Title: Now that I've given up on WoW, I'm lost on things to play. Recommendations
Post by: Forgotten Ancient on February 21, 2008, 11:23:51 PM: I have every system but a PSP and I own a badass computer. I prefer arcadey shooters, RPGS, and strategy games, but enjoy pretty much anything.

Help me out. Anything on Steam I should buy? I need advices pleez. I'm going through WoW withdrawals.

For western RPGS, The Witcher is a great choice but it's supposedly to get a massive upgrade in a few months so I would wait on it. Titan's Quest and the Expansion is great fun if you loved Diablo. For a more strategic RPG, go with Neverwinter 2 and the Expansion.

There've been a ton of awesome strategy games released on the PC in the last year. C&C3, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict are all highly recommended. Sins of a Solar Empire and Supreme Commander are great too but they'll require more time and effort to learn.

In terms of shooters, what have you played in the last year? There've been so many FPS games in the past year that it's kinda hard to recommend any, withou knowing what you've played.
