575718 2007-08-02 17:48:00 Now that i have a nice new machine, Ive realised Im out of touch with most newish games.

Can anyone recommend decent titles to check out in these genres?
Doesnt matter if they are old or new.

Horror/action/FPS

I liked the quake series, and the resident evils. Currently hooked on god of war 1 & 2 for ps2, but for PC I dont know where to start really.


TIA

575719 2007-08-02 18:41:00 Hitman Blood Money is a good one, Call of Duty games, Doom, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is another cool game... Mr Wetzyl (362)
575720 2007-08-02 19:33:00 Ahh yes, I liked hitman too, I may have to stop into the warehouse when i finish work!:D rob_on_guitar (4196)
575721 2007-08-02 21:00:00 Half Life 2 and Episode 1. pctek (84)
575722 2007-08-02 21:40:00 Definatly give STALKER a try - takes a bit of playing to get used to but i love it it is such a great game

and hitman Blood money is brilliant too - if your lucky enough to find the KAZO TRG rifle much fun can be had :D

if you want racing go for Colin Mcrae dirt - it is surprisingly fun to race a Big Rig up pikes peak :D

and im also with Pctek with Half Life 2 and EP1 - EP2 should be out the end of this year as far as i know - and there are so many great mods for it it never gets boring :D

575723 2007-08-02 21:46:00 Far Cry
GTA 3 & Vice City (didn't like San Andreas as much)
Prey - story was crap, but the game was ok
Just Cause
Painkiller - covers horror/action & fps :)

575724 2007-08-02 21:57:00 F.E.A.R.

and

F.E.A.R. - Extraction Point

They'll make your GPU smoke a bit, but excellent AI and some genuinely unsettling moments.

And I'd add another vote for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Plus watch out for Bioshock - due for release 24 August.

575725 2007-08-02 22:05:00 Be warned .

People will try and recommend a piece of software called WoW .

WoW stands for World of Warcraft . Some people also refer to this software as a "game" . It is not a game, it is a very cleverly crafter virus . People also like to refer to themselves as "gamers" once they start using this virus .

Oh how wrong they are .

Counter-Strike : Source is where its at baby!!!

Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (PC Games)
Delivery: Pre-order now for delivery within NZ on 18th October, 2007!

HalfLife 2, Half Life 2 - Episode 1 and:


* Half-Life 2: Episode Two -- the second installment in Valve’s episodic trilogy advances the award-winning story, leading the player to new locations outside of City 17.
* Portal -- a pioneering type of single player action game that rewrites the rules for how players approach and manipulate their environment – much like how Half-Life 2’s Gravity Gun reinvented the way gamers interact with objects in the game.
* Team Fortress 2 -- an all-new version of the legendary title that spawned team based multiplayer action games. The game’s daring new art style features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date.
