Find me the uber game...

[K22]

I'm in the process of building myself a 'new' rig. Not new in technology terms, but new as in I don't have it built yet! I'm not a huge gamer, simply because I easily tire of most games I try. But I know that there MUST be games out there, modern games, which have a classic SOF/Delta Force/Max Payne feel!

I tried F.E.A.R., Far Cry, Ghost Recon, COD, Bioshock, COH and more, but couldn't get into any of them. They were either too repetitive or too hard! I like that 'arcade' feel, but want the uber graphics. I'm asking for some suggestions, something I'll like, and something that'll show my PS3 buddies that I'm better than they are

Will be running 3Ghz Opty and 7900GTX only, so be sure to recommend something I can run!

Thanks all, K22

The Orange Box is the most fun I've had in so so long. 'Uber Graphics'? Well it's got cell shading so not the most realistic graphics, but it looks really anyway the games show off the PCs simply better gameplay

You could have a look at UT3, that's got the arcade feel.

I love COH but it's more of a 'serious' game lol, lots of micro-ing involved. I just managed to complete a match without losing a single unit (well, lost men in units but not a whole unit).

Team Fortress 2 is just so awesome though!

COD4

I know you've tried COD, but with the modern setting number 4 feels more like SoF, but more arcady. Try the demo

sounds like a job for stranglehold to me, actually. not my cup of tea, but definitely fits the max payne bill

[Optical668]

Trackmania, Flatout 2, Doom3, Quake4, Need For Speed Most Wanted, Portal, World in Conflict..

[K22]

Thanks for all the replies so far. Most of the games I've never heard of, so I could be in for some gameplay delight! First investigation is Stranglehold... let's hope it's a good'un!

Chronicles of Riddick? Last game i've enjoyed.

[stuck]

just get cod4

[DecomposingStar]

COD4 fits your bill, especially with its "arcade mode" when you complete the game, and it's multiplayer is quite acrade-like.

If you want to "wow" any console goers, you need Crysis on full settings

Don't try the demo of COD4, it will put you off. I didnt like the demo even though everyone says COD4 is great.

i'm increasingly finding this is the case - i didn't like crackdown or blue dragon in demo form, but enjoyed the full thing

[K22]

Thanks for all the suggestions, hopefully something I'll like is hiding in amongst them! K22

Another vote for Team Fortress or COD 4. I love the graphics and general game play of COD 4.

In the bargain bin, try to find these, as they are different to current suggestions:

Black and White (the first one)

If you like DUngeons and Dragons style games, but don'tr want to get lost in a huge world, try IceWind Dale

If you want to practice on 3d shooters, but don't know if you'll like them, try Half Life (the original)

For fun, shooting annd laughs try
MDK 2 (that stands for Murder Death Kill 2, but it's amusing, honest!)
------------

to be scared try:

The Thing
Clive Barker's Undying

and retry FEAR, because it's worthy.

-----

And if you want realism in flight sims, buy IL-2 1946, ,and a Saitek Evo joystick.

actually i agree with all of those. MDK. What a classic. And The Thing is like the only movie-->game thats actually any good.

Although none of the above will wow you with graphics, apart from FEAR, maybe. But i thought FEAR was a hunk of burning ****.
