Hello folks, below is a list of games I either own or am interested in and perhaps if you know a thing or two about the game you can share your thoughts and insights on the game. A simple review will be most appreciated as well and not to mention hints and tips.

Here be the list:

1. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter I & II
- Its substantially different from the Xbox360 Version... Supposedly much harder.
2. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- Great RPG for those who really get into the live in another world bit. Graphic Monster though...
3. Fallout 3
- Its still about a year a way from being officially released but for those who know about it.
4. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl
- Incredible game with dated graphics due to its utterly late release... Still manage to bring about something solid on the FPS platform.
5. Warhammer 40K Dawn of War and all its expansion packs
- In my opinion one of the best RTS ever made. It has its general limitations as well in a lot of aspects.
6. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars
- The latest addition to the series does not leave me dissatisfied... Athough its marred by several balancing issues and what not...
7.Medal of Honor Airbourne
- I'm hoping this will be truly what they claim it will be and not dissapoint me the way they started dissapointing me at Medal of Honor Breakthrough all the way to Pacific Assault.
8. Call of Duty 4
-The way they are looking to bring that game about looks interesting.
9. Half-Life 2 Mod : Insurgency
- You have HL2? Then I suggest you find and try this mod out.
10. Warhammer Mark of Chaos
- This game really dissapointed me given that Dawn of War in some way counts as its predecessor especially in the expectations of how melee battle was suppose to be done.

Well thats it for now... more will come if there will be more,perhaps another postor maybe I'll just update this one. As for the FF games... Is it true they will are remaking VII in graphical splendor to be played in the newer consoles? If so... I hope they make a PC version of it :D

Oblivion is a very good game. I recommend you to check minimum system requirements though. My PC is right on the edge.

Command and Conquer is fun as well. I haven't played any in quite some time, but it'll probably be good.

I can only lend help on these two. Sorry.

My opinion, If you want something abit lighter then Oblivion, and not as system heavy, you should check out Fable: The Lost Chapters.
I've been playing it for the last couple of days and its really good. Plus it runs like a charm on my 5 year old computer. Its not as deep as Oblivion, but it sure is worth its price.

And also, I'm playing Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy is some countries) and its probably got more tension then Doom 3. That is unless of course, you know what happens :p

But anyway, I recommend both of those very highly.

Fable, I got hooked to that game on the Xbox. I finished it over and over again including the lost chapters... Oh yeah I know its really worth it :D Not to mention the available real estate option there. :D As an evil man I own all of Oakvale :D

Much of the balancing issues that were found in C&C3 were said to have been fixed by their latest patch.

Oblivion is a great game, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I am in the midst of playing Shivering Isles right now and it is amazing.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a pretty nifty game. I think it reminds me too much of Fallout though. It is a fun game and I like the story that goes along with it. But I'd classify that game as a futuristic version of Oblivion. Inventory managment and leveling up to some extent. All the while being able to take someone out with one carefully placed bullet from an AK-47. How much better can it get.

Fallout 3 - This game looks amazing. I've been a fan since the first one and I've played the rest of them since. However I've only completed Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. There's a huge preview of the game in the Game Informer from last month .. or this month I can't remember, but either way it has a huuuuge article in there that describes the game.

I also am hoping that they will be re-releasing FFVII on the PS3 in all the system's graphical splendor. I doubt it'll ever happen, but... I wish it would. I'd buy it. Either that or a handheld version of it on the PSP, that'd be nice too.

STALKER level up? Non such... Currently hooked on to that game but yeah its pretty much an open environment FPS reminds a lot of people of Oblivion but hey can you imagine what Fallout 3 would be like then eh?

Did you get custom content for Oblivion or are you playing it on the PS3? If you are, tell me the stuff yer using that I might try em out myself :D.

C&C 3 balanced yet? Nah... I still think the Scrin needs to be nerfed in the airpower bit a little more. They become way to invulnerable if they get that airforce up good. Base defenses are now a bit rubbish... reminds me of the defenses in Dawn of War... cannot be relied on.

Terti.. a good site you can go to is http://www.tessource.net/ they have alot of really good stuff in there. I use mods in the game. There's a couple that I feel are must haves, such as the addons, the natural environments mod and (i forgot the name of it) CTMod maybe.. it's a mod that makes the icons of your inventory smaller for easier management, and makes the map slightly smaller too so you can see more of it on the screen. It's nice. Doesn't change anythign but the size, the look and feel is the exact same.

You can also go to the official forums... there's a huge mod section where you can see the players themselves do the work in progress on new mods and you can give ideas and requests to those that are really good at doing that sort of stuff.

I do use Tessource :D Except I don't know which mods to download. I usually pick off the highest rated which usually is amongst the most downloaded but I know there are less famouse excellent mods out there and thats what I'm looking for. I'll look for that CTMod though, I do enjoy a good environment changing mod like the other one I got for the waters of Cyrodiil, it adds life to the aquatic zones like giving it more plantlife and marinelife aside from the annoying Slaughterfish. I'll check in the official forums as well, that I have yet to do. Thanks mate.

Yup, I've heard of the Gothic series except they got overrun by my bias to the D&D universe so I got Baldur's Gate series instead but I'm willing to try the games. 3 is still up in the prices so I'll go look for the older ones. They ought to be on bargain prices by now. Thanks for the referral.
