What's the hottest computer game out?

I just bought a new PC and I want a game to play

I don't even know what's big right now and what's not... multiplayer is a plus!

(Not World of Warcraft)

I would say if you havn't played hl2, you should give it a spin, you also get cs source and hl2 multiplayer, only thing is steam is a pain in the arse.. still. It's a well done game though.

Fear is pretty nuts, or the demo was, i still havn't bought it. But it has some pretty neat points, like melee combo stuff, it also happens to be the most demanding game on your system graphically.

If you have a new computer thats considered high end, definitely try out F.E.A.R.

In the next few months some really good games will be coming out.

I downloaded the FEAR dmeo this morning and had the lights out in my second room where the computer is, with the volume loud. I have to say my heart rate went up a bit.

it totally depends upon which type of game you're into. there's very good games in every genre, many of which don't appeal to me in the same fashion with which the games i play don't appeal to them.

sadly there is no word of a new starcraft strategy game. only starcraft ghost, which is a 3rd person Metal gear solid type game (stealth-action). which still isnt out yet, right?

Half-Life 2 - get the game of the year edition which comes with Counter-Strike Source, Half-Life Source, and Half-Life 2 Multiplayer.

Call of Duty 2
Battlefield 2 & its expansion pack called Special Forces
I have yet to play F.E.A.R. due to me having a crappy system, but yea for multiplayer I say stick with Battlefield 2, you won't be disappointed.

And if your in the mood for an RTS game, The Battle for Middle Earth II comes out at the end of this month!

If you're into single player RPG's, Oblivion will be out next month and it has the HIGHEST requirements for any computer game I've seen.

So is this basically going to be a RPG with the graphics of a current-gen FPS? Even so, I can't see there being as much a demand for physics calculations and so forth. I'm just having a hard time comprehending why an RPG would have such a high recommended system spec.

I suck too, at least relative to some people here. I beat the game on Moderate but started an "extremely difficult" game and I'm getting my ass kicked

Call of Duty 2
Battlefield 2
Diablo 2 is an oldie but goodie.
Doom 3 is another great one that will scare the crap out of you.
Quake 4 or whatever number we are on now.
Age of Empires 3
Empire Earth 2

It all just depends on what kind of games you like.

Day of Defeat is pretty raw. the graphics arent the best but the multiplayer in this game kicks ass

how is the multiplayer in COD2? is it on par with counterstrike and DOD? i hate straying away from VALVE FPS games because im always dissapointed.

anyways...anyone check out EMPIRE AT WAR. im thinking about checking this game out. its either that or im going to go buy an old school star craft and get hooked on that crack instead



BTW laptops suck for gaming. i sold my laptop asap.
