I've been out of the PC gaming scene for a few years and I want to get back into it. What are a few must-have games that have been released in the past two years or so.. My comp can basically handle anything and I like all game types. (I already own Company of Heroes)

Also, something that isn't on 360 (ala Oblivion)

Oh dear...

  • Civilization 4
  • Galactic Civilization 2: Gold Edition
  • Guild Wars: Nightfall
  • Titan Quest and the expansion (Immortal Throne)
  • Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
  • Marvel Ultimate Alliance
  • Need for Speed: Carbon
  • Test Drive Unlimited
  • Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific
  • The new Sam and Max games
  • Gothic 3
  • Neverwinter Nights 2
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
  • Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War and the expansions
Really, though, this list could go on for a looooong time.

Started playing "Tomb Raider Legend" yesterday. Very good game, just the right amount of action/puzzles/adventure without ever getting boring, I think. And Miss. Croft is f-n hot :D   

Been getting bored with most games lately so this was very welcome :)

there hasn't really been much on the pc in the last few years that didn't also make its way to the 360 - but most of the good stuff has already ben mentioned

one game that hasn't, though, is medieval 2: total war - if you're hot for rts/tbs, it's a very good game

There are a lot of sick games out righ now. I'd say above all games, to get Half-Life 2. Best FPS I've ever played, and I've played most of them. After that there's a nice list of RTS's like Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars, and Supreme Commander. Both are awesome for RTS. Stalker is a little behind on graphics but has innovative play and the ballistics are on track with some of the best in the industry. Watch for Infernal and Crysis, both are bound to be huge games this year. And since you have a 360 you definetly have to play Gears of War.

my advice you give Oblivion another go on the pc. The modding community for oblivion is one of the best I've ever seen, There are some amazing mods around and they are all free.

World of Warcraft FTW!  It'll certainly give you a few hundred hours of things to keep you occupied.  XD

C&C 3 tbh. Just ordered my copy today, I think it has good Multiplayer potential.

Dont go buy WoW, its living on the hype these days.

If you like Company of Heroes look for Act of War you'll probably like it too.

World of Wacraft Burning CrusadeDouglasBuffone

 As stated before, IMO, dont. Its living on the hype, and the devs. have no clue about what to do with certain classes atm. MANY people have left in the last few months, and I heavily doubt that there are 8.5 millions still playing.
