I like video games as a medium for entertainment, but I have a hard time finding games that I like. I am interested in science fiction based games that involve exploration and puzzle solving, with an interesting and engaging plot. I'm not too interested in fighting monsters, or really in fighting anyone. I don't mind a bit of action if it helps the plot, but I prefer that the game is plot driven and more imaginative than shooting.
The games I have enjoyed the most are the Myst series and the Portal games.
On a technical side, I have a Windows 7 PC to play on. I wanted to play the Uncharted series, but it is not made for PC gaming.
Any suggestions? |

I've been in the same position with Star Wars Rogue Leader and Rebel Strike coming out only on the Gamecube.  In the end I just decided to buy a cheap Gamecube, but I haven't had the self-discipline to learn how to use the controller as well as I do a computer joystick. |
