I'm sick and in need of a good game to pass the time!

Hey, i am sick and i am getting very board. does anyone have a good game to recoment, i don't really want an FPS, as i have played a lot of them, and maby somthing made in the last four years. min specs don't matter. if anyone has a few or any suggestions it would be appriciated! thnx.

 

Tropico? Sims? Rollercoaster Tycoon? Need for Speed series?

 

Solitaire?

 

mmos are good time wasters... and the new dawn of war game is pretty fun. i would also try fable or oblivion... scarface is pretty good aswell

 

Get any of the Total War series. If you really get into it, you'll play for days.

 

Company of Heroes, KOTOR and something like WoW are great time wasters. Heck, if you've already got WoW (or Guild Wars if you mind the monthly fee), then just keep playing that! If you haven't tried it before, get Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1 or 2), it's great fun.

EDIT: or you could get medieval 2: total war if you're into giant cataclysmic battles, great game.

 

Oblivion is the most addictive game I have ever played (offline, that is). It is also the most demanding game hardware-wise, due to beautiful scenery... and poor coding. But your Quadro 2500 would have no problem with it.

finish all Ghost Reacon series... or start doing the oblivion

 

Oblivion for something to get really invested in.

Gunbound Revolution for something thats little, fun, and highly addictive

 

I'm Watching the 10 best and worst games on MTV.

Halo & metal gear solid and resident evil 4 made 8, 9, 10 of the countdown for best so far.

7 is San Andreas


YES!!!!! TECMO BOWL IS #5 BEST. lol I still play it!!!

Zelda, Ocrarina of Time is #1 <<< I agree



The worst games so far are funny.


SWAT 4 usaully takes up alot of my time.


Has anybody played Gears of War yet? I love that commercial.

 

+1 for the Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War series. I'd say this game has caused more cases of "lost time" than the Greys.

 

k thnx, you guys have given me alot to check out!

 

I say company of heroes, excellent game

 

Oblivion's my #1 game for accidently spending 5 hours playing instead of 1. You really do need obscene hardware for the best effect -- it has the potential to look gorgeous.

 

Very agreed!!

 

I throw Civilization 4 in the ring. For me, play that and a day is gone quickly, plus you can put it down when you're not sick any more and you won't lose any semblance of a social life or girlfriend, family, job, etc (as you would with most MMO's).

The sims 2!

 

LOL, this shoulda never been asked the way it was. Everyone has a different opinion about a good game, everyone would tell you a different game...

It would be better if we knew what types of games you liked... Then we could stop telling you any random and pick out from a certain group, IE rpgs, and such.

For all we know, you may like rts games and all of our answers... suck.

EDIT: Err, I just checked some of the answers. All of our answers except the mods . And a couple others.

But still, it would be best if we knew what type of game you like, so we can give you tips from there.

 

I'd vote for Civ4 as well. But my current addiction is FFXII on my PS2... and Kingdom Hearts II. Just "beat" it though (still a number of things I haven't completed in the game that I might want to eventually... wonder if you can back up PS2 memory cards...)

 

Agreed. If console games are OK to list, FFXII is a great way to pass the time. I think I've already put in 40 hours, though I'm a sucker for trying to get everything/level up/etc.....

The game, so far, does not disappoint.

 

Oblivion. A great game with good graphics. It will play great on your machine, you won't regret it.

You get the "Hunter's Monograph"? It's well worth it. I'm only 12 hours into it though, haven't been able to play as much as I want. I'll have some time to play later, though.

 

Yeah, I picked up Hunter's..... I've got 2 more monographs waiting for me at the Bazaar, just need to make some gil for that and a new arsenal of weapons. I should look up what Monograph helps for undead/skeleton types, those are good to chain in some places and having an extra bonus to drops would be even cooler.

If you haven't already, try to work your way to some Quickenings on the License board. Good to use on bosses, and you get a nice MP boost for having them....

 

I'm looking for a great downloadable game, I don't want to buy anymore CDs for a good month or so.

 

try OUTCAST. it is older but it still does beat commercial crap like oblivion. and you dont even need 3d card.

 

Gunbound.

Its a great little Scorched Earth or Worms styled tank game. Get it for free from http://gunbound.ijji.com.
