"Huzzah!"

I finally got my new PC... True, it's still in bits. But it will be oh so much more powerful than this one.

Anyway, soon as this PC is rubbish, and i wouldn't even think of playing ANY 3D game on it, I have no idea what games are good and what are not.

So. Would anybody me so kind enough to give me a short list of games i should look for?

What genre you interested in? The only PC game I actually have on my computer is Max Payne 2. I'm thinking about putting CounterStrike back on as I downloaded Steam a while back and saved the installer to disc.

Get Max Payne 2 if you haven't already. That's all I can suggest I'm afraid - I hardly play games on my PC nowadays.

Knights of the Old Republic
Call of Duty
Mafia
Deus Ex (then if you really like that, get the sequel.)

And get Far Cry on the 26th...

I have KOTOR for my xbox, as well as Counter Strike + live making them quite unecesary. What's the multiplayer like on CoD? I played one player on someones PC and wasn't overly impressed by it.

Games to get? Well, GTA Vice City should look great with a powerful graphics card, so get it if you haven't already. Otherwise I'd reccomend UT 2004 and Halo.

And although the graphics won't exactly be groundbreaking, put down a preorder for Age Of Empires III: The Age of Discovery- it should be fantastic, seeing that the earlier game rawked, and this is set in 1600-1900, which means some damn nice weapons. :D

AOE 3 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!

I spend half my life on AoE II at the moment, with that being the best game i can currently play. *preorders*

I might get Halo for multiplayer. I also have Vice City on Xbox, so i see no reason to get that for some better graphics (although there is the downloadable mods for it i hear) and i'll have to look up UT 2004.

It's available to preorder, and in fact I have just claimed it as a Gameaday prize. This is a bit of a shot in the dark though, seeing that there I haven't even seen any screenshots.

From what I've heard, it will be unveiled at E3 and released in the run up to Christmas. Hopefully this won't be another case of Halflife II, otherwise a nine month wait may be far longer.

Been on ES website and found nothing... But i'll take your word for it.

Unreal 2 is great, and the XMP add-on is top quality.

Unreal Tournament 2004 is soon with us, and looks set to kick ass.

Indeed. It hits the stores tomorrow.
