Far Cry, just looks incredible if your PC can handle it.

Unreal Tournament 2004 contains by far the best vehicular combat of any game out there. Easy to pick up, and impossible to master because you can always do something better. (Besides, who doesn't want to drive a car that has 15 foot blades shoot out from each side to cut down opponents? )

Oh yes, how about this for a deal:

FREEDOM FIGHTERS $10 at Best Buy. Buy this game.

The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"

Mr.Deflok

That my friend is a fucking sweet deal! Listen to Jimmy4, BUY THIS GAME!

I just finished Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. The PC version is solid, and multiplayer looks kinda cool.

I wouldn't pay $50 for the single player campaign alone. The production value is rather high, but the level design loses steam as the game progresses, and the game is kinda on the short side (though it's kind of on the medium side for games these days.) A gamer of decent skill should finish it in under 15 hours. I'm not sure how long it took me, but it couldn't have been any more than that.

So, I give it an 85%. My main complaints are spotty level design, and relative shortness. It's strong parts are a good storyline, a good mix of action and stealth, good graphics, and solid gameplay. It really has its moments.

I just rented and beat prince of persia the sands of time for ps2 and I would highly recommend this game to anyone. Its old, but if you havent played it, its definitely worth a look.

inferno360

Chronicles of Riddick:Escape From Butcher Bay.
It's true: It's the best looking Xbox game out right now.

Up and coming, I recommend:


MMO:
World of Warcraft (PC)
Everquest II (PC)


RTS:
WarHammer 40k: Dawn of War (PC)
Armies of Exigo (PC)


RPG:
Fable (Xbox)
KOTOR II (Xbox)



I've either played, tested or seen first-hand all of the above games, and they are quite impressive.

EDIT: Except KOTOR II... I haven't played or beta'd it... but I mean, come on... it's GOTTA be good, right?

If you want to get a great RPG game that is a Diablo 2 / World of Warcraft style game, get Guild Wars. It was supposed to come out in September but it got pushed back until late this year/early next year. Get it, it's going to be a great game with developers who used to work for Blizzard.

ncr39p

Still far and away my favorite game is Deus Ex. The first one. Totally brilliant. It's all about sneaking up behind some poor unsuspecting guard and clubbing him in the back of the head...

The best part of that game is that allowed you to solve all the levels in a wide variety of ways - You could be all stealth, or screw it and go all out guns blazing... or totally avoid conflict.

Also, any game that lets you customize your character, growing your skills as you progress gets major points in my book. It allows for excellent replayability and adaptability to each player's distinct style.

So, if you haven't played Deus Ex, get it. Enjoy.

biznatch

MGS3 all the way when it comes out, its gonna be the BOMB!!!

Mr. Munchy

Nothing beats Halo xbox LAN action (until Halo 2, but I digress). Oooh that or playing Battlefied 1942, everyone should give the demo a try, it has the best level in the game and there are still 50+ servers for it all the time. Also, America's Army is an extremely solid FPS simulation (http://www.americasarmy.com/) and is free because it's a recruitment tool.

biznatch

Farcry for the ragdoll physics...CS: Source(out now) and Unreal Tournament 2004 (non stop fun...crazy in a LAN)

DarkPho

Beyond Good and Evil.
On the short side, but it's cheap and a hell of alot of fun!
It's very atmospheric, you feel so involved in the storyline. Plus there are loads of side bits to do and you get to keep upgrading your hovercraft with new thingys.
A bit like Zelda: OoT but shorter.. and obviously nothing like it at all.

zynyxx

For RPG's I really enjoyed Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind, and SWKoTR.

biznatch

Max Payne 2 shouldnt be very expensive now and was really fun to play. I recommend that game. it has different cool playing mods to it, like this "endurance" one that happens in small levels and enemies pop out and you have to survive for as long as you can. i had hours of fun with that, plus the bullet time =
gotta love bullet time while diving to the side as you pass in front of a door, firing dual Mac 10s into baddies' bodies..looks so damn cool

Spec1al

sup guys first post was on top thought i put somethin

lk_3000

battlefield vietnam. its like unreal but has realistic settings.

thecoldone33

UT2004 hands down. Best multiplayer FPS on PC.

nohitters

If I were you i would probably get Dark Age of Camelot, Thief: Deadly Shadows, or Doom 3. They test the system well and are extremely addicting.

Can be laggy but it makes a change from CS or UT

City of Heroes has just come out in the UK. It's so much fun, you make rediculously named characters (some of mine so far: Santa X, Mantilope, Joe Bazooka, Kraftwerk Orange.. the character creating is so much fun I spend most of my time just making characters), and hit the streets solving crimes. Justice is far more rewarding than wailing on kobolds.

Any UK TFPers want to start a supergroup?

akdem

I have to recommend Battlefield Vietnam. It is truly one of the most in-depth and all-around fun games I have ever played. The single player mode isn't much to speak of, but the multiplayer is top notch. It has tons of driveable vehicles and the maps are enormous. I whole heartedly reccomend this game for any FPS fans who are looking for a great multiplayer experience. Battlefield 2, somewhat of a sequel, is just around the corner. It comes out in June and looks to be way better than BF: Vietnam or BF: 1942.

I'm looking for new RPGs to get through Spring Break. I just ordered Torment for like 6 bucks at Amazon. I saw it mentioned here a bit.
I LOVE Morrowind, HATE first-person shooters. I like the feel of MMOs, but I hate playing with other people.

Only been playing a couple of hours but I can recommend Beyond Good and Evil. Excellent visuals and sound with what seems like a good storyline. Have heard its quite short but as long as its good....

Its at bargain prices over here in the UK so I am sure it can be picked up cheap in the US.

Finelock

I'm a relatively new PC gamer...but I have to say the games that converted me from the console were:

NeverWinter Nights
and
CITY OF HEROES!!!! City of Heroes is a FANTASTIC game...online based, so it's very interactive. There is a monthly fee, but I have to admit that I don't mind paying it because it so darn FUN...instead of going to a movie once a month, I play CoH !!! www.cityofheroes.com
Check it out

As for the Console... I really like Balder's Gate for PS2 and for XBOX I would recommend FABLE

As you can see I tend to be more into RPG's

hulk

A couple of hours? You're nearly done with it, then. It was an amazing game, but under eight hours on my first playthrough? Rediculous. I sat down and went through again in about 3 hours, then returned it for a full refund

Can I back RE4 enough? No? Okay, go buy it now!

Knowing that hulk I might try and finish it this week. Got a PS1 and GBA SP coming my way this week. Thought I had better get a PS1 before I get a PS2. Have turned to a bit of a collector now which is bad for my bank balance.

Another recent title to recommend is Mario Party 6 - multiplayer only though. Excellent fun with some unlockables which make it worthwhile to play again and again.

Please dont laugh me off the forums for recommending that.

Disk_Pusher

Would any of y'all have some recomendations for strategy/RPG for the Xbox? I've really been trying to find a Dynasty Warriors Tactics type game for it, but with little luck, confounded by the fact that I'm too cheap to buy a PS2. I'm really looking for turn based strat, almost a Civ style game.

Right now, my puny library consists of: Fable, LotR: The Third Age and KOTOR II. Hopefully that gives some insight into my taste.

Thanks!

i'm going to go ahead an peg another vote for Ninja Gaiden. It's got old-school arcade style, smooth handling, and when you pull off all these flash moves, you just feel like the shit. Much entertaining. Also, quite difficult, and very replayable.
