yea, definitely one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. max payne 1 & 2, mechwarrior 2, dues ex, left 4 dead, fallout 1 & 2.
and all of those'll run on old computers except left 4 dead!

Left4Dead itself sucks donkey nuts. I couldn't stand it. Max Payne 1 & 2 were the real bee's knees - apart from that stupid drug/dream sequence in 1.
EDIT: I guess we all have different tastes. Funny, I've been thinking of having a go at Max 2 again - for old time's sake.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundCrysis is lame, utterly overrated. Bioshock is good, but the 70 degree field of view is head-mangling I loathe it. L4D is awesome, but only if you play it online and with people you know on your team, you also absolutely must have a headphone mic and the phones should be surround sound if possible.
It's ok. I'm more of a crysis man myself, but i just bought Bioshock from Steam,and that's pretty fun.
Originally posted by StarrmanI've only just got my PC back together. Only got 2gb memory as two of my Dims were fooked, and one of my four ram sticks. Haven't played it online yet, i'll give it a bash later.

I was going to get FEAR 2 from steam, but it looks a bit expensive atm.
edit....completed crysis, and it was ok. I have crysis warhead to complete now, as i bought that and left 4 dead just before my computer fried.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundIt's not all that anyway, I'd give it a miss, personally. I'm somewhat intrigued by Batman: Arkham Assylum and very much looking forward to Modern Warfare 2, which comes out in November. Do you like strategic FPS and if so, have you played ARMA2?

Warhead's almost exactly the same game..
Originally posted by StarrmanYes, horror and shooting are usually a good mix (as long it doesn't have either "resident" or "evil" in the title). I nearly completed Fallout 3, right up until the poison was supposed to go in the water purifier.

ARMA2? Never heard of it. I'm quite new to gaming really, haven't even played Halo, or Half life.
