Ok, so i've not properly played a PC game for a few years, seeing as a have a PS3 I usually just play on that. I'm trying to find a PC game that will get me back into pc gaming though. I like quite a few genres so i will consider most types of games.

Is there anything you would recommend that might get me playing on PC more?

Thanks

You can install steam and buy and play games through steam client. Steam also have some free to play games like Dota2 and Team fortress 2.

I know you're probably going to roll your eyes the moment you notice that its a web flash game but just try it, its glorious.

The Witcher 2. One of the greatest Rpg's Civiliztion 5. Though most people who dont game on pc will see turn based strategy and turn away Civ V is the easiest to get into the series with a great tutorial and probably the most addictive game out there and even newcomers after a few turns they will feel the need for one more turn. Oh it has great graphics as well Finally Metro 2033 for your fps fix. It really shines on pc

You could try some of my favorite PC exclusives released in the last few years -

Mount & Blade: Warband with the Prophecy of Pendor module for SP, and the cRPG module for multiplayer. Ridiculously addictive RPG game that you'll probably waste months of your free time with. Very popular online, and there's a giant community around it. There's also a official expansion called Napoleonic Wars which is also excellent.

Legend of Grimrock. A excellent 1st person dungeon crawler with beautiful graphics, great dungeon design and a wonderful combat system.

Tribes Ascend. A quality MP FPS with a big community and wonderful graphics.

Torchlight II. A addictive point 'n click hack 'n slash RPG.

King's Bounty: The Legend. A excellent RPG/Strategy game.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent. A excellent first person horror game.

Depends on your preference and what's already in your collection:

Some suggestions:

TES: Skyrim

Fallout New Vegas

Just Cause 2

XCOM: Enemy Unkown

Spenlunky

Steam as a bunch of great titles new and old including Doom and X-Com series.

Modded Dark Souls with a controller

Mount and Blade WB with CRPG mod

RO2

Witcher 2

Terraria

Crysis maximum edition

Crysis 2

Star Craft 2

With the exception of Crysis 2, all of the above games are highly addictive.

Been a while since you made a funny post ionusX, but congrats it's not only funny it's so...derp, you can't even comment, but I'm sure skareo will come here saying something random and irrelevant. You already got some strong examples, besides the multiplats that have an outrageous amount of improvements and custom content on PC, don't know what else you'd be interested in, but World of Tanks is a fantastic F2P online shooter, there's DOTA 2 (if you're interested I have a few invites as I'm sure most people have, so you won't have a problem getting into its closed access state), Trackmania 2, Killing Floor, some city builders maybe Anno 1404, Anno 2070, Tropico 3 (better than 4 imo), Civilization V.

Thanks everyone, nobody has mentioned it but Heroes of Might and Magic VI, I used to have IV i think it was and enjoyed that so thought i might give it ago. I might try Starcraft 2, everyone says how good the first and second one are but never played it myself. Also might take a look at Tropico.

As for Skyrim I've got that on ps3, If there's something that is available for PS3 and PC I would pretty much always go for the PS3 version. As for Guild Wars 2, I don't want something that is too massive. I want something that i can drop in and out of.

Hopefully there will be some good PC exclusives coming.

Amnesia is an excellent choice. The Witcher is also a good choice. Also, you can go to Steam and see a slew of Indie games.
