Reccomened games?
<div class="IPBDescription">Or mods?</div>Hey guys, I've been bored with computer gaming lately. I'm looking for something.... I don't know... fun, I guess. Maybe something with an interesting gimmick, like use of physics or something.
I've played through Need for Speed Carbon. Too easy...
I've tried Stronghold: Legends (Way to ruin the series, Firefly!)
Sadly haven't touched NS. :/ Will try it when 3.2 is out again.
I'm downloading that "RoboBlitz" demo by Valve, using the Unreal 3 engine. I'll see how that goes.
I've played through, and have got bored of, "Toribash" - a physics based, turned based fighting game. (So much damn fun!). <a href="http://www.toribash.com/" target="_blank">http://www.toribash.com/</a> if you're interested/
Just canceled my WoW account. >.>
BF2142 is teh sux.
Any suggestions for a bored Sid? :/

Get your ps2 online, and pickup Socom: Combined Assault.
So much damned fun, that game. Dont know why socom is always overlooked in the area of online gaming; it easily stands up on its own to games like Halo2, Counterstrike, and battlefield online.
Probably because the ps2's online service overall is crap, but socom online blows your pants off. (And puts them back on for you!) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" />
Jumper and Jumper 2 <a href="http://www.helixgamesinc.com" target="_blank">link</a>
Very addictive and hard platformer. Everything a game should be: Its simple, yet undeniably fun. I personally think this guy has serious design talent.
Netrek <a href="http://www.playnetrek.org/" target="_blank">link</a>
Great online mutiplayer game. Very tactical and strategic.
Hostile Intent (HL Mod) <a href="http://www.hostileintent.org/" target="_blank">link</a>
Its like CS, but fun. Emphasis is on tactics, not mad point n' click skills.
Kiki the Nanobot <a href="http://kiki.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">link</a>
Single player 3D puzzle game. Interesting physics.
On a related note, if anyone knows of a game as epic and addicting as NS 1.04 I'd like to know about it. Even if it isn't free.
I only played the demo though.
Err, physics... dark messiah has some fun use of scenery...err...will post more tomorrow, 5.34 am and up at 8 >_>
Deadly Rooms of Death (DROD) <a href="http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewsitepage.php?id=90294" target="_blank">link</a>
Its... hard to explain. Mostly a puzzle game.
Never was interested in the "abandonware or not" discussion. As all the new consoles seem to have backwards compatability or an online library of old games- it probably is illegal.
So don't do it.
I'd recommend Football Manager 2007 if your in to football and half-arsed playing
If there aren't any spawn points, where do babies come from?

It has to be either nanites or bacteria.
You'll thank me later.
Got a PS2?

Hmm... I have a lousy first gen PS2 that I'm playing Okami on, how would I go about getting a net adapter for it?

Heh, I've played through the armadillo run demo millions of times, great game! Although, I'm too cheap to buy it. >.>

Would it be illegal for me to say "get a SNES emulator and try an old Final Fantasy game?".
Never was interested in the "abandonware or not" discussion. As all the new consoles seem to have backwards compatability or an online library of old games- it probably is illegal.
So don't do it.

I know what I'm about to say will/might get me banned from the NS Forums:
...I never liked FF. :x

Try the HL2 mod eternal silence? I still can't fly those damn crafts!
I'd recommend Football Manager 2007 if your in to football and half-arsed playing
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I Love that mod, lots of potential.

How about focusing more on IRL eh? eh? A really neat game with great graphics, Nice looking girls and no spawn points.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I get pwned too easily in IRL. :x
Actually.. listening to myself reply, it seems that I have lots of games to play. o.o Maybe I was wrong, and just didn't pay enough attention to my own hard drive. Thanks guys, I'll be sure to check out each link in this thread. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />
Who knows, maybe this thread could serve as a collaboration of links to interesting games and whatnot? So our Children's Children can be happy and find some games to play! ...Or not.
But anyways, thanks. You have quenched Sid's boredom. +exp!
..Maybe I'm just waiting for that super awesome game to come out? Have you guys noticed that lately? Lackluster pc releases? Only a handful of good games released every year? What happened to a time when every pc game brought atleast something new to the table? D:
It's a really, really aesthetically pleasing game and climbing up the back of a giant leviathon to slam your sword in its back repeatedly before it flings you off is a great experience.
<b><!--sizeo:7--><span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><a href="http://agtp.romhack.net/doukutsu.html" target="_blank">Cave Story</a><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></b>
You'll thank me later.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Agreed, try and complete everything in the game (Believe me, there's a lot of hidden stuff)
Do you remember the thread we had about Cave Story?
Aparently they might be bringing it out for the DS
Or you could try the EVE 14 day trial.
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB4ZZWvbfwI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB4ZZWvbfwI</a> (Look how cute he is, with teh little hat) I asked several friends. Some thought it was FF online. but no... it was a game named FLYFF (Fly for fun) A FREE(!) MMORPG
wich could be downloaded directly from the page flyff.gpotato.com. So i downloaded it and started playing. The first thing that struck me was that it was directly translated from korean... (defansiv armour, Ofansiv wepon) However the game greatly improves after you have gained a couple of lvls.
You should try and watch the video and read about the classes and such. if you like mmos you won't get disapointed
And when you master it, Ufo2000 (port with online playing).
If you don't mind old games, there's a BUNCH of them which are well worth their weight in MB. (we are talking about a stellar quality:MB ratio)
Company of Heros? it is one of the best RTS although it required a lot of micro where i find annoying sometimes.
There's no pretending. I don't know if it's shader issues or what, but the hidden is next to impossible to see.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
its quite easy to see imho, if you are standing still
I preferred the betas, where it was the other way around.
