I just love this new forum and am very excited about it. Anyway, there are thousands of PC games around the world. What is your favourite ? Remember only PC, you can't say any Playstation games !!

My favourite is always Matrix: Reloaded. I just loved the action and graphics in the game !!

I don't play PC games often but one that I was obsessed with until I finished it was 'The Last Express'. One of those ones that you had to do everything in the right order to proceed properly and it took me weeks of sleepless nights to get right.

I can't go a day without a session on "Bookworm"I have only reached Archivist (does anyone know what comes next?)

I don't play games all that much but I did persist with Bookworm for a while. I got the score to over 1,000,000 and sent this picture to a friend of mine to prove it (you can see why I didn't get any further!). He sent a picture back a couple of days later showing that he'd got a good few thousand more than I did. I haven't got that high since.

My title after getting this high was 'Bookworm'

I'm addicted to Civilization III right now

it's horrible...I can't sleep, I can't eat.

wait...

My people need me!

I got addicted to bookworm as well. Plus there is an online version of Settlers of Catan, a very addictive group board game.

For a gift last year by husband surprised me with my real first PC game called "Dungeon Siege". While I'm still a beginner and sometimes (okay more than sometimes) have to rely on hints and codes, I'm having fun with it.

I can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned Quake or Unreal Tournament. They are why the PC was invented!

Warcraft[not #3 though].Starcraft.Red Alert.Command And Conquer........Duke Nukem,Doom and Quake were fun also.Dune 2000 was worth the twenty dollars.

Doesn't anybody like the Harry Potter PC games or the Commandos game. And what about the old fashioned DOS based games like Dave and Prince of Persia.

I remember Prince of Persia as this game was an office favorite when we all worked weird shifts......If I recall correctly, you only had 1 hour to beat the game. Most people in my office gave up after I had completed it, as they wanted to be first !!

It's hard to pick a fave. There's been many gems over the years and I've been lucky (sort of) to play and test thousands of games on every platform. I'd think Starcraft by Blizzard would be my top pick. It has a solid story, controlled environment multiplayer with the battlenet servers and probably the best race balancing of any RTS. I was involved in the beta project and game launch in Australia so I guess I'ts a sentimental favourite as well.

I love any RPG's especially those which D & D rules like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale etc
Racing Simulations like NFS, Test Drive etc; of course the 'commando' series!
Other than that, there are games like COUNTERSTRIKE, IGI etc which are too good to be true

BUT my favourite, by a long way, is GTA 3 and Vice City. (similarly Mafia)

I really enjoy Civ II. Civ was a bit too simple and clunky, Civ III has nice posey graphics but has become too much of a war game, CIv II is just perfect.

Just occasionally I will play a flight simulation but as I keep crashing anything bigger than a Cessna I get bored with it easily.

Games may come Games may GO but there can never be another AOE2.
By The Way Angi I hate commando for obvious reasons.

What are the obvious reasons, Manvinder ? I'm curious to know as Commandos is one of my favourite games.

Dave is an all time classic. When you're wounded of fighting commandoes or fatigued of hitting fours on Brian Lara Cricken on PC, just go for Dave.

Well, has anyone played the Sherlock Holmes game. That's all a sort of mind game plus some action. That's better than Harry Potter game.

A bit out of context with the thread since I already mentioned Bookworm, but maybe anyone else who plays this game will be interested. After 19 hours and 22 minutes (ten minutes here, half an hour there over a good number of days) I got the score up to 1,837,460. The title doesn't change after Bookworm Supreme. It just goes Bookworm Supreme 1,2 (and 3 I'd think if it goes higher).

I'm fed up with the game now so this should be last time of posting on it.
A picture to behold!

tw, seeing that high score, I'd like to do as well as you. Do you know where I can play Bookworm ?

Bookworm is can be played free through Yahoo! Games; out here. From what I see, it's one of the more popular ones!

The shareware version of the game can be downloaded from here, but you'll have to pay to get the full-version!

I downloaded and bought the full version of Bookworm. I also bought a couple of other games on offer for a bit of extra cost. I don't usually play them all that much (Bookworm has been an exception up to now) but they will be good as stand-by entertainment when the grandchildren come to stay and it's wet or cold outside.

Has anyone played Under the killing moon or Indiana Jones?
Yes these two games are older but good, I like adventure games.

Well, I havn't really played much PC games, but my favourites are Rollercoaster Tycoon and I'm not sure if RPG Maker is considered as a PC game as you are making an RPG game

I did play the Rollercoaster Tycoon trial version but I didn't like it too much because you had to clean everything up ! I did like Tomb Raider, has anyone played that ?

Yeah, I've played Tomb Raider. However, I've only played it on the Playstation and a bit on the Nokia N-Gage.
