So I need a new game to play.. Daoc can get boring when there is nothing to do. I can play one game of PES before getting really bored. That's all I got atm. Daoc, PES and FH.. Not much entertainment :D

So I need a new game and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice game for me?

Another mmorpg is out of the question! Cba to grind anymore =D I've tried NFL, but got boring aswell, so no sports either. Car games don't really apeal to me either.

Something I can play alone without playing against others on the internet, use loads of time on and have fun with :)

So anything ppl played recently they wanna recommend?

Thx alot

Playing Oblivion on xbox atm, really pulls you in. Single player role playing game is easiest way to describe it I suppose.

Its visually stunning, masses to do and the storyline is excellent.

I've just been in a massive battle to save a demon infested town. Charged in with the guards and won the main courtyard back, then ran back to the church to fetch the key, bumped into a passing guard patrol who offered to assist and then charged back in with them following me.....AI ingame is great, you really feel like part of the world

FEAR comabt (its free) is the fear game, online fps best of all its a free download and free to play

bf2142 has a good online player base

americas army an other free fps lots of updates

supreme commander RTS its not free costs about £14:99 though so not to much theres some good online play to be had after you get used to playing.

Bioshock is sort of Deus Ex in a new wrapping, which isn't a bad thing at all. Im currently playing it and wow is all I have to say, certainly lives up to the extremly high average rating it has gotten in reviews(think the lowest I seen so far, was 9.2/10).

--------------------------------------

Vampire is an shooter/rpg focusing on white wolfs roleplaying world Vampire the Masquerade, you're basically a vampire in todays Los Angeles and have to work with the 'Prince' to do quests etc to protect the "Masquerade"(Vampires way of hiding their existance from mortals).

--------------------------------------

Company of Heroes is one of the best RTS games ever made, focusing on the American invasion of Europe during World War 2, well worth a try if you haven't played it yet - also really cool in multiplayer.

Oblivion is an very open ended singleplayer RPG with a huge world and a very free skill system, think of it like Morrowind(if you played that) but better. It is highly recommended you get it on PC however, there's hundreds of thousands of mods out there with new content to get.

you had played Tiberium Wars so no need to say more about that I guess.

Play oblivion on the PC if at all, that way you can mod it so the mobs are set levels and dont level with you (aka most-pointless-feature-in-an-rpg-ever)

I finished it in 7 hours on the PC(so had Lost Chapters) was the first time I ever played it :(

Apart from that it's a great game, im having high hopes on the 2nd one.

If you like turn based strategy games mixed with real time battle mode, try the Rome Total War and/or Medeival II Total War series - it will keep you hooked for years and there's a bazzillion mods out there which keep these games alive forever and ever. :)

Hitman: Blood Money. It's as close to a movie a shoot-em-up-game can get (atleast compared to the games I've played); the graphics and music are excellent and the story has been properly written.

And, of course, it's fun for hours!

Yours,
GRN

Already finished Pixeline, but I don't know how to get past the wolf in the forest in Magnus and Myggen? :(

I've tried looking for cheats, but nothing! I'm done with M&M tbh!



And I think I'll go out and buy Oblivion and Bioshock today.. Was thinking of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but a friend of mine says it's S.C.A.R.Y as hell :D
