Best Computer game out right now?

FPS would have to be half life 2 or FEAR. If you really want to try out a hard FPS you can do Far Cry.

Grand Theft Auto on the PC is fun if you get a controller.

I just got Tomb Raider, going to see if that is any good.

And Command and Conquer is really fun too.

Well, its summer vacation for me again, and Im wondering what's the best computer game out right now. (note: i dont like MMORPG games) So im looking for a FPS or any action games. Alright thanksK00laznspikie

I just bought rainbow 6 vegas and have been having lots of fun with the online coop modes.. for example, you can run through the whole game in story mode online with friends. Haven't even touched the single player, so there is lots of game for the money. Very few online games have any coop whatsoever, so this is quite refreshing.

U do need a strong setup, hopefully a dual core processor of some sort, and a solid GPU since it runs on the new unreal 3 engine. The game looks friggen great... the Casinos and hotels are extremely detailed. The guns feel real.

Diablo II

Battlefield 2

Warcraft 3

Say what you will about the death of the classic R6 games, but Vegas is an extremely entertaining, fun, and well-made game. And ya, co-op is amazingly fun.

Personally I couldn't get into vegas. Tried the demo out for xbox 360 but it's just not my kind of game ya know. It just plays so weird compared to say Gears of War. Just my tastes I guess. I have played Rainbw Six for PC, it's good but I didn't complete it. I just feel more at home with games I can just jump in and play. I could do that with Vegas but it's more tactical and requires more time and more thinking.

That's funny though because I know Warcraft 3 you can jump in and play but it's hard to master. Hmm. Anyway it's just not my type of games I guess.

Thats very true. Most good games, imo, have a quick "fundamentals" learning curve but take a while to truly get good at. Just look at Counterstrike: any idiots can click their mouse and press WASD, but to truly get good at it takes a bit of practice.

This is what I consider the greatest game ever, but it may not fit your tastes. The avatar of the poster above also makes me want to wholeheartily recommend Deus Ex. *watches everyone reading this thread reinstall said game* Oh, and System Shock 2. Along with DX, that's a must play.NamelessPlayer

You try way too hard.

I recommend you go to the PC section of Gamespot and sort every game by rating. Look through the top 50. Profit.

A recent game? Yeah, I'd have to agree with everyone else Rainbow Six Vegas.

Be sure to hook up with a friend for some coop play, don't miss it, it's alot of fun :D

Half life 2 + mod

hours and hours and hours of fun.

Try finding the demo for any game you intent to buy. Rainbow Six Vegas isn't for everyone. Also make sure you got good system requirements for it.

Oblivion

Half Life 1 AND 2

Vegas

Blizzard Games (Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo -- all amazing and unique gaming experiences)

The thing is, there are so many PC games out there it's hard to label one as "The Best Computer Game" out. Take a look around the Gamespot reviews and do some research into a game you think you'd like.

Alright thanks guys, I'm thinking of buying Rainbow Six: Vegas. Thanks again. K00laznspikie

The multiplayer interface is a bit funky. To get to most of the coop matches, choose the "custom match" button in the multiplayer interface, even if you are joining a public game, rather than hosting. Every time i have checked there have been many coop games ready to be joined.

In coop mode, the game plays just like a tactical FPS, not complex at all to control, since you are not controlling a squad. You can jump right in, though you will die a lot at first in "realistic mode" the most difficult mode that is frequently played on the coop servers... but at least you will figure all the controls out very fast.
