A question for everyone...

I am looking to buy a few games for my computer. Most of the current titles I have I have beaten and grown bored with, so I'm asking for any recommendations on titles that you have. Option for multiplayer is preferred but not required. I really appreciate any help.

a little info would be helpful, as in what type of games are you looking for. FPS, RPG, whatever la etc.

Also, only PC or console as well?

Grand Theft Auto's newest comes out tomorrow I believe. I don't think you could go wrong there.

Unreal Tournament 2003 is superb, so far. I picked it up this weekend. Beautiful maps, fun gameplay.

Delta Force Blackhawk Down comes out November 12th and is a very fun game. Currently there is a Multiplayer Demo out that you can download at http://www.novalogic.com.

That's the only other game I play

Aye, PC games only, unless you know of any good Psx 1 games.
I really prefer fantasy RPG's and Strategy-Storyline games, but I enjoy just about everything.
Is Unreal Tournament 2003 heavily dependent on ping? I still use a 56k and during Counterstrike I get much higher pings than other players. I played the old Unreal Tournament and had a blast, but FPS' are always difficult for me due to lag.

BF 1942 is cool. But a little old I will admit.

No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way is a terrific game. It blends FPS with a good (often very funny) story line, and isn't your standard frenetic UT2K3 style game play as you have to use tactics and sneak around a lot. The AI is pretty good, and it has multiplayer capability. In fact, the NOLF series is a great set of games if you haven't tried them yet.

UT2K3 is an excellent game if you enjoy fast-paced FPS action. For me, almost nothing compares to the joy of turning my opponents into human torches with the Lightning Gun or burger chunkies with the Flak Cannon. The graphics are beautiful and the new mutators add a new dimension of fun.

Icewind Dale II is one of the most awesome games out if you like Fantasy RPG. Before it came out, Morrowind took up a lot of my time - the world is HUGE and there's so much you can do in it. If you want to stay in fantasy lines but go multiplayer, I'd have to suggest Warcraft III. But if you can wait a little longer, check out Age of Mythology. I've played the beta version and it's cool. And by cool, I mean totally sweet. Less resource management, more enemy crushing action.

JKII: Jedi Outcast is extremely fun, especially if you turn on the realistic lightsaber cheat (it dismembers opponents). It has multiplayer and... well hell, it's STAR WARS. You get to be a JEDI. SWEET.

Sorry for the mini-game review, especially for my first ever post here. A friend brought me back to EQ after nearly a year off, and I've been involved in A LOT of other games until recently.

I'm still enjoying Never Winter Nights and Dungeon Siege. I'll probably check out Age of Mythology though.

Other than that, Unreal Tournament 2003 is probably my most played FPS, with Jedi Knight following close behind.
