Oh, sorry, I was mistaken bolding Far Cry 2, I had played a Far Cry game with two Far Cry games in it, sorry, it was FC: Instincts: Predator
Ignore Neverwinter Nights 2. It's shit, completly lost the charm of the original. Get NWN1 and SUCK IT UP I KNOW THE GRAPHICS ARE BAD.
Oh and sometimes It has freaky issues with certain graphics cards, turn off shiny water.

You played the Orange Box on 360, you live in a cave...Spartan Bannana post=9.73131.784997 said:
OK that's a bit harsh, but. All the games in Orange Box work a lot better on PC, especially TF2 which has masses of user generated content, more players per server and the various extra maps/player updates (have/will they appear/ed on Xbox?). It's all free too.
Plus it's way easier to find nice people to play against (like me...).
Also you mentioned Far Cry.
If you havn't played it get the original. Very different game to the console versions.
Actually, that game has some of the most polite people on XBOX liveTsunamiWombat post=9.73131.785057 said:

< Is sad.
Also I'm sure that's just a matter of contrast as, if there were a game on XBL called "Auntie Mary's Manners and Cookie Recipes", then you'd get called a buttfu@ker every time your snikerdoodles came out better than MasterChiefRules420666Thirten's.Spartan Bannana post=9.73131.785060 said:
Orange Box is a definite on PC, I'd also like to reiterate Starcraft and The Witcher.Spartan Bannana post=9.73131.784997 said:
Edit: Btw, if you want Civilization IV, I believe Valve sells a package for $60. On Steam, of course.
So, if you have an SLI setup with two 768-mb-of-RAM cards, how much RAM would your OS recognize if you had 4 gigs of RAM and it was a 32 bit OS?Eggo post=9.73131.785162 said:
I'm so glad to see someone mentioned Homeworld. Undeniably one of the best RTS's there's been made so far. MechCommander 2 warrants a mention as well. As many have already mentioned, anything Half-Life is a must. Bioshock and F.E.A.R. as well. Assuming you've run the gamut of console games, I'm going to suggest you try your hand more at RTS games, as console versions are few and far between and never do the PC version justice. Anything from Homeworld, Starcraft, and Warcraft to Age of Empires, Civilizations, and Company of Heroes. Also, do yourself a favor and get Steam. There's a slew of titles on there from a lot of different companies spanning all genres, not to mention free games and mods. You're pretty much guaranteed to find something you'll love on there.Theo Samaritan post=9.73131.784838 said:
Thank you, PersianLlama- I've always been curious about that....PersianLlama post=9.73131.785490 said:
Now, Spartan Bannana, I also recommend The Witcher- it has a wonderful story, as well as a very badass protagonist... But it is an rpg, so maybe you'd like it, maybe not. If you do get the game, though, get the Enhanced Edition.
Your Welcome, and yar The Witcher kicks ass, I'm just too broke to afford the Enhanced Editionjamanticus post=9.73131.785760 said:
(I have the original, but I wants the extras)
I'll try to recommend a wide variety of games that you would enjoy. Some of these games are rather old, but they are all fantastic and they truly show some of the best aspects of their genre.
Freespace / Freespace 2 - Both of these games are simply stunning. If you have a joystick it is even better. But for a space sim, it's not that bad if you don't have a joystick.
Homeworld / Homeworld 2 - Homeworld is the game that thrusted Relic into the mainstream. When Homeworld was released, Relic had something like ~15 employees. By then end of Homeworld 2 development, that number had grown to nearly 100. Even by today's standards they are unique games that have fantastic story and awesome music. The Homeworld soundtrack won many awards on its own.
Painkiller - If you like FPS games then this one has a lot to offer. It's all about you killing everything that moves. Each weapon is fun to use in their own creative ways, and the Graphics are sleek, and efficient.
Rainbow Six: Raven Shield - The Rainbow Six series started out on the PC being one of the first tactical shooters ever released. You can't take more then 1 or 2 bullets, and neither can your enemy. The AI is solid and doesn't get in your way either. I'd recommend the older ones but they may be considered outdated.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - The 3rd Splinter Cell in the series. This is definitely my personal favorite. And that is also the sentiment of many other Splinter Cell fans. You may or may not have played the console versions, but if you haven't then this one is worth checking out.
That's all I got off the top of my head. :O
