ShaggyRS6 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 For a good cheap game I have just bought DEFCON, blow up the world, play against others online. there is no online fee and the game is only a tenner to download. http://www.everybody-dies.com/ Loads of fun.

Wookie Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Battlefield 2, closely followed by Half Life 2. Either of those is worth a punt. HL2 is seriously good, or you could go for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. It's a bit old now, but it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr W Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 No they definitely don't. Can't see kids these days accepting hand me downs from older sibblings. I had a box of lego and another of Meccano and was left to my own devices to see what I could come up with although not as fun as taking the old Tv set to bits when it bust to see what was inside, hours of fun. However I think kids miss out now as parents are to scared to let them leave the back garden whereas I spent every minute I could down the woods which backed onto our house buliding bases, shooting stuff with air rifles, making fires and generally getting up to mischief. Very happy memories which I wouldn't trade for a games consol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_HMR Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 One of my favourtie games and still is is operation flashpoint although we play it through a home network brother neighbours about 4 or 5 of us and its brilliant fun the amount of addons is unreal but Unreal tournament 2000 is such a brill game hours apon hours of fun online to be had.

Hardy Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Have to put my bid in for Everquest (the origional not EQ2). The graphics arn't as good but the content, interactivity and general involvement are some of the best out there - it's managed to stand the test of time afterall. Theres a full version of the game with all the expansions for about $20 then costs about £10pm to play. You can download a free trial version to start - think it gives you 1 months play, pick your world (mines Povar) make your charachter & aways you go!! Only word of warning - it's not nicknamed evercrack for nothing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddan28 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Call of Duty 3 on the 360 is brilliant, nothing better than playing as a sniper, laying in some tall grass and slowly taking out oncoming infantry! Although the shotgun is useless over about 10yds. Rainbow Six Vegas is bloody good too, although beware it can be quite laggy esp with any yanks in the room. As for PC Gaming, nothing beats Counter Strike! Rise of Nations is pretty good, its a RTS where you advance through various time periods, nothing more satisfying than seeing a medivial armada coming toward you when you are in the modern age with Dreadnoughts and destroyers!

fiiish1987 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Call of Duty 2 is incredable on PC. it's all i play now and online multiplayer is fantastic. The downloadable mods can be great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer rabbit (r1000) Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Unreal Tournament - makes doom look like teletubbies unreal 2004 - many hours of fun blasting the **** out of everything & everyone using some insane weapons, there are also shedloads of bonuspacks, upgrades, skinmods & maps available (you can also set the gore level to an inhuman level if you know how - great for the sniper rifle ). or if you just want a good laugh, go for hogs of war or any of the worms 3d games & use some insanely stupid weapons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only word of warning - it's not nicknamed evercrack for nothing!! DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET INTO MMORPG's (massively multiplayer online role playing games). Really, you stand every chance of loosing your job/wife/life/shooting Like Hardy says, "evercrack" is a very apt title. I have lads at work who play "the game" (I won't let them call it by name) and they don't do a lot else other than come to work looking like zombies.
