    Recommend me some PC games

    Ok will be getting my E6600 PC with 8800GTS card and would like some recommendations to test my PC.

    Mainly RTS or FPS.
    On my lappy was playing CS:source, Star Wars EAW, CoH's and Warhammer DoW series, Command and Conquer Generals.

    Thanks.

    Not being funny to new members but is thread stuck on repeat? Every week we get a "recommend me a game..." thread and frankly its not that hard to work out how to go in a shop and pick a game you like the look of.

    Aye but the point is msr wants something to stretch his machine's legs a little...

    SO on that basis I'd recommend Supreme Commander or Company Of Heroes if you like RTS games, as these both chew processors for breakfast, especially on higher resolutions.

    For FPSs I'd got either with STALKER (depends if you like your combat more along the lines of System Shock) or the venerable HL2, FEAR or Prey in nice high res modes.

    Or, for a real change, try Battlefield 2142... but have a hunt around for a decent server that's not full of nobs...

    FPS: I would recommend checking out Prey, Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, FEAR and Rainbow 6: Vegas.

    F.E.A.R

    Battlefield 2

    Doom 3

    Half-Life series

    Far Cry

    Messiah. Not really an FPS but similar enough and lots of action.


    Oh, and Hellgate: London, when it comes out, looks like it's going to be very good:

    Just noticed no-one has mentioned Supreme Commander. Another great RTS, that will give your system a good kicking. Same goes for Company of Heroes too.
