Considering getting a new game...

**Mikeus Caesar** · 06-17-2005, 20:59

The last game i got was Tribes: Vengeance in December, and that proved to be a complete dissapointment, so i haven't touched it since then. For the last one and half years or so, i've played the same games over and over again, and i'm starting to get bored, so i was wondering if you guys could tell me any good games i might like. For a rough description of the games i like, hear are the games i have currently installed:

Tribes 2
Black and White
RTW
MTW
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Unreal II
Grand Theft Auto 2
Lego Star Wars
Transport Giant
Age of Empires (1 and 2)
Empire Earth
Aliens v Predator 2
Sim City 4 (i'm going to buy this with whichever game you people recommend)

So, now you know what games i have and like, can you suggest any new games i might like?

Well I saw your response in the GTA:SA thread so I will not suggest that...

Band of Brothers is pretty good. As good a WW2 shooter as any other with the bonus of commandinf other soldiers. Not particularly detailed but fast, frantic and fun... Plus the added empahsis that everything you do is somewhat based on what happened to the real deal airborne troops during the D-Day landings...

HL2 is a blast too...

Have you tried the Battlefield 2 demo? It is fun, but I really liked Battlefield Vietnam so it follows that I would like BF2...

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is a fun space blast, very pretty somewaht challenging, very good in the begining but gets a bit silly towards the end. Perspective and controls are not unlike Homeworld.

I bought Stronghold 2 a couple of weeks ago, it is a lot of fun but is full of bugs. I would wait for the 1.3 patch before picking it up if I was you...

The lastest version of Pirates is a lot of fun too. Gfx remind me of a more strategic version of Monkey Island. A great way to while away a few hours. Can get repetitive after a time though...

Don't worry, i'm used to repetition. On Tribes 2, we have been playing the same damn map for 2 years. And consider the fact that i play Tribes nearly every day, that's a lot of repetitive play...i've thought about Band of Brothers, but WWII games that actually try to be historically accurate. I prefer games which allow you to blow Nazi StormTroopers and hordes of undeed zombies over the horizon with a giant laser beam. Anyway, i have to go, my computer's making funny noises.

try the newest GTA , GTA san andreas. I have it , it is huge ... so that will certainly keep you busy for a while.
also you can try one of the Call of Duty games ( or other WW2 shooters like MOH ) -since you have RTCW.

Also you are buying Sim City 4. I was gonna recommend that game too.

MOHAA and it`s expansions is in my opinion the best WW2 FPS ever.
It`s some arcade, but there`s no lasers(and I don`t miss them), and the games` getting old.

Perhaps Settlers V is something?

I once borrowed settlers IV off a friend, and that was utterly amazing. I love games with a lot of micromanagement in, as long as it isn't tedious micromanagement. Only problem is, settlers IV refuses to work with either of my two computers now, but i am considering Settlers V. It's just a shame they got rid of the funny cartoony look...the cartoony look was nice.

I've been wasting my time on Battlefield 2 for the last few days. The release date is coming up soon, so i strongly suggest you get it. But if your pc isn't up to scratch, you'll probably have to run it on the lowest settings (i do, and it's no big deal anyway).

I also recommend HL2, but i finished it quickly and it kind of got old...
That said, there are a number of mods floating about.

Let me guess: Katabatic?

Anways, I'd recommend CoD too. It's great fun, though a bit short. And there's a great (though not widely played) mod called www.heatofbattle.net (think DoD)

HL2 is also fun (nothing like killing another player with a toilet!).

Have you tried Mount and Blade? It's real good.

That's an impressive warning level mia muca!

Why not try some of the old classics? Try Deus ex, it so cheap nowadays!

Me too. It was fun.

I do recommend buying settlers V, though I don't play anything but STW anymore these days.

I see a good number of FPS games, but no Operation Flashpoint. This makes me sadf :(

Hey Kek, good to see you! How's army life?

I like Op Flash, I might get Op Flash 2, but at the moment, I'm satisfied with America's army.

Apparently they didnt want someone with Exercise-Induced Asthma (despite the fact I can run two miles), so I spent three weeks in Reception Battalion waiting for a discharge.
