I'm looking for a computer game to get my brother for his birthday, and I figured you guys might have some suggestions. What do you think are the best games out there right now that you play??

Thanks.

Call of Duty

Max payne2

KOTOR

etc.there is many good games

I wouldn't get Max Payne 2 unless you've got the first one. I couldn't make head nor tail of the storyline so I went out and bought the first on.

Need For Speed Underground is pretty good if you're after a car racing game.

How much do you love your brother? (i.e are we talking full price or budget game here? )

We currently share it

And full price. Like, the new stuff. Budget games are good too though, if they're really good.

Maybe Homeworld 2....

[Taristin]

In That case, find the original FS1 box set.

Planescape: Torment is the BEST SP PC RPG that is not a port from some other system.  It's 2d as well, with music by Jeremy Soule.

Something new?  HW2 shouldn't be bad, XIII might be okay.  NWN Gold if he wants a newer RPG.

I never got on with planescape torment at all. Just couldn't get into it, which was a shame because I always hear how great it is.

XIII is a bit crap, tbh. Too console-y, unfortunately. Try any (or all) of these:

Call of Duty
Halo
Rise of Nations
No One Lives Forever/NOLF 2
AvP2
C&C: Generals

I second Call of Duty and Rise of Nations*.  Also KoToR.  Traclmania is a pretty good game, albeit hard to find.


*although there is an expansion pack due for RoN - it may be worthwhile to hold back iun this case and see if there's a reduction / bundling of the original

I notice you didn't use the phrase 'keeps on comming'

[karajorma]

I'd recommend Hostile Waters as a great budget game

You can pick up the two Total War games quite cheap too

Good games I've played for PC

Halo; If the system supports it. Very fun MP. if you don't get it for the single player, get it for the mp!
FreeSpace 2; Great game that kept me guessing til the end! Also many mods for it.
FreeSpace: The Great War; Another game that had me on the seat of my pants. Old, but good,
HardWar; Great game from about '98. Think Freelancer only with a much better storyline™.
Age Of Empires 2:The Conquerors; Old now, but still fun at times in my book.
Quake2; Just in case you just have the urge to just kill. MP I found was very annoying since it's plagued with bots and cheaters.
BattleZone 1 or 2; Great if you want a combo RTS and FPS.

Thief:The Dark Project; Thief 2: The Metal Age: The mothers of all 1st person sneaker games and they belong to my list of the best games ever. But be aware that if your brother is a homicidal maniac he might not be happy with those games since in some parts of the game you aren't allowed to kill any person at all!:D

Freelancer : A rather good space game. It's not as good as older games from the genre like Privateer but I had a lot of fun with it.

Wing Commander Prophecy : One of the best space simulation games ever made. Not as good as the older WC's but the only game from this series where you still have a chance of getting it without being involved in a crime.

Freespace 1&2 : 'nuff said.

Battlefield 1942 : Notmally I don't like multiplayer games, but this one was good.

1.) FS2 - but since you have it, it doesn't matter

2.) Halo - halo ROCKS. who cares its from microsoft, this game makes up for all the crap games they have made so far (except a few)

3.) Warcraft III - not too sure about this, but i heard its good

4.) Battlefield 1942 - possibly as fun as Halo, 'cept its MP mostly. Hop onto a plane and go KAMIKAZE!!

5.) Armada 2 - again, not too sure of this...C&C Generals is waay better i think

6.) Red Alert 1 - if you can get this, then kudos for you. RA1 held some of the best fun for me when it came to RTS

7.) Civilization 3 - for hours of non-stop fun.
