Must have games for a new laptop.

Hey guys. So I'm ordering my Sager NP 8662 (in sig) in a week or two, and wondering if there are any games I must have/play?(-any-..ok all but RTS..never liked them..or I just suck. One of them)

I own:
Crysis
Oblivion
Race Driver: GRiD
Unreal Tournament 3
Assassin's Creed
The Witcher (the orignal non-enhanced version.)
Call of Duty 4
BioShock (Love it. Any games like it?)

 

What kinds of games do you like?

 

FEAR
FEAR 2
Mass Effect

L4D
RE 5
BIOshock 2

Orange BOX!!!!!

 

Check out mass effect, fallout3 (there is to be a goty edition soon with expansions), gears of war, download the enhanced edition of the witcher for free, it makes a huge difference to the gameplay....really tidies up the experience.....

 

if you like open environment, give stalker clear sky a try and stalker shadow of chernobyl. start with shadow.

some old games

doom 3 and its expansion is a good starter upper

 

mass effect is my biggest suggestion. my alltime favorite game i think.
counter strike source
orange box

these are the best i have played.

 

PROTOTYPE! ..

one of the funnest games ive played in a while.
and original..

its like GTA + Prince of Persia + Kirby all wraped up in a super cool snowglobe with flakes that never fall!!..

check it out for sure...

other than that..
there are a few more out there.. jus cant think right now

 

Left4Dead
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Fallout 3

 

System shock 2. people say it is wayyy better than bioshock.
And the other games people jusdt said.

 

Just so you know. The Witcher developers are so fantastic that you dont need to buy a new version of it for the Enhanced Edition. They released the patches to upgrade it to the enhanced version for free!
Im just trying to save you some cash

 

Prototype and Ghostbusters both look good and are fun to play for recent releases.

 

Dead Space
FEAR
FEAR 2
Orange Box
Crysis Warhead
Mass Effect
Cryostasis (?)
L4D
COD 5
Doom 3
Quake 4
Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Legend, Underworld
Fallout 3

 

May I recommend Guild Wars Trilogy. all three games out now on steam! Very affordable

Guild Wars is an online action Strategy RPG with a persistent towns and outposts, as well as hardcore balanced pvp, and instanced missions. It touches lightly on some MMO elements but looses many of the boring conventions like grinding, slow lvl pace, long travel times, time sinks(just takes hours to get anything done) and so on.
It also has no monthly fee despite getting regular updates from the developerment team.

It's a fantastic game and I cant recommend it enough. The single-player can either be played alone with NPC companions or with friends should you choose.
Its 4 years old but there are still many players in the game(they just got past 6 million sold).



As for free games that are worth trying: (search google for download links but fileplanet.com , filefront.com and hellsgamer.com has quite a few)

-Americas Army 3 < military made realistic shooter. fun.

- Dragonica < uber cute 2D side scrolling MMO. This one is polished and very high quality. it feels like a super mario MMO.

- S4 League < korean funny manga shooter. you play in arenas with others. you make a character and fight like a regular shooter but you can run on walls and all kinds of crazy acrobatics.




If you are looking for a World of Warcraft without subscription there are some games but off somewhat lower quality(being free has it's price) : neosteam and runes of magic and 4 story.

 

you can upgrade to the enhanced version for free. Go to the witcher site and download the update. the new character voices, updates, lower loading times and much more is really worth it. its a much better game after this patch.

you have to register the game which takes a little bit of time but its well worth it.(registering it means you confirm you have an original bought game and not pirated).

 

Prototype is a must have!

 

Ugh! Wish I would have known that before I dropped the extra $20...but I guess since I don't have a stable internet connection it might have been for the better.

 

I would also love to throw Sins of a Solar Empire into the mix.
There is absolutely 0 DRM, so support them ;P
It is really a great game, an rts which you can consume many hours of your time!!

 

I would suggest downloading the Enhanced Edition patch and playing through the witcher again. You also might like one of these games, I quite enjoyed them.

Crysis Warhead
Call of Duty World at War
Mass Effect
Fallout 3

 

Yeah, it's a HUGE patch, best to go with the full retail version. I bought the updated one myself.

 

Prototype.

I started off trying to be all proper, civilized, strategic, and avoid undue attention. That lasted a whole 5 minutes. kickage is the only way to go.

 

That was my goal in Fallout 3...and then I nuked a town.

 

plants vs. zombies

funny game

 

Mass Effect

Dead Space

Dawn Of War II (it's a different type of RTS)

Defense Grid

 

Quake Live! And it's FREE.

 

Team Fortress 2, Crysis , Warhead.

 

COUNTER STRIKE!! If you can't get Counter Strike 1.6, which costs like $10, get Counter Strike Source.
