    Recommend Me a Game Please :)

    Right, I am looking forward to 3 days off in a row W00t!!
    What I thought was as opposed to the typical WoW grind, I might try somthing else (gasp shock horror - ardent 2 year player!!)

    Ive just trotted over to PC world and seen the following:

    Rainbox 6 Vegas
    Gulid Wars Nightfall
    Supreme commander

    All a little different, have loved BF2, Max Payne, Oblivion, Baldurs gate, Eve, Half Life 1/2 etc etc. Have not palyed a RTS since dawn of war, which I liked, but don't like it much more complicated than that, and I don't like squad based shooters - I think Vegas is single player????

    I do like the idea of trying guild wars - but is it too similar to WoW (would be prob playing solo most of the time)

    What do you reckon guys, any other suggestions would be ace.

    I would ideally like to run at my monitors native res (1920x1200)

    Hope I am not asking too much

    What about vietcong!(purple haze edition with fist alpha disc) or even vietcong2. I used to play Vietcong a lot online until V2 came out then Dl'd the V2 demo wasnt impressed (think they tried to copy BF2 with the unlock features, but dont think they pulled it off to well).

    Oblivion? 3days off? maybe

    Company of Heroes and Medieval Total War 2 have been my games of choice recently.. if you liked DoW you'll find CoH very familiar in terms of command and control..

    Far Cry is excellent, seen FEAR but never played it (though it's supposed to be very good indeed.)

    My thoughts exactly. Ive got purple haze and regularly played online. I tried the VC 2 demo and it was not a patch on its rivals out at that time

    I have heard good things about COH, but is it pretty hard, Sounds a bit of a cop out but I find RTSs' that are TOO challenging a bit of a,well err, bore

    FEAR is good, intense, good stealth, no real puzzles, but the Max Payne style slo-mo is nice. The Extraction Point expansion's also good & they've both come down in price.

    Plus, if you feel the need for a bit of multiplayer action, Fear Combat is free if you've already purchased a copy of the game.

    FEAR combat is free even if you have never brought FEAR.

    You mentioned you loved Max Payne... that include 2? If not go and get that now

    Have both 1 and 2, and loved both thanks m8

    Think I've decided on COD2, liked first one, and been a while since I played a WW2 shooter, will I be able to run it at 1920x1200 do you think on a 1800XTX256 ?
