I have a problem.
In December I have a nice long holiday booked that I am very much looking forward too.

My problem is most of you know I am a gamer, and I am "between" games right now with nothing due out that remotely interests me for a long time. Usually I can remedy this by replaying older games but again I have just done that also for the ones I want to play and everything else has been played too recently to catch my interest again. It has been years since I have found myself with nothing to play.

I need any and all suggestions for older games I may not have considered before.
PC Only, not interested in consoles.

Please do not suggest other methods to fill the time. While there are other things I will be doing during this time this is a game problem and it can only be solved with a game or I will be miserable and so will anyone unfortunate enough to be around me.

1314926 2012-11-26 07:58:00 Runescape, Minecraft, World of tanks, WoW, a ton of FPS games,assassin's creed and a million other games. Nikit07 (16761)
1314927 2012-11-26 08:05:00 Yes I do realize there are a lot of games out there but like all gamers I have a preferences as to what I play.
If I am not engaged by a game then there is no point.

This World of Tanks sounds interesting and I will check it out, but its plain that you are either trolling or just ignorant and I really don't need that right now so run along.

1314928 2012-11-26 08:15:00 What kind of games do you play, that might help.

Some that I've played and enjoyed;

FPS
The fear series
Serious SAM 3
Wolfenstein (the most recent one)

RTS
Supreme Commander - first one is better than the sequel Still in my opinion but both are good

RPG
If you can handle the older style graphics then the Baldurs Gate series and Neverwinters nights will eat a lot of time. I couldn't get into NWN 2 though, mainly because I was playing wow by that stage
WoW - free to try to level 20 but a 20Gig plus download
SWTOR - I think it's free now too. I enjoyed it a lot for a few weeks but then lost interest.

Driving - I mainly like Arcady fun driving games over realistic simulators
Flatout 1,2, and ultimate carnage - solo ultimate carnage is the one but for multiplayer LAN fun flatout 2 wins

1314930 2012-11-26 08:30:00 I am a RTS/RPG fan but I do not want to limit the suggestions I am that desperate for a good one.
Basically after suggestions for a game that maybe surprised you as it was a lot better than you thought when you played it.

FPS are usually a last resort for me although I will play the odd one, Sports, no interest.

Thanks for the replies I have a few in these lists to check out :)
