Some games?

[mike-db]

Alright, so I'm looking for games. Fun games, challenging games. I'm not a puzzle type of guy so Myst is out of the question.

I already play wow, but it gets boring. I have found that I play way too many fantasy games. (FATE, WoW, Warcraft 3) I'm looking for something to fill my need for awesome. I don't care if its fantasy or not I'm just up for having fun. I do have Doom 1 - 3 & the expansions.

My problem is that I cannot play today's newer games but more over games released at least four years ago. Can anyone suggest anything?

Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary is quite some hours of fun and it was even running on my P4 1.7 ghz with a Radeon 9800pro.
if you want multiplayer games try UT2k4. its still very active and it doesnt get boring imo cuz you play different people on different maps and different gametypes. + its 10€ here. and since steam has the unreal series, its 10% cheaper there.

Easy enough, The Orange Box. First of all It scales very well on older hardware so if you can play wow you can defiantly play this fine collection. The orange box comes with the well written and produced FPS know as the Half-Life 2 series, it also comes with the critically acclaimed Portal and insanely addictive multilayer team fortress 2.


Metacritic Average: 96%

The orange box huh? I was wondering but when I read the sys req. for the games I became very scared, I don't have a graphics card by the way. One of the Intel things I dunno.

onboard graphics eh? You said your system can run WoW though right? Looking at the system requirements it appears the minimum requirements are lower for Half-life then for wow:

WOW Minimum:

CPU: PIII or Athlon 800Mhz
System Ram: 512MB
Video: T&L capable, 32MB

Half-Life 2:

CPU: PIII or Athlon 800Mhz
System Ram: 256MB
Video: T&L capable, 16MB

The orange box however is a little steeper which is probably due to the inclusion of team fortress 2.

Team Fortress 2

CPU: P4 or Athlon 1.7GHz
System Ram: 512MB
Video: DX 8 capable, 128MB.

I wouldn't let the requirements scare you too much and onboard video though still quite slow has come quite a ways. According to the manufacture my notebook doesn't meet the requirements to play Team Fortress 2. Being that my videocard a Radeon mobility 9700 has only 64MB or ram. Yet the game runs just fine on the system provided I just scale back the video settings. If you want to play it safe then just pick up half-life 2, but if your feeling bold I would still give the orange box a try. Heck you could drop less then $35 and make the game look great,

PCI-E: Radeon x700 256MB

or if you computer is older then 2/3 years and lacks a PCI-E port then...

AGP: Geforce 6200 256MB

either of these two cards will open up your options as far as games considerably and neither will break the bank.

[mike-db]

Thanks for the help. I'll try to scramble some coin.

[Psythik]

Yeah those vid cards will work great on the Orange Box. Hell, I can run HL2 on max graphics settings in 1680x1050 on an ancient P4 3.4GHz, with 1GB of slow PC3200 RAM, and a shitty 128MB Mobility Radeon 9700 -- and still get an average of 30 FPS!

[P$ycHo™]

he already has a never ending game: WoW

[Jooh]

WoW isn't WOW!

[Vil]

Black & White/Black & White 2 are quite fun... I mean, you get to play god, how can that not be fun? [Sacrificing children to yourself is time well spent.]

If you are into strategy games, the Total War series is quite enjoyable. Also, the old Command and Conquer/Red Alert series are very enjoyable, if old.

[P$ycHo™]

C&C red alert as in C&C 2: Red alert? win 95/dos? that game was so awsome!

[Too-DAMN-Much]

black and white and it's sequel were pretty good, the only thing that bugged me was the mouse gestures to cast some of the miracles, i could only do one or maybe two reliably.

the Lara Croft games are indeed great, Anniversary is a great game, nice graphics and a good remake of the old Tomb Raider game. Further, I can advise you to go and play some Counter-Strike (1.6 has got a great gameplay !!!!) or some heavy TEAM FORTRESS 2, this is a must-have game. You never get bored of this game, so many playmodes, chars, weapons, different tactics to eliminate the enemy, god you'll LOVE it

If you want to play fun and free online games, you can play Friv. Friv is a category of games where you can play without download anything. Have fun right now

[JimmyGamers]

I can recommend some multiplayer action games, I have chosen some games that I think are the best: Crazy Pixel Gun Apocalypse 4, Combat Pixels SWAT & Zombies Soldiers 3: Honor & Duty and other juegos friv 2019 in the categories action and multiplayer. Have fun!

[formate]

Kingdom hearts saga, if you have not played any of them yet, you really have to.

Do you like racing games? This time I'm playing Madalin Stunt Cars 2, and it's really fun! There are too many improvements or coughs compared to part 1. I really like a Lamborghini.
