I'm looking for a good computer game, anyone have any that they really like?
im into almost any type of game (mmorpg, fps, strat, ect..)
-
I am really enjoying Hidden & Dangerous 2 at the moment. It's a little buggy in parts, but has great atmosphere.

Deus Ex: Invisible War.
Just recently replayed the original DX in preparation for DX2.
If you want a truly great and "believable" plot with a ton of interaction, play these games.
----
Also, H&D2 is on my list.
As is HL2 (when released).
Have you tried the Red Orchestra mod for UT2003?
Also been flying Forgotten Battles online recently. I can see it becoming tiring though with the small arenas. The online organized "wars" I've read about look fun.

I just grabbed 'Hordes of the Underdark' add-on for Neverwinter Nights. It's the best module that I've played so far on NWN.

anyone play PRINCE OF PERSIA: the sands of time?
this game looks good?
-
I've just been to the Call of Duty website and the game looks utterly gorgeous. The review I read about it (famespy) said it was the best WW2 fps the reviewer had ever played.
Thanks for the tip, Furball. I know what my next purchase is going to be...

Keep in mind that I hate first person shooters....my son's friend turned me on to this America's Army...I'm having a blast while Dale does what Dale does and that's hopefully fixing some gameplay issues.
It's free btw...680meg:)

Silent Storm. WWII turn-based squad tactics.
Deus Ex 2. Scifi FPS with heavy RPG elements. The first one had THE best storyline I've ever seen in a game. The second one will hopefully be even better.
-
Tarmac,
I've just read a review of Silent Storm and am tempted. Have you played 'Combat Mission - Beyond Overlord'? How does silent storm compare to this?
One thing the reviewer mentioned was that in SS the computer took ages to calculate its turn. Did you find this to be the case when you played it?
cheers

I loved the first Deus Ex also for the same reason ... am looking forward to DE 2.

Run from Railroad Tycoon 3. It sucks.

SS2 is a fantastic game.
Be aware that it is a ww2 game with a SciFi twist.
The ai can take up to a minute on the larger maps to figure its moves. No big deal really.
There is a free demo to download, but it won't be released in the US until the begining of next year. You can, however, get a copy from GB sent to you.
Demo available from this site: http://www.silentstorm-online.com/main.php?lang=en&rid=596

Never played CM - Beyond overlord. There a demo out?
I wouldn't say it takes ages by any means. Sometimes a minute. More if the enemy is in your view, as it actually shows them running around and shooting at you. I wasn't put off by it at all (at least not in the demo version).
I'm working on getting the full version, but I won't be playing it until after final exams.
ed: grab the demo, about a 180MB free download. It only gives you one axis and one allied mission, but I must have played each about 10 times. It's addictive.

Uncommon Valor: Campaign for the South Pacific

Best game I've played in years. Strategic/Tactical WWII action in the Solomons/New Guinea theater of operations.

Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord (CMBO West Front) is a bit dated now but still lots of fun.
Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin (CMBB Eastern Front) upgrades the graphics and tweaks the game.
The just released Combat Mission: Afrika Corps (CMAK Italy, N. Africa, West Front?) is the latest and last for this engine. AK has a few minor bugs probably only noticable by the grognards, I'm sure these will be patched up. There are plans for a new game engine for future games.
You might be able to find CMBO and CMBB special editions (extra scenarios and mods) in stores (I saw CMBO-SE in best buy, CMBB-SE at EB). CMAK is only available by mail (as were the other titles when first released).
All games are playable via tcp/ip or pbem. There is a thriving mod and scenario creation community.
Demos are available for all 3 games of the Combat Mission series at battlefront.com (http://www.battlefront.com).

Thanks Tarmac & Furious.
I'll download the demo once I've got through H&D2.
The home page for CMBO is here:
http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmbo/cmbo.html (http://http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmbo/cmbo.html)
There is a demo. The graphics are nothing to write home about but I found the game play incredible. In addition to the single player campaign, you can play head to head battles by lan or email (bit fiddly but it works), or if you have a mate round, you can both play on the same puter by taking turns.
Line of sight works very well. There are also night missions (star shells included) and the game is pretty scaleable. The game also has a pretty easy to use and intuitive mission editor.
CMBO has quite a cult following and is definitely worth a look.
