All my life I had a crappy PC that could only run basic games like Warcraft 3 and stuff like that. Now i have a decent PC that can play most games. Im starting with Half Life 2 and then im planning on getting games like fear and other great games. What im asking is what are some good games, i have heard that oblivion, graw, farcry, are good. Can i get some suggestions?

Oblivion (with lotsa mods of course!)

Battlefield 2/2142

Company of Heroes

Call of Juarez (if you're into linear, story based shooters, with western themes)

GRAW2

R6: Vegas

Supreme Commander

Dawn of War

STALKER

System Shock 1 and 2

Far Cry

Call of Duty 1 and 2

SWAT 4

FEAR

Half-Life 1/2

Rise of Nations, though old, is still the best rts I've ever played (Rise of Legends, the sequel, is pretty good too, imo)

...The list goes on and on.

Well, Now that you're playing HL2, try with HL2 Episode 1 (Episode 2 coming in oct-2007) is a good game. I recommend FarCry and Oblivion excellents games, the GRAW and GRAW2 are terribles (Bad IA, well the GRAW is better than GRAW2).

Try out with those other games, all are good election:

FPS
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (RPG and action)
DooM 3
Halo 1 and 2
Call of Cthulhu (FPS, RPG and Horror)
F.E.A.R.
Call of Duty 1 and 2 (Forgets the 3, this never came to PC, but the 4 is coming soon)

Race
NFS Underground and Most Wanted (I don't recommend you NFSU2 or Carbon)
Midnight Club 2
Colin McRae Rally 3, 4, 5 or Dirt

RTS
W40k Dawn of War (very similar to starcraft)
Company of Heroes (RTS and WWII)
Age of Empire
Command and Conquer 3 Tiberiun Wars

Others
Freedom Fighter (very recommend)
Splinter Cell 1, 2 and 3 (Double Agent need a high PC performance)
Beyond Good & Evil
Psyconauts
The Suffering 1 and 2 (Action, suspence and horror)
Fable The Lost Chapter

PD: Pardon my english!

Nah, Halo 2 is only on Vista - you can blame Microsoft for that. You're really not missing out on much man. You have a good PC now - get some higher standards for FPS - Half Life 2 for example - one of the greatest games ever made.

Get Morrowind, it's cheap, it's better than Oblivion, and it'll last you longer.
