Working on my PC collection.

[Tyler_Durden]

I just got a new PC and I'd like to strengthen my collection, because it's pretty horrible right now. So what are your favorites?

Here's what I have:
Dungeon Siege (just bought it for $20)
Max Payne
Half-Life
Unreal Tournament
Half-Life Blue Shift
Diablo II
Red Faction

Here's what I'm interested in:
Planescape Torment
Dues Ex
No One Lives Forever series
Unreal II (Why don't people like this game? The demo was great, and it's a good way to show off my new system)
Baldur's Gate series
Warcraft III
Quake 3
Battlefield 1942
Syberia
MoH: Allied Assaut
Aliens vs. Predator II
Alice

Also, let me know what you think of the games on my list.

Definitely get Deus Ex, that's a fantastic game.

Anything from Blizzard is great, from Warcraft to Diablo to Starcraft.

If you want something a bit off-beat, that's a great mix of action and some strategy, pick up Giants: Citzen Kabuto. One of the funniest games I've ever played too.

As for why people don't like Unreal II, it's because it's very by the numbers as far as gameplay goes. Graphics are pretty insane, and it's by no means a bad game... it just won't wow you with it's uniqueness (like Half-Life did at ,
 point).

Edit: Why is my post bugged at the end?

[Tain]

Alice put me into a coma, and Unreal 2 seemed like it would do the same. Other than that, the list looks pretty complete.

Oh, and Rise of Nations is supposed to be good, I think.

Edit: Eh, it seems like you were mainly talking about recent games, but... Look into Jagged Alliance 2. I've been playing it a lot lately.

Freespace 2

Starcraft. Thats all you need.

Torment and Baldur's Gate series - Great D&D RPG stuff even though I'm not much into them. Morrowind is more my style. From what I have played, I prefer Torment over the Baldur's games because the theme is cooler.

Deus Ex - It's an amazing FPS/RPG hybrid and my favorite game. Also definitely check out the System Shock series.

No One Lives Forever series - Great stuff. They're like Goldeneye crossed with Thief except better than those games.

Unreal 2 - A decent FPS that breaks no new ground. It's better than Unreal 1 anyway.

Quake 3 - I vastly prefer Unreal Tournament but Q3 is still provides a great deathmatch experience.

Syberia - I have only played the demo but it seems like a quality graphic adventure game. Like The Longest Journey, it's very "Euro-looking" even though Syberia wasn't made in Europe.

Medal of Honor - An impressive WWII FPS. It doesn't really do anything new but if you like the console MoH games, it's like them but with better control.

AvP2 - I have only played the demo but it seems better than the previous AvP games. I trust Monolith more than Rebellion.

Alice - Overrated as hell. It's nice-looking but it's quite a dull third-person action game.

Few more games to check out:

Clive Barker's Undying - A Horror FPS with great atmosphere, interesting story, fun gameplay, and graphics still look nice

Fallout 1/2 I havent played those , but everyone say that those are 2 great rpgs.

Ureal 2 - Its nothing groundbreaking, but its hellawa pretty Decent action game.

No one lives Forever 1&2 Great and original FPS with some cool sense of humor.

If you got Diablo 2 you need to pick up Lord of Destruction Expansion.

[Mzo]

He's not kidding about needing the expansion.

It lets you up the resolution, which should've been in there from the beginning.

[PhlegmMaster]

Just buy Planescape: Torment. The rest doesn't matter.

Hmmm, seriously, you might want to add Curse of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango to your list, if you haven't played them already. Those two are the best adventure games ever created, IMO.

[Cheebs]

All anybody needs is Doom 1 and 2, some emus, and regular checkups on the free homebrew shmup download page.
