Reality is your best bet, the graphics are amazing, even though it is ages old.

Yeah, that game is fun for awhile, but the end levels are boring. Stuck in a little room with bars on the window.

those are not end levels, you have to think of how to get out of that barred room, so many options such as digging a tunnel through the wall with a spoon, or escape through the laundry shutes, the non-linearity of reality is so great,you just dont want to stop playing!

but ontopic, I really cant think of a game such as that other than GTA, RPG games like Oblivion let you go "whereever" you want, but not blowing stuff up and stealing cars, just settle with GTA until a new game hopefully comes out that fulfills this.

Im in no way leaving gamespot(unless I get banned for some reason), but I did recently create a account on 1UP.com, the only other major website is IGN.com, and they suck, too mainstream-focused for me.

Also about 80% of those people who said they were leaving gamespot because Jeff was fired are most likelygoing to stay, so if your considering leaving about that, just forget it, people make threats to get what they want, they rarely act on those threats though.

Team Fortress 2 -it is the Magnus Opus of the online shooter genre, niether Counterstrike 1.6, CSS, or the unreal games come close, I cant judge if quake III is as good, since ive Never played it, but I definately vouch for TF2.

Also if you buy it with the orange box, you get portal, half life 2 and episodes 1 and 2, five games for the price of one, sounds like a pretty damn good deal, or you could get it over steam for I think a reduced price.

and if TF2 is somehow not your liking the next best ones would be Counterstrike(1.6 or Source), Unreal 2004, and I hear Quake III is a legend in online shooters.

Good MMO's that aren't $15/mo.? mankvill

answer - none.

Fighting Piracy is quite pointless IMO. Because just look at what your working with here. Computer's are freaking complicated. I don't think anyone has ability to make a pirate-proof game. If someone has the ability to crack-protect a game, than you can be damn sure someone else has the ability to un-crack that game...narf101

True, as long as some poor or cheap guy has a computer piracy shall always survive, pirates usually live in countries where piracy is not a concern of the government, so they can "plunder" anything they find on the internet without fear of punishment. Most "grabbz" are either 1)poor or 2) cheap, I fall in the poor category, Im not hijacking this thread, Im just tired of people seeing pirates as cheap **** who want to have all the newest **** but dont have to pay, its not completely like that, most pirates just cant continually put out money to buy a piece of software when they have more important things to use that money on.I myself only "grabbz" like one game a month, and its usually a old game that I never managed to find in stores, such as Fallout 1 which I recently "grabbz", I dont "grabbz" new games, I buy news games such as the Orange Box which I recently purchased.The only time I ever "grabbz" is 1)if its a old game I cant find 2)Its a game I previously paid for but lost/broke 3)Its a game that I want to see is worth buying.

Is piracy wrong? yes.

are pirates a bunch of cheap greedy **** living in their mom's basement? no.

Piracy is wrong, but the more that corporations try to stop it, the more it will grow, because no one is going to waste time on a game that puts a bunch of **** on their pc, instead they're going to pirate the game that dosent have all the copyright bull**** on it.

yes I know Im going to get flamed, but remember, your not exactly perfect yourselves, Im sure a few songs that found there way on your hard drive arent exactly considered legal either, so think, before you persecute.

I might get banned for stating that, but gamespot has been dying anyway, so I really dont care.

If you dont want to take this thread off-topic, dont reply to this post, I just felt like stating it.

writing down your specs would be nice, but if you dont know how to find your compy's specs, these games should be old enough for your computer to run:

Half Life

Homeworld

Warcraft III

Starcraft

Diablo II

Elder Scrolls III Morrowind

Baldur's Gate II

Civilization IV

Rome Total War

your computer should be able to run these, but if you could list your specs, it would help.
