Calling the PC gamers!

[Call Me Wesley]

I usually look forward to play a bit when the nights get longer, and I just found my old Wing Commander games again - which, of course, look pretty silly now. But that's the kind of game I'm looking for, and I'm pretty much out of the loop. Is there some decent stuff avialable today in this genre that uses all my machines ressources up? Good graphics, etc?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance! :hi:

1. Warcraft man!

I still play Warcraft...yeah, the first one..its a classic...and star craft, so...my advice should be taken with a grain of salt...:P I usually leave all my game play to the PS2....:)

4. LOL!

I played Warcraft as well ... Civilization ... Sims ... etc. But I'm looking more for something action-like with a sci-fi touch.

:hi:

10. Not much help from me

the last sci fi game I played was.....gasp...Star Fox for the Super Nintendo...unless Starcraft counts...:P

11. Isn't Starcraft just Orcs in space?

Just kidding! I love these games, but I'm looking for more action, quick to play. I don't want to go back to the days when I could stay up all night. ;)

3. I don't usually play that sort of game

(Though I did love me some Wing Commander back in the day!)

Anyway, point being, I don't know whether it's any good or not, but I saw a new similar-ish type game called Sword of the Stars the other day.

:shrug:

You might look into it.

As I said, I'm out of the loop.

Thank you! :hi:

13. If it's good, let me know

I usually do RPGs, FPSs and Civ IV these days, but I'm always up for something new!

:D

5. Hi Call Me Wesley!

Long time no see! :hi:

I'm afraid the only games I play on my PC are 1st-person shooters, of which Doom 3 is my favourite.

8. Hi billyskank!

Doom 3 eh? I never got warm with it, honestly. It was all this walking around ... I like flying more. :rofl:

9. The walking does make your feet sore

from the ground. Who knows who touched them before. :scared:
