PC - Games That Look Good
While I use a PC I don't play games on it, it's mostly for work. But that doesn't mean I don't have some good notions about what might be fun to play on the PC.
Here's some of my choices for games you might find interesting for the PC.
Once again in alphabetical order, just so you know. Yeah, I did this before... I think. Did I? Anyway we're only days away from Christmas so now is a good time to get some games... before, you know, it's too late.
Advance Dungeon & Dragons
If you are too impatient to wait for that AD&D Online game in 2006 then try out the strategy game out now. It'll warm you up for the online version (hopefully).
Battlefield 2
Yeah, yeah, it's now out on the PS2 and XBox but if you want a solid first person shooter for multiplayer online action you should check out the PC version. I heard there are some good points about the "Modern Combat" Single Player version, and that helicopter piloting in this one is supposed to be better than the PC version, but still the better of the two (three?) is the PC version, just so you know.
Civilization 4
You can't get more civilized than a world building sim whose previous incarnations drawn such large fans, but having said game voiced over by Leonard Nimoy doesn't hurt either! Very nice!
Far Cry - Instinct
Described by X-Play as "Weekend At Bernie's 2 meets Commando", you take a trip to the tropical side of 1st person shooters where the mercenaries scream like cannon fodder victims in a bad B-grade slasher flick! Gruesome yet oh so interesting.
Half Life 2
If you played the original then you know why this is good, if not now is a good time to check it out. First person shooter that rocks... say, looks like most of my cohices is first person shooters... guess the age of Point & Click and Multimedias like Myst is over, and the age of 1st Person Shooter is on.
Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth
Want to take a ride with a strategy game that lives in the world of Middle Earth? While some are not the most hyped about this at least it's not another hack and slash button masher like 90% of Lord of the Rings games I've seen to date. And, for me, anything that provides some variety (and heaven forbid some intelligent gameplay) is worth mentioning in my book. Of course strategy alone? Go for Rome : Total War (best of the best), but if you want Strategy AND LOTR tie in this is it.
The Movies
Now I shouldn't be promoting a game that seems more Sims clone than anything, especially since I only have the most base of information on the game, but if it even lives up to half of it's potential from what I heard of it... ah, you better read 5 or so reviews on this game before you go buy it, you know, just to make sure it's not a terrible clone (because nobody likes playing a terrible clone game)!
Rome : Total War
This is the best strategy game I've ever seen on the PC, and the fact that this also has one of the best Expansion games (Barbarian Invasion) doesn't hurt either.
Sexy Beach 2
OHHHHH-kay. No I'm not recommending this because of it's solid gameplay... well, it's good actually from what I heard, in a XXX hentai way... but I just want to Hilaries of the world to know that I'm not afraid to recommend something truly adult every year... like this, even if it's only in Japanese (because nobody will make it in English subtitles due to the Hilaries).
Sexy Beach 2 good. Unfair and Imbalanced Intolerance about video games bad.
World of Warcraft
Why am I not promoting Star Wars Galaxies? Why would I. Now that they're rumored to be shifting gears and kicking up a "WOW" meets whatever style universe (where long term players get the shaft as their data is wiped and cleansed, much like how the Jedi were purged in Episode III) this is not the best time to jump into Galaxies... you know, just in case you buy the WRONG version and your data gets wiped at the rumored purge... in the meantime buy the solid thing, millions play WOW from what I heard and it's fun.
Hopefully that helps you out, if only a little.
