    Any game(s) suggestions

    Hello All

    I'm looking to get a game (or games) and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions? I get bored of games fairly quickly so the more engrossing the better. Don't have any preference to the type of game either, just something that will keep me occupied for a while! Doesn't need to be a new game either. I also have a 360 too.

    These are the games I already have:

    FM10
    World in Conflict
    Total War series
    SOASE
    AoE
    Civ series
    C&C
    Starcraft
    Dragon age: Origins
    C&C series
    Warhammer 40k series
    Oblivion
    Max Payne's
    COD: MW2
    KOTOR

    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Cheers

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    COD:4 you carnt go wrong with. I would recommend the STALKER series as well and lastly see if you pick up assassin creed cheap before the second is out for PC. Or get it on Xbox as its already out.

    See you have FM10, so you must like football. PES or Fifa?

    A mate at work has been raving about Aliens vs predator that's out today?? That's only £17.99 @ play.com

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    These have all been the most captivating for me..
    Bioshock 1, Fallout 3, Fable 2, both Mass Effects as Jasp said and Dead Space.

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    Batman Arkham Asylum if you haven't played it, it was one of my favourite games of last year and you can get it for less than twenty quid these days. Dead Space, Mass Effect and Dead Space as have already been mention are all top notch.

    Also, I'm not sure how good the PC port of RE4 looks compared to it's Gamecube counterpart (I remember it being a little shoddy looking) but if you don't mind slightly dated looking visuals that's a cracker as well

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    Fallout 3 - excellent game with so much to do.

    I ended up getting the original in a sale, and liked it so much I went out and purchased the GOTY edition (as it was cheaper to do this then purchase the expansions separately).

    If you do end up getting it, do not just go through doing the "main" missions, there is so much content in the game that you'll miss out on if you do.
    Also, if you get it for the PC there are some really nice (unofficial) modifications for the game that expand it even more.

    Other games that I have liked recently are: Assassin's Creed I & II, Gears of War I & II.

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    Other than the obvious games, give Drakensang or Risen a go for the PC if you want a long engrossing gaming time.

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    Left4Dead 2 but Mass Effect 2 would be a good choice as well I think.

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    Neverwinter Nights (1, not 2!). You should be able to pick up the Platinum edition (main game + 2 expansions) dead cheap and it's a fantastic RPG. Have a look for Dungeons and Drangons: Dragonshard - it's somewhere between a team RPG and an RTS: have played around with it a bit and it's quite good fun. Also, the more recent UFO series (Afterlight / Aftermath / Aftershock, iirc) are quite fun if you can get them to work (they're a bit tempremental) - squad based combat missions + a research and resource management element.

    Re: Any game(s) suggestions

    Hey Guys

    Thanks for all your suggestions. In the end I picked up Mass Effect 1 and working my way through that and then will get the second one when completed. I also saw that Batman Arkham Asylum was £13 on steam this weekend, so got on that too.

    Hey Piggeh, you managed to escape or you still in Morden? Actually, I don't mind it too much; think it gets a bit of a bad press really! I think a band made a song called Morden, basically saying how crap it is!

    Ganley's and then the chip shop by the station. You can't beat it!

    On a more topic related note, has anyone played Silent Hunter 3? I see it's on steam for a fiver, but was concerned that it might get a bit boring and samey. If anyone has played it, please let me know what you think.

    Cheers All

    I played silent hunter 3. I loved it. But if your not interested in subs or the history of it, there can be alot of patrolling and not doing alot.

    But it's a real tactical game, especially as many of the ships you spot you may just have to watch go by as you can't get in a position to shoot.
    Or that if you spot a destroyer, should you take the risk to shoot at it? I have done, and died. And have not, and died...... Easier with the electric torps they don't see coming and the homing torps though .

    That being said, there are some great mods that'll add to the game no end, best of them i think GWX.
    But if you have Vista, i'd stay clear. Real pain in the back side to get working, although some have. Most can't (including me) don't know if it'll work with win 7 though.
