Buying a Gaming pc, what are your TOP 10 must have pc games?

I already own sc,half life games,cod, and battlefield 1942. what are your must have pc games?

Age of Mythology

Baldur's Gate I

Baldur's Gate II

Half-Life 2 (+ episodes)

KOTOR 1

TF2

Portal

Braid

Bioshock

I think that's ten. (the episodes together are their own game)

Why not get all these awesome games by saving money and just building your own. Believe me man its alot easier than you probrobly think, you can do it.

im gonna guess you want modern games since your buying a gaming pc.

so:

the orange box

left 4 dead

bioshock

mass effect

mirrors edge

call of duty 4

crysis

red alert 3

sins of a solar empire

grid

that covers just about every genre, and they are all great games.

using gamespots top PC games as a guideline here is my top 10 (not neccesarily in order from best to wort or vice-versa)

Diablo

Crysis (or far cry since they are quite similar)

The Orange Box

Age of Mythology or age of empires 2 (once again very similar, but in this case i suggest you don't get both unless you really want to.)

Unreal Tournament (one of them)

Quake

Command and Conquer: Red Alert, Congratz this game is actually released as freeware by EA games. (along with original C&C)

COD:4

and now to add some racers to the mix

Burnout paradise collectors edition

Need For Speed Underground 2 or my personal fav racing game Flat out 2 (i reckon it deserves at least an 8.3)

1. Call of Duty 4

2.Crysis

3.GTA 4

4.Bioshock

5.Sims 3

6.Left 4 Dead

7.Prototype

8.Street Fighter 4

9.Orange Box

10.Spore ( luv that game lol)

4. Morrowind
5. Fallout 2
6. Deus Ex
7. Warcraft 3
8. Team Fortress 2

10. Knights of the Old Republic

I think Orange box is enough said, many games and alot of fun :D

More recent games:

1 The Orange Box/HL2 series

2 Total War (Empire, Medieval II, or Rome, whichever setting you prefer)

3 Crysis/Warhead

4 Fallout 3

5 Mass Effect

6 The Witcher

7 Dead Space

8 Left 4 Dead

9 STALKER

10 Prototype (Best sandbox game imo, so much better than gta 4)

Older games: Baldur's Gate series, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Half-Life, Vampire TM: Bloodlines, Knights of the Old Republic.

These games are essential to your enjoyment of your new PC:

-Orange Box

-Crysis

-Arma 2

-Freelancer

-Mass Effect

Be warned though, should you buy all of these at once you will instantly lose your social life, so try to take it easy ;) .

1. A total war game.. I highly recommend Rome but if you want nice graphics Medievil 2 will be good enough.

2. Crysis + Warhead. Crysis is great but gets of to a slow start. Once you start getting into the controls abit thoe it all starts to pick up nicely and this is were warhead will shine. Was so much fun for me.

3. Supreme Commander + forged alliance. Supreme commander has a pretty good campaign and forged alliance just adds those units/buildings you always wanted in supreme commander to begin with.

Only recently started playing PC games myself so that is all i can really suggest at this moment. Not finnished many of my games yet. :)

Syndicate (or wars)

Ufo: Defence

Fallout 1+2

Baulders gate (1+2 + exps to both of them)

The Witcher

CS:S

Neverwinter nights (and 2 if youd go that far)

Crysis

Deus Ex

System shock 2

I just got a gaming pc, so I can only reccommend a couple:

1. X3: Terran Conflict - This game on a nice sized monitor with some headphones and graphics turned up will make you feel like you're in space and on acid. It's like the most immersive game I've ever seen. The Oblivion of space sims.

2. Dawn of War 2 - Different from the first one, but better.

3. Neverwinter Nights 2 - if you're a d&d nerd, at least.

This. Its a truely unique and inspiring game. First time you see a planet from our Solar System (ie Jupiter), your jaw will drop. Mine did.

Since I'm assuming the TC is talking about purchases instead of games (i.e. The Orange Box versus the individual games in it), I'll go by that. I'll also include expansions, mods, and official plug-ins with the main games--for example, Crysis+Crysis: Warhead would count as one game, as well as Garry's Mod + any Source game (or The Orange Box).

The Orange Box (plus Garry's Mod), Morrowind GotY, Oblivion GotY, Fallout 3, Dead Space, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut, Crysis, RE5, Left 4 Dead, MGS: Rising

I wanted to include L4D2, too. :(

Hold on there! That will not play all games on high detail at high res. Heck, if we're talking about 1600x1200 or higher, that won't even manage all medium. Do not buy that computer if you are looking for good gaming at high res. will952
