"Bargain games"

I'm getting a new PC soon. Significantly better than the 233Mhz CyrixII I'm currently running.

As such I may need to get hold of some PC games I've missed over the last two or three years, and are now bargains.

So is Black and White worth £10?. How about Desperados?

What else would you recommend. No FPS, because I'm crap at them.

Oh, is GTA3 okay on the PC, or should I wait for Vice City.

CM4 is also a must buy, should run alright on a 2.6Ghz. Faster than CM99/00 on a 233Mhz?

There are quite a few bargains I get; I'm a big fan of Budget games. I say zeze iz barginz!

TAKE ADVANTAGE £9.99 RANGE:
Tropico
Oni

XPLOSIV £4.99 RANGE:
Sonic 3D
Railroad Tycoon II

You might mistake Operation Flashpoint for a FPS but it's not really, it's much more playable in 3rd person perspective, is diametrically opposed to most FPS and is an absolutely cracking game. Although I can't believe you're actually considering going out and buying games, surely you've won enough!

Warcraft III and Age of Mythology are also pretty good, but not as good as Starcraft which would have run fine on your Cyrix :O(

Master Of Orion and UFO: Enemy Uknown are both excellent, although they'd run on a 233 as well - if you can find a copy anywhere. Also any of their sequels are worth purchasing.

Civilisation 3 is pretty cheap these days, that's a good one to go for.

My sister got Grim Fandango a few days ago, that was on budget. Also, great game I think everybody should play is Fallout 2. Ok, it's not exactly recent, the minimum spec is a P 90Mhz, but still a great game, and I'd reccomend it if you haven't already tried it.
It's an RPG loosely based on Mad Max. But it's very good.

And now I realise you want bargain games.

Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island games are on budget now I think. Depends whether you like that sort of thing though!

Desperados is good, but Commandos 2 is better.

Erm, Does Jedi Knight 2 count as a FPS? Its a great game and isn't really a fast paced 'blow-em-up'.

Splinter Cell is good too - should run nice on a 2.6GHz and is nice and slow compared with Unreal 2003 etc

What type of games do you like then? Being a ninty I guess puzzle/platformers?

Another unmissable game is Mafia.

General recommendations. No FPS. :o)

Well would help to see what kind of game u are looking for if its FPS.. well there's loads.
