioware.
Don't forget about PC games that go free like Tribes and the GTA games. You can play Sim City online from Maxis I think too. Steam has a ton of old games on sale. One of the great things about PC gaming is that the farther in time you go back, the better the games get (and the smaller requirements it takes to play).
Oh yeah and GOG.com for some old games like Duke3d and fallout 1&2 and you can pick up the Might and Magic set there too.
I might as well ask this in this thread... but Ive playing some games and I love machinarium, braid and portal... Are there any other games like those?
