What game?

Post by ADV4NCED »

Hey, I need to get a new game and I dont know which games are any good - havent been reading much pc format in the last few months. I played a demo off a pcformat disk awhile ago called Condemned: Criminal origins which I thought was excellent.

I can't find it anywhere though, not in any shops and not on any sites such as kalahari.net!!

I read that Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales is quite promising too, anyone got any input on that?

I'm not too keen on Battlefied 2142 as there is no real single player and my internet is a joke.

Any other titles worth looking at?

No offense dude... seriously... but all those games you mentioned are crap, save maybe BF2142, but then again you dont have the internet.

Like only one said... the new splinter cell is worth looking at... the xbox360 version got a great review on ign.

I would say to you upgrade your internet connection and get WoW. It is quite simply the best game I have ever played and it is so worth the monthly connection fee. It is so good that I haven't bought any games since I got WoW in July and the only games I am gonna get this Xmas are:

NFS Carbon and the new Splinter Cell.

Sorry I said your choices are crap, I wasn't trying to flame u mate... just an observation.

Another truly epic game... if you are into RTS is Company of Heroes!

I wouldn't recommend dark messiah... sounds crappy.

Honestly, read some reviews here:

pc.ign.com

pc.gamespy.com

pc.gamespot.com

their reviews are in depth and very accurate and conclusive... you cant go wrong with their opinions... I never have.

You also can't go wrong with WoW... nuff said I suppose!

ps. neverwinter nights 2 - 86% on gamespot - nice!!!

*caugh* piracy *caugh*

lol kidding :D

i wanted to buy that Ultimate Alliance today but decided to read the review instead, and its just a lil better than the X-men Legends titles. And i wanted to buy Guildwars, cause i dont have the monthly fee to pay.

Do you guys think guildwars (first one) or the new nightfall is worth buying? cause i read that factions is not worth it, but i want some opinions please on it

@Jdoa: I quite enjoy GW factions... Most people don't coz it's too easy to get experience and it isn't enough of a traditional roleplayer. This suits me because i'm impatient. :)

But if I were you I would start with Nightfall. If you love it go for the others when/if you have the time and money. The different sets of content work together really well.

well, I have been playing carbon for like 30mins... and I still feel like it is in a tutorial.. it is quite an indepth game in comparison to the other NFS's. looks good... still very arcade feel.. I like it.. I will be playing it all weekend.

Flatout 2 was pretty cool if you like destruction!

I choose the cars with med handling.... and upgraded so I had the best handling.... probably the most important thing, the handling had to be over 6.0

and then I kicked all kinds of bottom, best racing game I've played in years, my fav thing to do is to take the school bus and ride around the crash alley and smash straight into oncoming cars and send them to their doom!

flatout2 8.7

I don't think I've ever beaten another racing game before.... the game is so well optimised to looks great on ghettoware and high spec... you can even turn the music off and run mp3s in the background.....
