games you should play

here are some games i think you should put on your new computer jordan:

1) Eve Online

2)Homeworld 1/2 - you've never played these, i told you about them one time...good games..

3)Mechwarrior series - 4 - 4 is probably the most relevant, combined with a bomb ass joystick and good headphones, you will have a tight experience, this will also let you play flight simulators - if you do that try il-sturmovik

4) Total Annihilation - really really fun old game, Supreme Commander is the most recent incarnation of the playstyle, you should try Supreme Commander too

5)Hearts of Iron/2 - is that crazy ww2 game that i've been playing

6) Company of Heroes - pretty good/entertaining take on RTS/strategy while also keeping it fresh with a more detailed approach of WW2

7) Total War series - Shogun:Total War - completely groundbreaking, blew your fucking mind when it was out, then Medieval: Total War came out and that was even better.. then after Rome and Medieval 2 they became more concerned with graphics rather than tactics it seemed....they're still ok

AvP2 - fucking awesome. really thats all i have to say.

9)Operation: Flashpoint - pretty realistic tactical shooter - you probably wouldn't like it, but it has a pretty awesome atmospheric and encompassing gameplay after you get into the story, plus an organized multiplayer session is easily the most ridiculous FPS experience...

10) Civilization - 3/4, and Alpha Centauri - awesome ass games. alpha centauri has a very entertaining story

11) Quake 2/4 - single player quakes - quake 4 provided a pretty scary/fantastic alien fighting sequences, the planetary assualt scenes make the entire download worth it.

12) Deus Ex - awesome, i hope you have played it. futuristic fps/rpg - really choose a lot of things, how missions are done, what upgrades/repercussions

13) Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 - Dark Forces - talk about bringing you back? this shit was some of the most fun i ever had just because it was so fucking good. graphics are shakey but the gameplay is tooooo fucking addicting. - the newer Jedi Knights aren't that bad and are also fun as fuck

14) Max Payne 1/2 - obviously grungy mafioso fps - pretty good story telling.

15) Black and White 2- skip 1- it sucked. 2 was not nearly as bad

16) Beyond Good and Evil - pretty awesome photography/conspiracy game that was waaaaay tooo underrated...

17) Red Faction - fps with destructible environment - it was OK... good back in the day...

18)Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1/2 - if you liked Mass Effect, then you better play these....they're VERY similar but in the star wars galaxy.

19) Baldurs Gate series - HELLA good Rpg series...

20) Never Winter Nights 1/2 - fun d&d like games...

21) Command and Conquer: Renegade - one of the most hilarious yet addicting fps - and the multiplayer was pretty innovative..

22) Sim City 4 - don't worry about the older versions, they just get better with time...

23) Star Wars: Empire At Wars : when it first came out I thought the space battles were fucking beautiful. pretty fun game that you can have hours of fun with

24) World in Conflict - its pretty good looking and the strategy is refreshing when so many games come out and play/feel like the same bullshit..

25) Sins of a Solar Empire - legit strategy game

both max payne 1 and 2 are awesome as hell. and red faction is basically what got me into cs (and playing computer games with everyone here).

i'm looking forward to playing more of the older rpgs like baldur's gate and neverwinter nights (i have the 2nd but my old pc couldn't run it at passable graphics)


kotor looks amazing after playin mass effect....we'll see how much i like the rts games, for whatever reason i'm not very good at them

i found this pretty legit website

http://www.mobygames.com/home

its like encyclopedia for games...but its not a wiki

http://www.mobygames.com/game/galactic-civilizations-ii-twilight-of-the-arnor

thats the space based game thats similar to the civilization series.

this is a game i never played:

http://www.mobygames.com/game/planescape-torment

but i hear amazing things about it, and have for years..


heres a pretty good rap up for RPGs in the history of video games..

http://www.mobygames.com/featured_article/feature,31/


and after reading it, i am going to try and give the gothic/the witcher a try out...i've pretty much played every game tho...

i was pretty excited that they mentioned this game: http://www.mobygames.com/search/quick?game=Mount+and+Blade

this game is the shit, and its an OK - indie RPG that i will probably end up buying just because of its minimal price less than $30 i think and its expansive with time..

here's a fun one

http://www.nitrome.com/games/mutiny/

it's like worms armageddon.

dude mac, why don't you like stalker?!

fallout 3 is gonna be sick as hell

and i saw a mmo about living in post-apocalyptic world called earthrise i think

maybe i never really sat down and played it all the way through, but it didn't really hold my attention. i like oblivion/lotr shit more than post-apoc.

dude mac did you hear about the morroblivion thing?! some amazing fucking modders made an mod that lets people who own morrowind and all its expansions as well as oblivion you can play all of morrowind in oblivion!!!


hella sick, let me find the link,
