    Question New PC games

    I have just finished building my new PC, (with many faulty parts and bad heatsinks) and have decided that i need some new games to go with it.
    I already have Medieval 2 Total war, Rome total war, KOTOR 2, Half Life 2 GOTY edition, and Unreal Tournament 2004... wat to get?? i dnt realy have too much to spend here - maybe 50 quid max...

    I have been looking at Company of Heroes because it is supposedly such a good game, and the Collectors Edition is at GAME for 15 quid

    I also had my eye on Rainbow Six vegas, because...well, it just looks so cool... its at gameplay for 18 quid, so i have a little to spare - another game if i push it.... but what to get??? I do like the RPGs for the story, but the combat is so tedius, and i heard it features hugley in NWN2, so i thought i'd better give it a miss..... tES4: Oblivion is supposed to be good, but im not so sure about it...

    You can't go wrong with Company of Heroes

    It's one of the best games I've ever played, and probably the best RTS, aside from Settlers II.

    NVN2 is very, very good, I love it, fantastic game, if you go though reading and listening to all the dialog and story, theres probably as much of that than there is combat. So much better done than NVN1 as well IMO, I liked NVN1, but after playing NVN2 it's seems really bad

    COH
    Far Cry
    Quake 4, Prey and Doom 3 are all cool, use the same engine.

    If you like RTS, I would have to recommend the Dark Crusade bundle with dawn of war and winter assault. I have sup comm as well but really that has not been able to draw me away from dawn of war. The graphics and animation in it are great and it will show off what your PC can do.

    the problem i have with games like that are the fact that you only control one unit at a time.. with CoH and Medieval 2 TW, you control squads or groups or whatever they're called...

    I believe most people will enjoy Oblivion if they haven't play Morrowind beforehand. It's a great game. Rainbow Six Vegas was actually quite good, one of the best FPS I played last year. Other stuffs I recommend are Dark Messiah, Gothic3, Blood Money, things like that.

    You'll want to be looking at this other thread on exactly the same thing: http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=99910

    But yeah, CoH and Oblivion have got to be the best 2 games of the past 12 months. Not to be missed. If you like multiplayer shooters, BF2142 is a must try really: http://battlefield.ea.com/battlefiel...Demo_News.aspx Also, I have to add dreamlords, as I'm really liking that game - great PvP RTS action with added browser based long term strategy. www.dreamlords.com
