What's your guys' favorite type of PC game? I'm mostly into pinball,got into pinball since playing that Austin Powers one at the movie with my friends. And I have forgotten how much fun and such a time-killer it can be.
What would you guys' also recommend? I've been searching for some and couldn't find any that I like. Any suggestions?

It's all about emulators for me, but I enjoyed Worms back then... I wish we could get stuff like the Ys remake or Zwei in english...

It's all about turn based strategy games like Civ, Civ 2, and Masters of Orion 2. Those games use the strenghts of the PC to the utmost, and are damn fun to play (Plus it's nice ruleing over the world/universe...).
I'm also partial to a bit of multiplayer game fun as well, which still seems to be the domain of PC's (Though the console's are doing their best to break in).

I play CRPGs (can't wait for Neverwinter Nights!), and the occasional FPS. That's pretty much it.

Blizzard.......hmmmm.......never heard of them. I'm just barely getting into the PC gaming now. What good games do have they made/published?
BTW,Juan,how's the coloring?(not to rush,of course).

Warcraft, Warcraft II, Starcraft, and both Diablo Games. All of them have been among the top selling PC games ever....
I still have a soft spot for Warcraft 2 and it's zany little Orc Peon's. And the funny conversations you could get out of your units if you clicked them too often...

Blizzard games are top there! check Diablo2 (rpg) and the coming WarCraft3 (it look so sweet) Blizzard games are few so few , only 3 series but they are well done (almost perfect) I liked FPS (Unreal tournament was so awsome) what else? hmmm.... Max paine was good too (TPS) in the PC word try to download the demo before buying the game! unlikely Blizzard never put demos! for now I recommened you to see Medal Of honor see this link to download: http://downloads-moh.ea.com/mohaaspdemo.exe this is the single player DEMO there is a mltiplayer demo too! http://downloads-moh.ea.com/mohaampdemo.exe have fun!

Thanks for the link,Dragon-warrior.
and the next one on my list is WarCraft3 and after, StarWars Galaxies.
Hey talbaineric nice av :p
If you have a good computer, and a good cable/dsl or better connection a computer game that is addiciting and so good is RTCW-Return to castle wolfenstein. The multiplayer is so intense you can get 64 people trying to complete mission objectives at a time. It is a first person shooter. but it still coasts 50 bucks so blah.

They do have some sort of a demo, most of their games have the ability to spawn copies of the game into computers (and of course the spawn doesnt have everything, just like a demo.)

They are a bit more selective about the testing of their games. But hey, if you really want to play a game before buying it, then look for a friend that got it before you.

that's true! and most of the games do not need a CD to play them so just install them then return the CD! (unreal tournament have this option!) I don't remember other games.

You said it! The GC Phantasy Star Online Part 1 and 2 looks really good, plus introducing 3 new character classes and the new stages will really make it a worthwhile buy.
I just wish that Sonic Team would release this game on the PS2. Buying a gamecube will kill my wallet :p

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is great. I think the multiplayer is worth the price alone.
Serious Sam is a lot like the old Doom games. Forget about tiny corridors so common in most FPS. It's really intense, full of action in locations outdoors and indoors. Online play sucks with this one. Perhaps on a LAN it could be fun. It does have a Cooperative mode, and that rocks! Also, it's cheaper than most games. Haven't tried the split screen mode yet.
Any game based on the Q3 engine is ok, especially because most of them have mods available. I played Quake 2 mods for years after its realease thanks to the mods. (Arena and Action are my favorite).

ooh! ok! been waiting for a thread like this. most of my friends are either console game guys or computer game guys. i'm a bit of both
the computer games i'm actively playing now are - starcraft brood wars - warcraft ii (and soon 'cause i'm buying it tomorrow) - worms world party
i'm also buying it for psx ......... which gives me an idea for another thread so i can get a quick answer. ah, anyways
the computer games i've played before but don't play much anymore for one reason or another are - the sims (big time drainer) - unreal tournament (no one to play with ) - monopoly (sigh no one to play with. www.games.com -- i think that was the address. if anyone wants the exact address, i'll get it for 'em -- has a java version of monopoly you can play with others but the web site screws up a lot, bah) - doom, doom ii - quake - duke nukem 3d - countless others

Emulators here, and also Civilization 2. That's a great game. If I find a moment in which I have time and money, I'll try Civilization 3.

I think it would just end up fuzzy like most games which i dont want. But... sigh the gamecube gameshark will be out b4 pso comes out..... Unless sonic team takes the time out to make them totally incompatible it wont be any better than the dreamcast versions.

Mmm, I have no favourite blocks, but I usually hang out with Japanese players. It's a bit easier for me because I'm in the South East Asia zone. Plus I play with the Japanese version of PSO, so no "American Go Away" messages for me :D
Sorry that your characters were stolen :( That's the bad thing about playing online games with a lot of cheaters and bad sports around.
