Discover the Best Computer Games: Our Top Picks for RTCW and HALO

[Tom McCurdy]

What do you guys think are the best computer games out there?

I would have to say I am very partial to RTCW and HALO

 

[JasonRox]

I like games that are:

Railroad Tycoon II
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Theme Park
Theme Hospital
Caesar
Simcity

I also like real-time strategy games.

Call of Duty is one of the best FPS I've ever played. I really enjoy the fact that you go to war not by yourself, but with teammates (bots) helping you out and some circumstances saving you from getting shot or killed.

I don't understand why they don't make most FPS like this because going through the same mission all by your lonesome can get quite redundant.

Call of Duty is one of the best FPS I've ever played. I really enjoy the fact that you go to war not by yourself, but with teammates (bots) helping you out and some circumstances saving you from getting shot or killed.

That game is great. It adds to the realism when you aren't constantly put in suicide missions. I wish the whole game was with fellow soldiers. I couldn't stand that annoying solo mission on the boat.

Your experience about combat has left a mark on your computer times


I absolutely agree with Amwbonfire: Half Life.

And to add something: the Quake series were also good games.

 

[Dilbert]

Half-Life? haha.

No, in order to get the true masterpieces you should go back even further. ID Software, John Carmack!
Return to castle wolfenstein,
Doom,
my favorite Commander Keen!
and many others.


Do i have to say anything else?
Although, if i am going to name a NEW great game it would have to be the Splinter Cell serie. Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and the upcomming Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

 

[DarkAnt]

space empires, X-COM and goldeneye for N64

 

[Atheist]

Civilization

 

[Tom McCurdy]

Overall best game ever is halo

Halo took up more of my life than I would like to admit

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

The game I've been most addicted to in my life is: simcity 4000, rollercoaster tycoon, half life, doom3, x-com, heroes of might and magic 3, serious sam

 

[Tom McCurdy]

All you have been mentioning doom 3--- taht just came out... I wasn't very impressed with the actual game play although the grapics were to die for. I also heard the game was really easy to beat and my friend beat it in a couple of days

 

[Gokul43201]

FPS : Medal of Honor

 

[Dissident Dan]

DOOM 3
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (multiplayer rocks!)
Battlefield 1942
Lords of the Realm II

 

[Smurf]

Half Life
Bladur's Gate Saga
Space Empires IV
Starcraft

In that order

 

[Tom McCurdy]

What about HALO
doesn't anyone here play halo

Including on the box

 

[DarkAnt]

I'm sorry people but doom3 is overrated. Its graphics are great, but that's what the game was made for. Doom3 was made for the engine, not the gameplay.

edit: /me gives another shout out to space empires IV

 

[Tom McCurdy]

I agree with you DarkAnt I was actually very disapointed with the game play of Doom 3
although even with the nice computer I have I was unable to run doom on nething except the lowest setting
i need a nice vid card

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I'm sorry people but doom3 is overrated. Its graphics are great, but that's what the game was made for.

And the graphics were amazing, thus making it a great game for it's purpose.

 

[Tom McCurdy]

I mistyped... I meant to say it had great graphics but that's not just what the game was made for... but you were right in the way it stands right now.

If i game is made for a purpose and it fulfils the purpose then it has done its job, but Doom 3 wasn't supose to be just pretty it was supose to be the next amazing game
the next halo

it to me was very
disappointing
although i will have to give it another try when i get a darn video card

 

[DarkAnt]

Graphics don't last, gameplay does

 

[hemmul]

Max Payne & Max Payne 2 are games with extremely cool graphic and fascinating scenarios!
Speaking about adrenaline-boosting games - Unreal Tournament (2004) does the job!
I think its not necessary to speak about such giants as GTA and Mafia which force to to plunge into the real movie for a while :)
And - yes! Heroes of Might and Magic 3... i remember the long winter evenings with a hoards of Green and Gold dragons fighting hand to hand with angels and elves against the legions of undead skeletons, vampires and lyches, defending castles and bastions and making their way, leaded by noble ragners (Kyrre!) and wizards, through magic forests and flaming lands to find ambush... or grail... :)

 

[Nylex]

My favourites:

Quake 3
Red Alert 2
Soldier of Fortune 2

 

[recon]

I only play Age of Empires. I had not realized that I've been missing out on so much! : This thread has been a real life saver for me.

 

[lysip]

I do beleave you forgot one of the most epic games Deus Ex... has to be one of them best games ever... it may be a dated game but still number one in my book. BTW call of duty is a very good game, it adds so much realism to the game its not funny. and doom3 is a damn good game it was alil too easy but i played it on very easy so what would you expect? but the story in doom 3 is very well planed story

 

[hemmul]

FPS : Medal of Honor

If You mean "Medal of Honour: Alien Assault", then what do you think about Wolfenstein 2 (also about WW II)?

 

[Tom McCurdy]

I still like to play RTCW
Some of the moded maps are sweet (ruiner)
and then if you get bored there always the clasics (beach)
after playing RTCW other games just seem slow like halo
