S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I just realized that's the only game in my collection that's a PC exclusive. Well, that, and Neverwinter Nights, but I'm having trouble recommending it because I didn't exactly like it.

Anything made by valve, or blizzard is defiantly something to play. I was playing Neverwinter Nights for a bit, which is pretty fun, but it made me start playing wow again so I haven't played it in awhile :P if you haven't played Knights of the Old Republic 1 or 2 yet, you should try those out.. really good.

Save your money and wait until the Steam Holiday sales come up later this month. If you can't wait that long, Oblivion may not be an exclusive, but on the PC, it's a whole different experience, thanks to the extensive mod community.

I recommend that you check in on Steam on Tuesdays and Fridays and check out their sales, and sale announcements. There should be a daily winter sale from Christmas to New Years.... at least there has been such a sale for a few years, now...

Crysis at Very High is nice, but Warhead is better. The thing that makes Crysis really shine is the mods, such as EQM (Extreme Quality Mod,) Real Lifesis, CCC, High res texture packs, and more. I'd recommend just playing the game first before playing with mods. I think you need Dragon Age Origins before getting Awakening since its an expansion. Metro 2033 is also visually stunning (as well as hardware demanding!)

well crysis maximum has everything included. so it don't matter it comes down to price. second i was reading some reviews on amazon and a lot people complaining about the DMR securom 7 installs on their system in background and causes problems for other games and tools. and is also a pain in the butt to get rid of. is this still a issue? or what? because i really don't want to run in issues like that causes other games/tools issues no matter how good the game can be.

also metro i was looking at that game while back. you say it very hardware demanding so how well will it play on my set up. (i don't know much about that stuff yet so thats why i am asking)

Disagree. Crysis is longer, and filled with many epic moments. And you actually get to fight the real aliens in the ship.

Exactly.... and the story works best if you start with Crysis, then move onto Warhead....

The story blows, though. And Crysis bores me (especially the alien ship level). I think Warhead is much more to the point, and the fact that you fight a lot more Koreans makes it way more fun. My biggest peeve with Crysis 1 was the annoying aliens. They just aren't very fun to fight.

Oh well... I loved both Crysis and Warhead.... and the story wasn't from Shakespeare but it was presented in an Epic form and I really felt like a Marine fighting the invasion... Aliens aren't fun to fight cause they kicked my ASS !!!! lol....

k2theswiss

Securom is only an issue if the idea of having limited installs bothers you. It drives me up a wall because I like control of my games but in reality it isn't a huge issue. Another type of DRM that can be annoying is Ubi-drm, like the name implies the publisher Ubisoft has a DRM that forces you to be online all the time or you get booted to the title screen like in WoW. The thing you want to look out for is older games used to use a DRM called Starforce that literally fried cd-drives but ever since a large backlash against the company the thing has stopped being used in the United States and I'm pretty sure European versions of games.

Some good PC exclusives that I would recommend are:

Nehrim (mod for Oblivion that blows the Oblivion campaign out of the water to say the very least)

The Witcher (much more fun then Dragon Age and doesn't force so much dungeon crawling on you)

Mount & Blade: Warband (medieval combat simulator tied into a sandbox game, whats not to like?)

Longest Journey (THE best point and click adventure)

Guild Wars (an online co-op RPG that is cheap and is loaded with value)

Neverwinter Nights 2 (if you want an isometric Baldur's Gate style RPG that is recent this is the better game then Dragon Age as the setting is more rich and balances encounters and questing)

Amnesia: The Dark Descent (horror game that quite simply put will scare the pants off you)

Company of Heroes (eliminates resource gathering units like in Starcraft and instead focuses on capturing points that give resources. Heavy emphasis on micromanagement and having a few important units)

Medieval II: Total War (two portions make this up: one is a RTT combat system where you can have up to thousands of units fighting each other and the other portion is a risk like turn based strategy where you move the units that fight in the other portion of the game)

STALKER: Call of Pripyat (fun atmospheric shooter that does its own thing and excels at it)

Freespace 2 (space combat simulator that has THE best storytelling in its now-dead genre)

I'm not overly big on shooters so I'll let others help you with those.
