New to PC, need game suggestions...

yes get stalker instead.. I also know this is older but Consider Battlefield 2 (only $10) and BF 2142. You can also try Elder Scrolls Oblivion and The Witcher (they're not FPS but still fun) And you have to get CoD 4 you probably have it for xbox but it's just a great game.. And a must is the Orange Box (5 games in one)ferrari2001

I actually have a copy of Battlefield 2 laying around somewhere which I got for free from EB Games so I mine as well give it a try. I already have Oblivion, COD 4, and Orange Box but I do agree that they are great games. I was looking into the Witcher though. It looks interesting but the combat is what has me on the fence. Was never a fan of turn-based/WoW/KotoR style play. Thats why I think Mass Effect was so awesome. Took the strengths of those games and added real-time combat. Im also looking for anything that is a good graphical showcase (other than Crysis of course).

STALKER comes highly reccomended, try The Witcher demo, I also hate turn-based but luckily this game has none of it.

CSS ftw!!!-San-

If you want a game that is extremely challenging against good players, then get CS:S. Awesome game. But just be aware that your death will probably be accompanied by teabagging and random things like "OMG n00b u suXX0rz hahaha"

its like that for all begginers, but once your better and understand the value of headshots youll be able to call others noobs. it also helps with any fps you play afterwards. ive also noticed that in games like CoD4, and halo.

Hahaha of course! I'm just warning him that there are some growing pains involved when it comes to CS:S :P

I would recommend:

-Crysis

-STALKER

-Orange Box

-Call of Duty 4

-Command and Conquer 3

World in Conflict

Dawn of War

Medieval 2 Total War

If you want some good games to show the graphical power of pc then try these...

Medieval 2: Total War. If you can max this games with full aa and af the battles look unbelievable.

World in Conflict : Great game, especially online, great graphics.

Oblivion with mods : Forget console oblivion. Many mods transform both the graphics and gameplay to an almost next gen level on pc. O,O,O mod, natural environments mod and quarls texture pack to name just 3 big mods.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: amazing atmosphere, very very challenging game and lots of nice mods. Although the graphics aren't imediately impressive, you will begin to see just how good they are the more you play.

I would also advise you in future to read reviews of multiplats before buying. If you are in the position of being able to buy any version you will find pc usually offers the best experience. CoD4 as an example, GeoW another. Mods add so much to pc games. In many games you can completey transform the game to the point its almost a complete new experience.

You like third person games aye? I think you should get the Max Payne games even though they are fairly old now!! Thief: Deadly Shadows as well. Oh have you got Call of Duty: Hotel Paranoia yet? If you don't just ask me more about it. Hit me back.

Unreal Tournament 99 GOTY Edicion yes.. it´s pretty old but it´s one of the best FPS shooters ever made for the PC and it´s better than UT3!:P and it´s got a DECENT online multiplayer! it´s got over 2,000 people everyday playing UT99!

I Own it and i always go online it´s pretty fun and there really hard to beat! im not a Noob on online but im not a expert either but im pretty good oh and you wont find it in video game shops cause it was relased like 8 years ago! well u can buy it on Ebay some teen from the USA was selling it for like $3!!! yeah that´s cheap.

PS2 IS NOT DEAD. LONG LIVETHE PS2!

Oh 2,000 people play everyday ONLINE!

Yes, you should get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. It was a great game if you put aside the technical issues.

Anyway, here's a few:

Oblivion (With expansions)

Morrowind (Sort of old but it's still fun!)

Warcraft 3 (Also old but fun)

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos (Didn't get that great of a review but I really enjoyed it)

YakeenX

i have mark of chaos installed on my pc but have never played it. My son plays it though. I may have to give it a go.
