Recommend me some PC games

[The Hot Sauce Thief]

Well basically, ive bought a new PC
1.5 TB memory
7 GB RAM memory
Windows 7
Intel core I5
NVIDIA Geforce graphics card( with CUDA )


I enjoy shooters, strategy, RPG, and basically all genres of games
An RPG, shooter, or a " action/adventure" game would be prefered

Does anyone know any good games that would run on my PC, and i would enjoy from what ive said above?

Also, I don't really know about DRM, so does it basically limit the amount of times you can install a game onto your PC?

Thanks

EDIT- sorry, i didnt post my PC's graphics card properly, its a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590

Although those are rather vague specifications: you can play anything with that system.

DRM has never affected me in any practical way.

RPG (shooter, adventure): Fallout: New Vegas
Shooter (multiplayer): Counter-Strike: Source

minecraft.

I downloaded Minecraft once, but it kept saying i needed a premium account to play, so played the browser version instead

 

[Je Suis Ubermonkey]

Mass Effect for shooter/RPG
Total War series for strategy
Oh, and everything Valve has made ever.

 

[weker]

Start craft 2 (generic RTS)
Rift (Best mmorpg on the market)
Dawn of war 2 (Differnt RTS)
League of legends (good blend of RPG and RTS)
The witcher (great rpg but a little rough)
Dragon age (best rpg of the decade)
Crysis (best shooter for pc single player)
battlefield bad company 2 (really good multiplayer with gallons of atmosphere)
........

 

[weker]

Mass effect 1/2 (2 has better gameplay but one is better in story)
Mincraft and Garry's mod are both great creation and mod games.
TF2

Shooters:
The Modern Warfare and Black Ops games.
Team Fortress 2- great class-based teamwork multiplayer.
Left 4 Dead 2- entertaining and funny co-op shooter

If you enjoy all kinds of genre, then you'd might want to check out some Popcap games like Zuma and Plants vs Zombies. Steam has a fantastic library of games to choose from too.

browser version is just a sandbox but the real game is much more fun as you have to work for all resources and you can see animals and monsters and make weapons and die

Thanks, i already have Dragon age 1 and 2 for PS3, but ill look into those other games. I played the witcher on my cousins PC for a few hours, and for some reason, i didnt like it.

you need to buy an account to play survival mode. it's only $20 witch is about half as much as you would pay for some other game.

Step 1: Get Steam.
Step 2: Go nuts.

 

[enriquetnt]

Zork
Mist
Monkey Island
Wolfstein
Doom
Populous

Some of those may strain your machine a little

 

[Neverhoodian]

Team Fortress 2
Killing Floor
Monday Night Combat
Dawn of War 1 and 2
Civilization 5

Those are some off the top of my head. They have provided countless hours of entertainment for me, and they're all DRM-free.

As for how DRM affects PC games, there's actually a few variants out there. Some forms limit the number of times you can install a game on a computer. Others require that your computer stay connected to the internet, regardless of wheter you're playing a multiplayer game or not. If you stay away from PC games published by EA or Ubisoft, then you probably won't have to deal with DRM.

I have steam, but im using it mainly to download demos, before i purchase.

Although in your case, it's installing it.

It's a science fiction action RPG sandbox.
That's what wiki calls it. It's also a shooter.

It's also the greatest game evar. There's also a bunch of mods and texture packs for it.

Get it on Steam.

Cool, Ill look into Deus Ex, considering ive heard nothing but praise for it...
Should i get this version, or wait for the new one, thoughts?.

GOG.

Large catalog of classic RPG, RTS, and numerous other games. About $6 to $10 a pop.

I'd avoid Minecraft at the moment. It is low on content and fairly dull.

If you want a challenge then pick up Dwarf Fortress, but it has a fairly steep learning curve. Also a graphic pack wouldn't be amiss, as the bright ASCII art can be a bit painful on they eyes.
