Post by: Flannel Boy on January 25, 2008, 09:43:24 PM: I used to play everything except RPG games.

Might as well start with the Orange Box as it is a safe pick and Company of Heroes since it came with the card.

I know there is a copy at my CC, pm me if you want it I'll grab it while I'm on errands tomorrow.
Title: Re: Malek am PC Gamer?
Post by: Eric P on January 25, 2008, 11:54:50 PM: that sherlock holmes game is a lot of fun

but it can be kind of hard to spot clues unless you cover some areas with a fine toothed comb

it got a little frustrating for me and i didn't want to bow down and start using a walkthrough

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened isn't a great game, but it's worth $10. It's kind of like Call of Cthulhu for the Xbox in that it's got some parts that are really cool and then some other parts that just kind of make you shake your head, but it's worth playing. I paid $30 for it which was too much, but I would have been comfortable with paying $20 or less.

Oddly enough I own BF2. I bought it at Walmart for $5 a few months ago. It ran terribly on my old graphics card so I never played it.

Post by: tiesto on January 26, 2008, 01:28:13 PM: I'm gonna head over to my CC and look for Darwinia, game always looked really cool with its graphic style, though I'm not a big RTS fan. Also gonna look for Titan Quest.
Title: Re: Malek am PC Gamer?
Post by: Eric P on January 28, 2008, 08:43:28 AM: bioshock is fun, but i kind of wish i had waited for the price to go down first.

there's really little to no replay value

I worked all weekend but I managed to play for a few hours. I love the style but the game doesn't really grab me.
Plus I suck.
