New PC Games??

[Mark07]

Hi there, recently I have been looking out for some good PC games but was not able to get my hands on any great ones. I'm looking for suggestions from people who play single player first-person shooting games on their PC.

Previously I have played some cool games which include Deus EX, Project IGI 1&2, SWAT, Half-Life, Return to Castle Wolfestein, Hitman and some more which I can’t remember right now.

I would really appreciate if I get to know some more games from you guys like these which have good graphics and interesting mission levels.

Best Regards,
Mark Peterson.

I play Battlefeilds... Great games as you're not stuck being a person, you can jump in planes, tanks, boats... Basically yousee it you can steal it..

Not that familiar with shooters, but there's a list of them (for PC) at ign.com -

Battlefield 2 is a great game. So is counter-strike source, half life 2, quake 4, command & conquer 3.

Quite helpful links there pumpingiron and keps. There are a whole lot of games and I’m getting confused as to which one I should go for.

@Patonb - Battlefeilds sounds really exciting and with that stealing feature in it, it’ll be more fun I guess.

For members who are game for Bioshock it might be a very good pick but I’m looking for games which are more realistic in their approach and not just non-stop shooting but since this game has such a high rating and the graphics also seem to be great I think I may give it a shot.
BTW that was a good link Juke spin.

They didn't leave out us wheelchair pushers.

HERE'S the BioShock Hi-Def full screen trailer. You may need to click on the "Full Screen" button and perhaps the F11 key on your keyboard.

Better have a pretty fast Internet connection though. The graphics look great but it's another blood, guts and gore FPS game. And it's single player only... no online play. Isn't that out of the ordinary nowadays?

The last FPS game I bought was Max Payne... that was a longgg time ago. I'm just into combat flight sims and a little Tiger Woods PGA Golf now.

You better have a computer with a lot of horsepower under the hood.

Minimum always MEANS Minimum! They're trying to sell as many units as possible. And you'll probably need to be at the top-end of the "Recommended System Requirements" scale if you want to max out the eyecandy with a high resolution setting while getting good framerates.
