I'm in the <S>torrent</S> market for a PC game.:rolleyes: any suggestions?

Grim Fandango, Fallout, Fallout 2, old school LucasArts adventure games (ie. Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, Full Throttle). You can't go wrong with any of these.

The original Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Geez, I wonder if this belongs in GENERAL GAMING.

Please think before posting.

And just to prove i'm not a complete jerk, tell me a genre and I will tell you three excellent PC games in that genre.

Yeah I realised that a bit to late, As far a genre I want something like Dungeon Siege/ jedi knights.

Fable:The lost chapters

Go to gorillaz.com and play Hellydrop. :p

YOU SHOULD RUN OBLIVION ON HIGH SETTINGS FOR EVERYTHING

and if you can with no lag give me your computer

Lol so basically you are telling me to get Vista?

How about dungeon keeper 2!

Oblivion is, from personal experience, better on a good gaming rig than it is on the 360. At the moment I'm addicted to Need for Speed: Most Wanted. This is mostly due to the lack of challenge in NFS:Carbon. For some reason, I think you'd probably get a kick out of NFS:MW if you got a gamepad. :rolleyes:

OBlivion runs liek shit on my computer on max settings. I thought my 7800 gt could handle it. I recently played FEAR Extraction Point and found it pretty fun. A couple new weapons and a couple freaky scenes.

pc game? civIII

Bear in mind my software not so good I only have 248mb of ram, and a moderate graphic card.

SMARTIES YOU SHOULD UPGRADE TO 1GB

I know but no monies currently:(.

save moneys, get a job etc..it works!

Not many people wann hie 15 year old cept Mcdonalds. :shudder:

1GB should go around 70-80 right now, so I UNDERSTAND. Wait for RAM prices to DROP.

OH AND YOUR COMPUTER CAN'T HANDLE VISTA

My computer is worse but I don't use it very often so I am happy anyway. It can run Rome: Total War fairly competently so long as I don't fight the battles in the live thing and that is okay.

1GB should go around 70-80 right now, so I UNDERSTAND. Wait for RAM prices to DROP.

OH AND YOUR COMPUTER CAN'T HANDLE VISTA

Lol you think, also if I wait 4 ram to drop, I'll miss out on quality gaming.

@ Mossy I'm checking out the game right now.

Beneath A Steal Sky is a pretty good adventure game and Revolution have placed it in the public domain (you can get it through the SCUMMVM site).

i had obvlivion on medium settings. During the fight right at the start when those men run through your cell the framerate went down to about 5, lol.

Running it on full would make my pc give up and die on me.

I'm not even outside yet :(

Bear in mind my software not so good I only have 248mb of ram, and a moderate graphic card.

Uhh...the fact that you have 248 Mb of system memory worries me since they don't make them in that capacity. The only way to get that number is to have an integrated graphics card that uses 8 Mb of your system memory.

In all honesty, the only computer parts that are insanely expensive are the graphics cards. And it's pretty easy these days to get cards that are last-gen but still kick the crap out of the new-gen budget cards. The ATI X1900GT is good value for the price.

As far a genre I want something like Dungeon Siege/ jedi knights.

That isn't a genre, it is two completely unrelated games.

I'll just go ahead and suggest some classic PC games: WarCraft III is still one of the best real-time strategy games around, and if you enjoy the Jedi Knight games, I highly suggest Half-Life (1, not 2, given your system specs) as an enjoyable thinking-mans shooter.

I'll look into all of these thanks.

The Close Combat series is definitely worthwhile. To summarize it, if you're appealed by a very realistic World War II R.T.T. (Real-time tactics) game in terms of historical accuracy, and physics, then this is the champion. Each game focuses on different time periods and specific campaigns of the war in the European theater, which you can play as either opposing army during the conflict; the Allies or the Germans. Each side boasts their respective weaknesses and strengths, playing a key role in what you want in the long-run, or short-run, and influencing the manners of your strategies. (For example: The Germans may appear weak early on in the start of the game, but are more of a formidable opponent overtime, if they successfully delay the Allies from overrunning them with a surprise invasion. Whereas the Allies must strive for quick victories, because of a deadline they have, and if progress halts to an impasse long enough, they'll have to deal with the superior German tank divisions, further compounding difficulty to vie the Germans.)

As for physics, they're the most realistic that I've seen, despite being an outdated game. There's L.O.S. (Line of Sight), which affects how accurate your troops will fire on a target, and the likelihood of neutralizing said target.

There's boundless attributes to the cover protection you will place your soldiers into. A stone, multi-story building will drastically reduce the probability of your soldiers being killed whereas, leaving them laying exposed on the stretch of a dirt road in the open, is sure suicide.

There's a Morale System that will dictate how effectively your troops will react when bandying hails of bullets and screeching explosions between the enemy during frequent firefights. A soldier might start panicking, and become cravened, running away from the fight. Or, perhaps he'll rally his fellow soldiers around him with a heroic demonstration of gallantry.

There's many more aspects which I could cover, but I'll let you decide if you wish to know more.
