OK.. got meself a spanking new pc and looking to start up my PC games collection.
Where the hell do I begin?
Dont mind the genre - anything except adventure games where you have to build up your mantra or cast spells or any of that crap.
I shall listen, think, then buy.

first of all may i recommend jedi knight 2 : jedi outcast. light-sabre-tastic.
war strategy games don't come much better than westwoods red alert series, or the newer generals. another must (for me anyway)
then you want a decent shooter, may I recommend unreal tournament 2003.
and of course vice city is a compulsory purchase

I would recommended Battlefield 1942 over UT 2003 if you havent got it already.
Cool I will look those games up today methinks.
Keep 'em coming....

My new computer is supposed to be arriving today. Then I'll be able to play Battlefield. Yay!
Is the road to rome any good? And is there a sequel set in Vietnam coming out?

Mafia - Grand Theft Auto in prohibition-era New York
Vietcong - Best FPS of recent months, all bugs ironed out for UK release
Operation Flashpoint - Soldier "sim", horribly realistic but fantastic
Warcraft III - Build up loads of orcs, smash the ass off elves
Jedi Knight II - Good once you get the lightsaber
IL2 - Good flight-combat sim with not too much sim

If you're looking for a decent RPG to play, you could try and track-down the 2 Little Big Adventure (LBA) games, which have been around for quite some time, now.
If you can find them, they're brilliant.

Road to Rome is a good expansion, but very limited. Not much additions, but whats there is good. The huge hilly terrains of Italy are by far some of the best maps in the game, and you get to play around with some ace new vehicles.
Also, Battlefield: Vietnam to me looks crap, the same game but with fewer vehicles and maps. Although I am just saying this because you can already get a free downloadable mod which takes place during the Vietnam war, and it's one mod I prefer over the highly acclaimed Desert Combat.
Anyway, for recommendations I'd say:
Battlefield 1942 (because it's the best fun I've had with a multiplayer game, very addicitve)
Mafia (like GTA, but better in my opinion, it really needs a sequel)
Vietcong (one of the best tactical shooters I've played, and with some of the best A.I. I've seen in a game for a long while)
Medieval: Total War (If it's strategy games you want, look no futhur than this, it's huge and extremely addicitve)
Warcraft 3 (Not as hard as Medieval, but just as fun)
Max Payne (because it's better than the matrix game, and you can download tons of additions for it online)
Jedi Outcast (purley for the lightsabre action, and it rocks in multiplayer)
That's all I have to recommend for now, but they'll give you a good start in building up a nice PC games collection.
