I haven't bought any new video games in a while, and now that I have finished my new comp (see sig) I'm rarin to get one...what should I get...suggest your favorite new titles. Anything goes...I'm open to all suggestions.

Some popular choices I may go for:

HL2
Doom 3
Far Cry
WoW<--not really down with the monthly fee thing
I know there are more...I've been outta the Computer Game loop for some time🙁

Definately. :thumbsup:
Both are EXPERIANCES. Much more than just simple video games.
You feel different after having played them.



yeah i have HL, and i loved the multi player especially CS
 
Guild wars is almost out if you like mmorpg and it has no monthly fees but it's a diablo clone for the most part so depends if you liked diablo. 😛

Half Life 2 owns. But so does Far Cry. Why do you make me choose! Buy both.

p.s. Far Cry is only $19.99 at Best Buy.



19.99...dang...I may have to pick it up for that reason alone 🙂

Not to sure how support and such will be for a free monthly mmorpg so probly best to wait on that if it's important for you.

Isn't Far Cry optimtized for Athlon 64 systems...I think I read that somewhere...but don't quote me on it...not 100%

Well with the system you have it's not going to matter that much, your fps will still own even if it's not.

there is a new 64bit version of far cry that has huger maps, better stuff, and i think it looked better
 
HL2 - Heh was pretty fun but i hated the steam loading, unlocking, and of course, the stuttering. Those didn't stop me from beating the game in 4 days... 😛
WoW<--not really down with the monthly fee thing. Well once i realized 15 bucks is like two meals outside the house, i decided why not. i go to 1 less movie a month, and go out to eat one less time a month, and i've actually ended up saving money. The game itself definatley has charm, and i'm enjoying some of the endgame. I admit though : this has taken over a larger chunk of my time then i'd prefer. I'm not sure i could enjoy this just casually playing like i did with the next thing i'm going to say..
Rome: total war - Not sure if you are into the RTS thing at all, but i enjoyed this title and perhaps it's worth checking out.

Far Cry - came with my graphics card... haven't played it yet >< i have seen a couple buddies playing it and it looks wonderful, love that lush environment. When i get my 20in widescreeen lcd, i might pick it up for the eyecandy, and to play over the summer when i'm bored. but unfortunatley i bought WoW and it is a cruel unforgiving mistress. It doesn't like when i cheat on it with other games...

Doom 3 - this title i didn't enjoy so much. Gamplay just wasn't there for me, though i did think it looked amazing and that it definatley is something. I'm not sure i would pick this title up though given the choice again

hope you enjoy farcry, i should get on top of playing it ><
cheers.
