Is it me or is there a lull in good PC games at the mo? I'm primarily a FPS fan & there are none or repute that i haven't played thro. (waiting for F.E.A.R. & Stalker) There's just sod-all about
Tempted by Guild Wars (Ferral's uber review's got me interested), but I rarely get more than an hour at a time to play games & it's prolly not worth it with quests & such? So the odd spot of Evil Genius is all i'm left with.
Where for art thou great new PC games? I'm goddamned bored!

I've been regressing in my games lately - dug out Far Cry and patched it to the 64-bit version with the exclusive content and slowly playing through it agin, and got a couple of copies of Civilization III plus Play The World which is sucking up a few hours now and agin
Before that it was the latest version of Railroad Tycoon.
At this rate I'll be playing Oh No! More Lemmings, Manic Miner and Pac-Man in a few weeks
Actually, I just recalled that I occasionally rediscover Hit Man Contracts which I got free with my x800, and that is good for the occasional mission, a different pace from the usual "shoot everything with extreme prejudice and malice".

I've re-played XIII & RTCW recently. I'd forgot just how good they were! Played Far Cry, Doom III (& Resurection of Evil) & HL2 too recently to warrant a re-play. Played Bloodlines thro 3 times & got bored of Silent Hunter III. Riddick was too easy & too short but at times brilliant.
Maybe I'll give KOTR a go, maybe Guild Wars...
Im stuck on riddick, got to the part not to long after the eye shine.
Managed to dodge loads of those guys in the battle suits and spoke to the guy i need to help and weee
Dude
i might play NFSU2 some more, need a game that will test my pc after i format tonight, any suggestions????
Dude
Doom III/ Far Cry/ HL II should do it.
go and buy the No One Lives Forever games, if you don't have them
classic PC FPS goodness
I do have NOLF II kicking around somewhere, maybe give that a replay
Have you considered:
Boiling Point: Road To Hell
Might be something to while away the time while you are waiting for stalker. PCGamer says its a bit buggy though, but can be good fun.
Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.
Yeah, read that. Can't be any more buggy than Bloodlines & that was excellent.
I've been playing for about an hour at a time on Guild Wars this past week and a half due to being at work loads, however last night I managed to get a few hours in !
Its a big game Oid mate, will keep you going a while, Guild is getting pretty big now also so theres plenty people about to help out. Well worth getting, gets you hooked ! Also like someone mentioned, quests etc dont take overly long to do, missions dont take any more than an hour either so its manageable.
I will also recommend a few decent games that I still have now instead of trading them in :
TRON 2.0
Mafia
Call Of Duty and Expansion
Star Trek : Elite Force 2
I know they've been out a while now but are decent nontheless, TRON is absolutely huge, Mafia is my all time fave PC game, Call of Duty is superb and I have to admit Elite Force 2 is damned good blast also.
On a final note, Pariah isnt to bad, if you just want something to pick up and play and have a blast with will keep you occupied. Its kinda like HALO, not quite as good however, but ok in its own little way !
Extremely underrated game IMO
Played Mafia, CoD & Elite Force 2 (superb game). And not to mention Soldier of Fortune II.
Maybe I will take the plunge into Guild Wars & get Boiling Point & Tron at the same time. Will shop around at lunchtime.
Me too
Tron 2.0 - 8 player multiplayer Tron bikes -and lots of fun.
RTCW was soooo good.
I agree there's a dearth of good FPS atm. Waiting for Serious Sam 2 personally.
Thought about revisiting some of the HL1 addons?

We need a decent FPS Story driven in depth game. Like how they used to be. Where you felt like everything was personally effecting you.
