(Medal of Honor: Allied Alliance)

By far one of the most intriguing, realistic FPS's I've ever played. I love it.


MOHAA kicks ass! Best FPS I've played in years!

What do you suggest then? I'm looking for a interesting game that has pretty graphics and great game play.... what have you enjoyed?


Umm i would wait to see if you like GTA3 & also NeverWinter Nights SHOULD be a good game. Neverwinter Nights comes out June 16th I believe, other then that i think we are pretty much out of luck my friend.

Unreal Tournament 2003 should be coming out within the next 2 months but, the first one didnt have much replay value so i doubt this one would. It will have excellent graphics though.

I'd say go for Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The single player game was simply okay, but I admit it had AWESOME graphics. On top of the single player game, however, the multiplayer is arguably the funnest game available now. You'll be getting two games in one with that.

Rollercoaster Tycoon is a great and addictive game, but it isn't going to push your video card to any new heights.

I also find myself going back to Command & Conquer a lot.

Duke Nukem Manhattan Project looks pretty neat, but I haven't heard anyone's opinion of that yet. It's cheap, at least.

Deux Ex might be a good game for you. It's a shooter with some RPG elements. Got game of the year honors a couple years back.

Fallout & Fallout 2 - EXCELLENT and cheap RPGs
Fallout Tactics - More tactical, same source

Dungeon Siege - Nice mix of tactical and RPG elements. Multi- features a different relam than single

IGN has a review for that up. 8.8. Not bad. I might have to pick it up if I get enough money.

Unreal Tournament 2003

(this coming from a console gamer, since FPS belong to PCs, and UT is the only PC game i play)

Jedi Knight II is an awesome game...
Warcraft III is pretty interesting right now, especially with some of the 'mods'. When this game goes retail, I believe it will have huge potential a lots of replay value.

CS 1.4 is one of the best patches that came to CS... it made all the lamers go away. :D

DO NOT buy Dungeon Siege, boring dull slow and repetitive.
DO NOT buy morrowind, boring, whole bunch of nothing.
DO NOT buy SoF2, damn that game just flat out SUCKS.
DO NOT buy Serious Sam 2 if you are looking for a game to keep you interested, it is pretty much a LAN party game.
GTA3 was fun on PS2 but it got a little old after a while for me but still the best game outta these lists.
DO NOT buy Return to Castle Wolfenstein, boring not enough variation. Nothing to keep it fun.
MOHAA is a niche game if you ask me, i didnt like it but i did not loathe it either, if your into that type of game it wouldnt be a bad idea to check it out like get a demo or something.

I'm sorry but you evidently haven't played half of those games and only like playing half life and the mods, i'm sorry but, "DO NOT buy morrowind, boring, whole bunch of nothing. HAHAHAHA did you even play it? morrowind is one of the most non linear games i have ever played, has soooooooo much stuff to do it'll take so long to beat it if you do everything, and it actually uses new technology.
Sof2 just SHIPPED today, so i doubt you have played anything besides the MP demo test with one very small map unless you are a warez man.
Serious sam 2 is fun because its a fragfest nothing less than that, so much stuff to shoot at and beautiful graphics.

Get Warcraft III. It's very fun IMO. Morrowind is nice if you really like beautiful renderings that much. GTA3 will get boring very fast IMHO because of the exclusion of the multiplayer feature which made GTA2 fun. I'm waiting for Star Wars Galaxies...still a long wait but I think it will be worth it. Especially with the Morrowind + Sims-style gameplay on a multiplayer world and nice graphics (from what I've read and seen).

Actually yea i have played them all. Morrowind is non-linear, that doesnt make it fun. It IS a whole bunch of nothing to me. I didn't like it, get over it.

Solider of Fortune 2 was pathetic at best, i have played it.

Serious Sam 2 i said was cool for a LAN game, fun fragfest & nice graphics. I still wouldnt recommend it though unless the guy lans a lot.
