I've been neglecting my rig. I need to put down the console controllers for a bit lol. Any opinions on some games that are must-haves on PC? :)

Any game that was made for the PC is a must-have.

FPS: Half-Life 2, Doom 3, F.E.A.R. (Not 2 and 3), Crysis (Not 2)

Strategy: Civilization 5, Shogun 2: Total War

Adventure: Syberia, Myst 3 and 4

Just though I'd throw some F2P games out there --- -Quake Live (Quake 3 Arena in a browser, it's wonderful) -Tribes Ascend (only played at a friend's house due to my crap machine, but it's a lot of fun and has a pretty active community to boot) -Team Fortress 2 (nothing to say, it's a total riot) -Fortress Forever (Source total conversion mod, think TFC in the Source engine with some slight changes)* -Insurgency (semi-trying-to-be-realistic military shooter, Source total conversion mod, pretty active community, really promotes teamwork)* -Battle for Wesnoth (one of the older games in the open source movement, an INCREDIBLE turn-based fantasy strategy game, highly recommended, active multiplayer as well)* -Alien Arena (think a beefed up Unreal Tournament with sharper visuals and a smaller, but very friendly, community)* * = 100% free, there is nothing to pay for whatsoever That's all I've got for now, if you're looking to potentially save some cash and have a lot of fun. Good luck! :)

Honestly my current "Must Have" PC game is definitely Arma 2 Combined Operations. There's so much good content in that package that you absolutely can't go wrong. If you have any patience in your body then you'd be doing yourself a favor to get it and enjoy some Arma 2 online matches, some OA matches and especially some DayZ matches. Great games, excellent price, thus it's a Must Have! Hell even the singleplayer is a lot of fun (AND incredibly complex if you want to really dig into it).

I like this list, although it needs Command & Conquer: The First Decade. I would also put Sins of a Solar Empire on there.

Listen to this hunk. Get it for Day Z though. Lots of fresh gameplay experiences to be had.

I heard Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, is the greatest game ever created for the PC. I'd say get that one first.

There are so many:

  • Diablo 1/2/3
  • Doom 1/2/3
  • Half-Life 1/2
  • Quake 1/2/3/4
  • Starcraft 1/2
  • Team Fortress 2
  • World of Warcraft + expansions

These were the ones I could remember for being more known and hyped but there are many many more.
