ok so ive been play my new computer for about 4 weeks and just wanna know if there are any games taht are a MUST HAVE
preferably FPS or Strategy games, dont really play RPG's

so i have installed on my computer:
Crysis - obviously, anyone with a good setup should have this game
CoD 4 - had this before but i wanted to see how if performs on my new system and also because of the multiplayer
MOH Airborne - i know its not the greatest game but it pretty good but TOO damn short!!!!!!!
Orange Box - i absloutly love HL2 and the eposodes are great aswell and Portal is interesting
R6 Vegas - i know its old but i havent played till i finished and wanted to get a refresh before the new one comes out
LOTR BFME 2 - one of the best stratery games ever, especially when i play with my bro on LAN against computer or online
SoF Payback - crap game but my friend let me borrow his copy
GTA SA - its just fun
Far Cry - also getting a refresh before number 2

oh and are there any games that will show off it graphics???
thanks
also i dont really like OLD games except for Half Life

Not an FPS.. a FANTASTIC game, but its RTS.. although the level of detail is like an FPS which makes zooming right in on firefights look incredible.

I just got done going through Bioshock and Stalker again, were great games. Now I'm going through Call of Juarez again now that I have DX10 and a better card, think I'll do Doom3 after that.

The Ultimate Doom
Doom II: Hell on Earth/The Plutonia Experiment
Deus Ex
System Shock series
Thief series
Call of Duty & United Offensive
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Quake series
Unreal/UT series
Delta Force series

They are must have. When you don't play the progenitors (and arguably the "best" games available in the genre) of the genre you like most, it kind of defeats the purpose of you calling yourself a "fan."

For Bioshock, you may wanna do what you did with SoF: Payback, sure it's piracy but ya know what, I'm not stopping you.

Oh, most of the stuff Foxhound posted can be found on Steam, and they are older games so the download won't take a while, and you're into the online FPS scene so I assume you don't have 56k, so the download won't be long, you probably won't even notice.

Oh, would you also like third person shooter games, or are you more of a FPS kinda guy?

Oh, and get F.E.A.R. - don't bother with the expansions (extraction point is ok, but perseus mandate is terrible) - oh, and you can get F.E.A.R.'s multiplayer for free, just search "Fear Combat" in w/e search engine. - there's no catch, it's just a free download to help market the game, except instead of a demo it's just...everything.

Escape from Butcher Bay is not a FPS per se, but it is first person and features some shooting. It's also one of the best games I've ever played.

It's one half shooter, one half stealther, one half adventure (with roleplaying elements) - it has great voice work and visuals, and a tight narrative that is expertly paced and brilliantly structured.

You should play it.

Oh yea this is an excellent game, one of the best games I can remember. Great gameplay and it looked amazing especially for its time, without requiring top of the line hardware to run well just like HL2. Easily one of the most surprisingly good games made, especially with movie origins.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl is really engaging and will keep you wanting more long after you finish it. Good thing the game has a high replayability value...and that the prequel is due out very soon! :D

ok thanks for the info
but yeah im into Third person but i would probably play that with my Xbox 360 controller cause if its anything like GRAQ or GoW its easier for me to use a game pad
and i downloaded the kane and Lynch demo and that was actually a good game
i might get a "legit" copy of it later

Ugly? The game has great graphics. Probably the best looking game that I can run at 60+ FPS at full settings including graphical mods.

No, sir. The game is all around disgusting to look at. Even with all options on high in 1920, I despise it's appearance. And the gameplay is terrible. You couldn't hit a barn with a crowbar in that physics screwed horse humper! It's an unfinished, broken, lost in translation game... And anyone who promotes it must not believe in storyline or anything NEAR what games should be by now...

Remember, Stalker is very moddable, you can get graphic mods, you can get atmospheric change mods for those whoe don't like the look, you can even get a sin-city mod! (It's called "Nuclear Snow").

i know taht STALKER is ugly cause i have it and it really is
it was meant to come out ages before it actually did when by the time of release the graphics were old and not good

and FEAR is pretty good, i had to play with ma bro cause we kinda got scared (well not scared but SUPRISED) in some parts of the game, but i dont see a reason to play again, well for me i dont

i got Brother in Arms 2 and i dont like it, id rather play Cod1 or 2 or even MoH

i love No One lives for ever, even though its quite "old" its a good game
and other Military games or tactical?, no that much into sci fi stuff, i want to fire a M4 with a M203 grenade launcher or a AK47 or any other military gun, Doom is the only one that i really actuall liked, Quake was ok on 360

and i have GRAW 1 on PC and GRAW 2 on 360, is tehre a point of getting GRAW 2 on PC??

its "Chronicles of Riddick ; Escape from Butcher Bay " If you are an nvidia user once you have installed the game you need to download and install the patch or it will not run.

Enemy Terroitories Quake Wars !!!!!!!! The game is great. It's tactical, you can work with a team. It got stats and unlockables. It is the best multiplayer experience i have ever had. and i've played TF2, COD4, halo 3, unreal tournament, BF2, timeshift, crysis, and CSS. If you don't have internet don't buy it.

Not brown enough for you? Seriously though, STALKER has stupendous visuals. Next behind Crysis in terms of technical achievement and first in terms of atmosphere and immersiveness. No game I own can run as well or as beautifully on my dated hardware.

No, sir. The game is all around disgusting to look at. Even with all options on high in 1920, I despise it's appearance. And the gameplay is terrible. You couldn't hit a barn with a crowbar in that physics screwed horse humper! It's an unfinished, broken, lost in translation game... And anyone who promotes it must not believe in storyline or anything NEAR what games should be by now...xavierdhjane

So having "fun" shooting instead of realistic ballistics is important to you I guess? Have you tried the game with the most recent patch? There are no bugs to speak of.

And STALKER won Gamespot's "Best Atmosphere" for a reason.

I think it's not necessary to be a fan of every game you buy; having fun is paramount for me, and while these are all superb games, they aren't really up to today's standards. Lehman didn't specify that he wants to be fan.

the only game i am a "fan" of is the CoD series and maybe the GTA series also most games that are like Far Cry or Crysis, basically open world games but WITHOUT RPG elements
