Basically as title, I generally don't have too much time to play games so am a bit out of touch.
However I'm not working atm so have recently finished GTA VC, Prince of Persia and NFSU.
I am into most genre's (except FPS - never really got into them) so whats out there that any of you peeps reccomend ?
thx.
ps. I'm currently considering going back to my former addiction, civ
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but i'm no mod anyway.
i recently went for Unreal Tournament 04, but fps' aren't your bag so i suggest Rise of Nations, which is similar to Civ but has more of an RTS feel. Google it for reviews and see what you think
Knights of the Old Republic has been recommended to me, and it looks pretty good.
how about C&C generals...quite a good laugh, esp in current political climate (nice one westwood!)
or even Medievil Total War/Shogun Total war? I got medievil one for my bro as has shogun already...awesome game, quite a bit to learn in terms of dynamics etc but hte epic battles you can have are fantastic!!

I absolutely love the battles in Medieval: Total War. Nothing quite like watching your calvary charging across thousands of men, watching castle walls fall and slow troops falling to your archers. Plenty of tactics to use as well, so good if you're bored of mindless strategy games then I'd heartily recommend this one.Originally Posted by shiato storm

CIV III all the way!

I bin playin Nwn for ages now, and their Xpacks =)
also try CnC generals, ace game
Hmmm, play have medival total war with viking invasion for £17.99 and Nwn with an xpack for the same price, can't really justify both ........... as well as toca rd2
Cheers for the input guys, I'll have a bit more of a think before ordering.
by a wide margin the best game i've played recently was Prince of Persia Sands of Time, so you're gonna have a hard time beating that. You don't say whether you're interested only in recent games, or whether you can go back a bit - if you're after a classic, look into Baldur's Gate 2, System Shock 2; recewnt titles worth a look include Broken Sword 3 (for fans of the series, anyway), Worms 3D
and if you can stomach an FPS, look at XIII, Tron 2.0, Unreal Tournament 2004
Broken Sword 3 & Star Wars: KOTOR are both superb games although it is a shame that the PC version is single player only, (unlike the Xbox version).
Besides that not a great deal out at the moment if you don't like FPS.
You could try FarCry, i know it has swayed a lot of people who aren't FPS fans into trying and loving it!

NOTHING TO BE SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG PLEASE....
:: of all the things i've lost i miss my mind the most ::
yeah!!!! this game is the way to go!! such an awesome strategy game. I got totally absorbed in this and had to uninstall it in the end as i'd played it non stop for a week ( and i mean non stop!) The music is cool to
If your are into anything medieval or the crusades etc you'll luv this game to bits
I can recommend Operation Flashpoint GOTY edition and Morrowind GOTY.
both of those are good bargins on great games, very open ended choices. sometimes morrowind can feel a bit like a rambling simulater but that only means that when you get action and battles, it really feels like you've worked to get there.
Age of Mythology! If you like real-time strats, you'll love AoM. Plus, I recommend the expansion - Titans. Seriuosly cool to see these giant mythical monsters walking around taller than building in gloriuos, beautiful 3D splendor. Watch as they send groups of regular units flying, or pound away at one another.
Having said that, even without Titans, the original has so much depth, creativity and innovation, plus diversity, suiting all types of play. Better than the C&C's, because too often strategy went out of the window and it came down to build a mass of units and send them in - most units wins. Not so in AoM - build your army carefully - and your navy!

Rise of Nations.
It's the shizzle nizzle, as annoyng American children might say.
I'd go with Age of Mythology. I prefer this to Age of Empires due to the setting.
Prince Of Persia Sands of Time is excellent, Mafia is just amazing all round, currently playing Mafia through again. Splinter cell Pandora Tommorow is really enjoyable game as is Hitman Contracts (Albeit Contracts has alot of rehashed levels from the first one). Knights of the Temple is pretty good if you want a Medievil Hack & Slash game (Done by the people that done Enclave so its very similar).
