Less and less..

[akil]

hey guys, first post here. i am not really sure what the point of this thread is but here it is nonetheless. Every day i become less and less interested in PC gaming and right now i think that is mainly because i cant find one good game to play. I am right now planning and looking forward to playing SWTOR but that isnt due out for a while. I bought Empire: Total war and played it to death and find myself going weeks without touching it. I guess im just looking for some games to tide me over until SWTOR comes. I do value good story/gameplay over everything else and mainly want something that is a FPS/RTS/TBS. any help would be appreciated

[AdamK47]

Mass Effect

 

[vj8usa]

Civilization IV

And Zenoth, what about C&C Red Alert (the first one)? The second and third ones might not have been that great, but I thought the first one was spectacular (as good as Tiberian Dawn).

 

[Sam25]

Deus Ex 1 and 2.
