Recommend me recent-ish PC games!

Russel, do you have RTW? If so, lets battle, if not... get it.

 

[Lunar Still]

My brother has it...I've played it maybe once, and was too lazy to learn all the new stuff. My laptop might run it...

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

It doesn't require too much.

 

[Anvil]

I don't care if you said "older games." These are some new ones this month that I'm psyched about.

Super Mario Galaxy
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect
Kane and Lynch

If you haven't heard of any of these, go look them up RIGHT NOW.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Well if they just came out, chances are I won't be able to play them.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I'm damn tempted to buy a Wii for SM Galaxy, Twilight Princess, and the new Smash Bros. Does anyone know how much they usually go for used?

Also theres Jade Empire max it was a great game though a bit short. Should be able to run it.

 

[Anvil]

They're only $259.99, and used I'm sure no more than $200.

Super Mario Brawl looks awesome as well, except they keep pushin' the date back. Now it's early February.

 

[EricT]

The Witcher.

 

[Burti]

Diablo, motherfucker.

Jeff

Hell yes.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I bought MTW2, Supreme Commander, and Company of Heroes today.

 

[Anvil]

Oooo, You need to go buy Hellsgate.

I'm not a fan of it, but it's basically Diablo 2 meets World of Warcraft, but first person.

EDIT: actually it can be either 3rd or 1st... kinda like World of Warcraft.

[JBroll]

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Pariah.

Also, Giants: Citizen Kabuto is interesting and great for a laugh.

Hugo's House of Horrors

That does, however, remind me. For those in the know, have any good Star Wars games come out for PC in the last decade?

As said before: Knights of the Old Republic is very good.

Hmmmmm..........

I don't know! But do you know of any like, forensic/investigative-type games?

Well, it's been out for a while now, but I absolutely loved Condemned: Criminal Origins. It starts with a Crime Scene Investivator (no relation to the TV series) trying to find a serial killer, but it becomes so much more. Throughout the game you find you way (and your targets) by analyzing evidence and looking for traces. It's very good.

A game I'm playing through again is Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Awesome first-person survival horror, and it feels like you're right in the middle of Innsmouth. Creepy.

Absolutely. Highly underrated game. A bit slow at times (and wickedly difficult - the back-of-the-truck part is insane), but the atmosphere is unparallelled. It's as good as Lovecraft's story.

IAlso theres Jade Empire max it was a great game though a bit short. Should be able to run it.

Jade Empire is a very good game too, indeed. But like you say, it's a bit short.

I can definitely also recommend Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. It's an awesome game, and the bugs are mostly resolved in the new fan patches (which are excellent). There's also Oblivion, which is good for over a hundred hours of play time, and which was, in my opinion, much better than boring old Morrowind, but opinion is divided on the subject.

*takes breath*

Neverwinter Nights 2 wasn't half bad, especially compared to the terrible piece of shyte that was the original.

As for non-role-playing games; get Civlization IV! I can't stress this enough - it's one of the best games ever made.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I wish I could run Neverwinter Nights 2

Do you think if I can run WoW with only a little lag I might be able to pull it off?

 

[El Stormo]

Well, lag is most likely caused by internet connection problems... but post your specs and I'll see.

Hugo's House of Horrors

YEAH, AWESOME

I was never able to finish Hugo's House of Horror's 2, damn you hugoooooooo

and the third one sucked.

 

[Will Bozarth]

was the 3rd or 2nd one in the woods?
