what kinds of games.

[GodBoy809]

ok, there all sorts of topics on consoles, and best games...but, what is your preferred genre of game? Me, i like rpg and stratgey games, some sports and racing games are ok too.

 

[SirKenin]

FPS is my fave I think the genre is kinda beat though.

 

[SUNSTONE]

Competitive games.

Fighting
Sports
FPS

I think the best has to be anything that requires team effort. Like Ghost Recon, and the soon to be sports games that will have whole teams face each other, instead of one on ones.

I love strategy games -- Warcraft III, StarCraft, Age of Empires/Mythology.. I also love RPG's: Morrowind is huge, I can't find enough things to do in that game. I'm also getting into FFX.

As for FPS's, Half-Life takes the cake so far (until HL 2 comes out). A close runner up for me would be Rainbow Six: Raven Shield. Helping out with the war against terrorism. =)

FPS owns all. CounterStrike. Max Payne. Unreal Tournament 2003. Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Soon = Max Payne II, Half Life II, CS 2.0/CS Condition Zero. Doom III.

PC gaming is for advanced users; not like toss-in-the-CD/DVD-and-play, as it is with consoles.

 

[SoldierofChrist]

The only thing about FPS's is that all you pretty much do is run around and kill everything. They don't take a whole lot of intelligence.

PC gaming is also for the rich/hardcore gamers. It takes a chunk of change and a devotion to gaming to keep up with PC games these days.

 

[Cherberrie]

I like interactive fiction/puzzle games, like the Myst Trilogy. I also own all of the Sims expansions except for the current one. I have been known to enjoy an action-type game, like American McGhee's Alice.

Max Payne is 3rd person.

Return to CW... I bought two copys of that, one for me, and one for my brother. I played it for a day or two, then took it back after a week or two. My brother played even less than that.

PC is about to meet its match against Xbox, and future Xbox's.
You have to keep giving out money to keep that PC gaming going. Money for PC, repairs, and alot of games charge you a monthly fee to play, and if you want voice, I think that costs more money.

Xbox, one year fee, games. Thats it.
Plus its a Bill Gates production, pretty soon the government is going to be stepping in to put some restrictions on his console gaming.

Games like Castle Wolfy, and Unreal, are like that. Its all about the quick trigger.

But your on PS2, and you don't know all about the Ghost Recon goodness.
Its not about a quick trigger, but about team work, and execution of some well thought out plans.The quick trigger is there in some games, but mostly its about who sees who first. No danceing around, no running around like rambo. Stealth is the major factor.

Trade in that PS2 and get an xbox.

FPS is my favorite. And then...the older style RPGs. MMORPG is great too.

Yes Max Payne is 3rd Person Action - it slipped my mind.

Anyways, PCs are WAY more than simply games. They are much better for online gaming for one, they are also for internet browsing, video-editing, movie watching, chatting, offline gaming, etc. etc. Are you coming to CF from your XBOX? Ha, I think not. All my online games are free, unlike the XBOX Live and PS2 online deals. I build my own PCs and repair them myself - no money wasted there.

I know there are some good free online games, and that the PC "can" be better than xbox, depending on your set up.Also were not talking about surfing the net, I did that with dreamcast, thou.

Do you have voice chat on your computer. Does it cost money for chat?
Xbox is standard that every game have chat with it.

If I had the money, I would have a super computer, with everything including chat. But even still xbox is super cheap compared to PC.

Actually I do know about Ghost Recon... I pretty much beat that game months before XBox fans even HEARD about it! I have a good 3d card on my PC so I play a lot of games on there as well. A lot easier to control FPS's with a mouse, anyway. I practically have my own XBox right in front of me.

The campagn is boring to me. I mean its ok, but did you play it online?

 

[Sharky]

I like fps and Rpg games. Especially games that will last you for aaaages. I hate playing games that can be finished in a few months. I like games like final fantasy 7 or bauldurs gate 2. 100+ hours of gameplay.

 

[RazorX]

Well I'd have to say FPS, RPG, RTS, and third person shooters.

 

[paulewog]

RPG, strategy.

 

[RazorX]

I was really into RTS games for a while like Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, StarCraft, and Age of Empires!

 

[Dyrwen]

I started off with RTS games, but have soon gone into FPS games. I love Tribes 2 a lot.. although my one MMORPG -star wars galaxies- now works well too.

 

[marmaladePRO]

Age of Empires etc, the entire series is fantastic, pm me and we can set up an online game sometime
i played Halo with some church folks the other nite, it was my first time (playing halo, not being with Church folks ) and it was a great fps game... i really enjoyed it! sop yeah, xbox is all right... though i play on *all* consoles when i get the time.
