What is a cool PC game?

What do you think is a really good PC game? I don't know why I made this but, just wondering. :lol:

HALF LIFE 2 !!!! Its the best game ever!!

[Lkr]

Lord of The Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth is the best!

Something freakin awesome even some slightly older computers can handle: UT 2004. Go to fileshack and download the demo.

The Battlefield series (especially BF1942 and BF2), UT2004, and the Half-Life series, all good games. I agree UT2004 handles performance really good on older PC's, but not a whole lot better than other games. With Half-Life, you'll need to deal with Steam, which can get incredibly annoying. There's demos for all of those games so you can see if your PC can handle it and maybe a little bit to see if you like it.

Steam isnt that annoying. Whats annoying about it Pilot_51?

[Pilot_51]

Well, the first few times was really annoying when they forced HL1.5 users to switch from WON to Steam, and before that you needed to use Steam to get 1.6 anyway. When I tried 1.6, I changed the settings the way I liked it and then when I started it back up it wouldn't work. It's not so annoying with HL2 now, but the way they're forcing people to use Steam just to play even single player is ridiculous. They did a lot of forceful things that made me hate it and only HL2 could get me to use it, but of coarse I kill it once I'm done playing.

depends what your looking for.
HL2 is a brilliant experience.
UT2004 is great in single and multiplayer but better in multiplayer
Rome Total War if you want the best strategy game in the world
Guildwars is an excellent MMORPG and has no monthly fees, best that ive played anyway.
Vampire the masqurade bloodlines is an awsome but buggy RPG.
and if you dont mind the old graphics get your hands on deus ex. absolute class. forget the sequel though.

my freind has rome total war, its not that great to me...i think the best game would have to be battlefeild 2

[Neumie]

well i you prefer games like command and conquor then it might not be up your alley. Battle for middle earth might be better. But, in my opinion, there is nothing like seeing thousands of troops charging of others. you really need to spend a few days at it though. its slow to start and the battles are small but eventually you get some classic battles. and no two playthroughs are the same. if you can give it a shot for a few days.
im hearing great things about battlefield 2 aswel. what do you know ea doing a great game.
