HELP searching for pc games

Hello,

I'd like to know some of the best sandbox games you've played for the PC. Aside from GTA and its clones. Sorry but sandbox is term for a game which you can do whatever you like right? Like in GTA San Andreas where you expand your territory first before doing the last mission. So far, the best game I've played is Mount and Blade. Medieval themed, Hack n' Slash, capturing castles, and with a mod, captre enemy lords and receive money for their ransom. Please guys, help me out.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I'll try to search for that on the Internet and download the demo if available. :)

Wow a Mount and Blade fan. I thought I was alone.Wasdie

Hello,

Greetings fellow Swadian!... eer are you?... lol... I love the action while on horseback. I hope the upcoming release is not a disappointment.

Thank you guys for the suggestion. Really. Keep em coming. :)

Hello,

Thanks you guys for your replies. :) I didn't know there were so many games like these out there. Please keep em coming.

do the turn based RTSs count? like the imperial campaign in Rome:TW. your goal is to take over Rome basically lol, but you can do it in whatever manner you wish. For example, I was playing last month as Julii (start north of current Italy) but i took a navy filled with a huge army all the way to Egypt because they were advancing too fast (i thought i'd give them a visit). needless to say, there were too many riots going on after i took their cities (culture clas/ distance to capital were major factors) so i had to pull back... yeah so it's one of those games you can have long conversations with :P. and i can go on to tell you how i dealt with the britons, but i'll save you some reading...

Hello,

Yes, I have played Rome Total War. My friend and I swapped games and this was included. I had fun with ROME TW. I like very much their costumes. They look like red army ants. I even tried to recreate the scenes from the movie Gladiator. lol! You should try the game Gangland. Now that is some hardcore gangbangin' fun. This is an RTS (I think) game. You play as a leader of a gang. Then you take over business' to profit from them. If somebody else took over that business, then you can simply muscle your way (liqour store, apartments, Amoo store, etc.). Oh, and you get to have all the ammo you want in this game. If you own two Ammo store, then you're all set. You should give that one a try. :)

Any kind of sandbox pc game will do fellas. Please, more suggestions. I hope i'm not too demanding.

There is another Gangland style game called Escape From Paradise City.

Its a hybrid RPG, RTS that has you trying to gain control of the city against various gangs.

I am a big fan of this genre too. Missing from the list are Boiling Point: Road to Hell and its upcoming sequel White Gold: War in Paradise, where you take on the role of a mercenary in a banana republic. I haven't tried out Just Cause yet so I am not sure if it fits the genre or not. Then there's the old Pirates of the Caribbean which I didn't like that much due to its console-style interface, but to each their own.
