Need some PC game suggestions

[darkshark]

Getting my 3rd computer built and running finally tomorrow. This one is my GPU workhorse, with 3 GTX 560 Ti's, and I definitely want to throw a few games onto it...but honestly I'm SO out of the loop when it comes to computer gaming now, so I don't really know what's good anymore.

The stuff I ordered came with 3 free games, Lost Planet 2, Just Cause 2, and Mafia 2, has anyone played these?

Suggestions please ! I'm really into RTS games, so I'm likely already getting SC2, and the last game I bought was Star Wars Force Unleashed, so I have no idea of games that came after that.

Force Unleashed for PC is a joke

[Zageron]

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Amnesia, Half Life games, The Ball, Super Meat Boy, Mirror's Edge....

Yeah. And Portal 2 when it comes out.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Portal 2.

And if you feel like waiting till November, get Elder Scrolls.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Warcraft 3, Command and Conquer Red Alert 4( I am not sure about this game never played it ) and Civilization 5

This x100000

I honestly couldn't get it to run more than 3fps except on the Hoth level, where it ran at a screaming 12fps. I'm hoping I'll at least be able to hit 30fps with the new setup haha. Other than the horrible performance though, the game is still good.

I've heard some REALLY good things about Amnesia, haven't ever been a fan of Half-Life though =/
Portal 1 was fun as hell, so 2 is a must have. Isn't super meat boy a flash game?

Just Cause 2 is one of my favorite games lately. The shit you can pull in that game is hilarious. It's also host to an extremely active modding scene, which opens up fun possibilities like tethering several small airplanes to a jumbo jet and watching them fly circles around each other, or tying several vehicles to a windmill, only to result in the grapple physics accelerating vehicles to lightspeed. I kind of forgot about it until last week, when I picked it up again and then oops where did those twelve hours go oh right I tied a bad guy to a plane and rammed him into cliffs. The amount of fun things to do is pretty staggering.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is the best C&C game.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is really fun.
The Call of Duty games are great, for singleplayer and multiplayer.
Unreal Tournament 3 is fun for some fast paced FPS gaming.
Bulletstorm was really entertaining but don't buy it, it's only like five hours long. Perhaps try downloading it.
Dead Space.

Uhhh...

Serious Sam 8)

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

I have Tiberium Wars, along with all other versions of C&C except C&C4.

I'm going to go torrent crazy tonight and download all of the games mentioned so far haha.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

I've heard Bullestorm is good, I'll be getting that on Friday.

Also Homefront when it comes out 3/15, I've been waiting for that one since last summer.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Yeah, JC2 is brilliant.

Hmmmm, you should get Borderlands on the PC if you can. Pre-order Portal 2 and get Portal 1 (assuming you don't already have portal, that's a great deal).

TES IV: Oblivion. IF you don't already have it on PC, get it. Usermods FTW! Ditto for Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

Burnout Paradise is well optimized for PC rigs TBH.

Unreal tournament 3 (see if the Unreal Deal pops up again sometime, you can get the classic ones, and the more modern UT3 for like $10 or something).

Crysis/Crysis Warhead. I haven't actually played Warhead yet, but it's supposed to be good. A decently high-end rig is not complete without Crysis.

Recettear is a brilliant game, though rigs like 5 to 10 years old (and hardly powerhouses) could run it no prob XD

The Bioshock games as well. Bioshock 1 occasionally pops up on sale and is only $5 then (at least, that was the case the last few times).

BTW: My rig is a Core i7 3.06GHz, EVGA GTX 570 in dual SLI.

I played Crysis once, it does have a certain graphical quality to it, but I don't really like the way it looks. The gameplay itself is really boring and uninteresting as well.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Crysis just seems like a good way to test your system out, I don't think anyone seriously plays it. I downloaded a few games (UT3, Crysis, MW2) but when I went to build the pc, woops the mobo doesn't fit in the case I got rofl, so I have to go buy a new case today.

Bioshock 1 and 2 seem really awesome, those might be worth getting.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

What cases are you considering? The Corsair 600T fits any size mobo (Except XL-ATX boards). It's a rather large case, but it's quite nice. I have one and I absolutely love it.

Re: Need some PC game suggestions

Well I had an old case, but it's FRIGGEN MASSIVE. It's a Dell server case that is designed to house twin CPU mobo's. The motherboard itself fits with ample room to spare, but the rear panel doesn't line up at all.

I'm split between this case
