View Full Version : Looking for new games

At the moment I'm attempting to think of some new games to buy which would be fun to play online or at a LAN with friends.
I'm mainly into FPS, Some RTS (sci-fi based and some fantasy based) RPGs and anything insanely random (like a game called "WTF Work Time Fun" on my PSP)
Anyone got any ideas? currently we mainly play the following at LANs Call of Duty 4, Frontlines Fuel of War, Rise of Legends, Dawn of War + exps, and a few others but not as much as the ones I've listed.
Will be buying Team Fortress 2 this pay or next.
Note:
I'm not a Starwars game fan or a HL fan

Quake Wars: Enemy territory is good. I am still selling a copy for $15 new. It sells for $40 in stores. ;)
Team Palit from these forums runs a QW:ET server so you could play with guys from this forum! :D

battle for mid earth i think is a pretty good game i like it at times it proved to be a bit of a challenge
also maybe css?
ut3?
also if you liked portal there is a mod for hl2 dm that allows you to have a little fun with the portal gun i think its called timportal or something i had a few good times with that
also another mod that is FREE and quite fun is pvk II

ahhh UT3 is kinda frowned apron at the LANs i go to we jsut play the original UT games (kinda a long story to why UT3 is frowned apon)
CSS isn't my bag either... the game would be better if its gamers were so ehhh "highly strung" xD
might check out those portal mods though :D

If you have steam download Pirates, Vikings and Knights II. I think I play it more than any other game I have. It's truly awesome and fun!:toast:

Bioshock (SP only)i found good fairly good plot to it too. I will have to say Armed Assault that has a MASSIVE fan base but only good if your into realistic army war gaming. Company for Hero's for sure pick it up for about $44 inc x pac 32 or 33 missions in total and WELL worth it.

Oblivion can be done Multiplayer, not sure how interesting it would be, but pretty.
GTA:San Andreas has some Multiplayer mods for it too.

there are still some superb Doom3 servers running, and most who still get out to play are great sports as well (none of the n00bish or 1337 crap). Especially if you've got some decent FPS skill, Doom3 matches are still quite entertaining.
Haven't checked in a long while, but I think there are still a very devout Quake2 fan base, as well - really great game for multi.

Team Fortress 2 and Tabula Rasa are pretty much all I play nowadays. TF2 is really fun.

I think since PVKII is a mod you need to have Source SDK installed too. Steam does it all automatically.

Portal was cool just criminally short ya can also go for the bf2 games sure they were buggy but they were fun as.

Sorry for the huge reply but:
its free to dl ;)
yeah I know lol, I'm Anti-steam
hate the fact you pay for a game on there and have to have the program running to play it, and its full of ads and stuff. I'd rather spend the same amount of money and get the game off a ebay store in a another country and have the box,disc,manual and stuff (which is the same reason I don't pirate games >.<')
Sorry if that seems a little hostile but one of the guys I LAN with is utterly obsessed with steam >.<'
Bioshock i found good fairly good plot to it too. I will have to say Armed Assault that has a MASSIVE fan base but only good if your into realistic army war gaming. Company for Hero's for sure pick it up for about $44 inc x pac 32 or 33 missions in total and WELL worth it.
Yeah i Enjoyed Bioshock too.. never finished it though i started to lose interest once i got a ton of quests i had no idea what to do about xD
Oblivion can be done Multiplayer, not sure how interesting it would be, but pretty.
GTA:San Andreas has some Multiplayer mods for it too.
Oblivion I haven't got around to checking out yet so I might give that a shot soon.
GTA2 was the last GTA game i really enjoyed xD
there are still some superb Doom3 servers running, and most who still get out to play are great sports as well (none of the n00bish or 1337 crap). Especially if you've got some decent FPS skill, Doom3 matches are still quite entertaining.

I use to have Doom3 i bought it when i still had my old Celeron 900 but i couldn't run it till i upgraded and it went missing O.O'
Team Fortress 2 and Tabula Rasa are pretty much all I play nowadays. TF2 is really fun.
Team Fortress 2 getting and i should be on Tabula Rasa Tomorrow because it looks like my net connection has been fixed ^_^
World in conflict
And Bioshocks single player only i think
WiC was pretty awesome but it was to short :(
I enjoyed the pipe hacking mini game in Bioshock xD
UT2004 if u don't already have it
Warcraft 3 ( dota )
had both of those but they got lost in the move last year :(
If you want Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode Two just give me your steam ID and ill send em to ya :)
I don't use steam xD
Well, if you are into half life kind of games get the Orange Box asap.... it´s fantastic...
I'll be getting the Orange box for TF2 and portal mainly (Selling a mate my AMD 6000+ when i get my Intel Q9300 next week and using the money to get the orange box) :P

Crysis' mp is fun. The power struggle maps that is. Kinda like Counter Strike, meets BF, meets Alliance Battle (Guild Wars) and good graphics to boot.
Nuthin beats campin out on a nearby hill's folliage nit picking with your Gauss from afar ^^

I wasn't much of a fan of crysis to be honest lol
