Recommend a game thread

This thread is for users to ask each other questions about games they wish to get. You can recommend games you like or answer questions for others. Personally, I recommend trying Football Manager by SI Games and published by Sega if you like Soccer.

Do the games have to specifically be management and/or strategy games?

Anyway, I recommend...

Warcraft 3. It's a very popular RTS that a lot of people still play and the learning curve isn't as steep as Starcraft and the custom games you can play online are a nice change of pace. You can get the entire Warcraft 3 battlechest for a reasonable price these days.

I would prefer it to be that sort but I may be lienient on other games as long as they dont flood this post.

I am tempted with Warcraft 3, especially since the Battle for Helms Deep map you have mentioned from LOTR.

A Sid Meier thread......that or something more specific like Sid Meier's Civilisation.

EDIT.: Also, something for the likes of Dungeon Keeper and OverLord, their Pretty Much a mix of RTS and a typical Action Adventure Game.

Helms Deep is awesome, but it's usually hard for the Orcs at the beginning, but once they overtake the gates, they can easily take the fortress.

I've heard good things for Overlord, I'll try that one if I get the chance.

Ah yes, I remember that game. Its very good although I prefer Empire at War as it has space combat. Its a shame though that the game is restriced in terms of having 5 units on the ground at one time and building is done in turns or units cost way too much like the AT-AT.Garfield360UK

Battlegrounds had space combat as well but it wasn't well made.

I recommend Warcraft 3 to beginners to RTS and Wargaming... easy to pick up and play and you get into the mode of using stragety.

$ or £ or Yen?

has anyone here played Lock's Quest on the DS

i tried out the demo off my wii, but am still undecided over whether or not to make the investment 

Reviving this gem of an old thread. Recommendations please!

I recommend Witcher: Enchanced Edition. If you have ever touched upon an RPG game, you must play this. You can actually skip Witcher 2, but you should not skip this one.  

Gave me countless hours of fun.  

League of Legends, it's one of the best Multiplayer Online Battle Arena games out there, and it doesn't have a steep learning curve like DOTA. 

To make things great, it's totally free.  

NOOOOOO dmr what are you doing playing lol??? Ha, and it isnt really free is it? you have to buy the characters right, like world of tanks?pai-may

Every two weeks, a group of free heros are offered which you can use to play for free. By winning games, you earn in-game currency (RP and IP) which you can use to buy heroes, or you can pay cash to get them.

If you want, you can play free forever without spending a single dime.

And I do enjoy the game, but I am no hardcore. I mostly play with friends.  

PLaying with friends is probably wise. My friend is an avid player and he says the lol vcommunity is terrible, full of people who just want to get other players banned etc, not very sportsmanlike.pai-may

Well ,yes, I've been a part of the DOTA community for a while and I know how nasty the MOBA gamers can get. Actually, the games are designed in such a way that one weak player can make a big difference, so people really get very nasty towards players like that.

I've encountered a different kind of problem lately, whereby very skilled players kicked our asses using low level accounts. I have only reached level 11 and I am expected to get teamed up with same level players, but this guy, despite of having a level 10 account was playing like an absolute pro.
