    well today i joined the PC gaming community :D
    i just brought Oblivion: GOTYE, S.T.A.K.L.E.R and Supreme Commander all three for £30 what a bargin :D it took me all day to find Oblivion, i wasnt going to go home without that game :D

    i did want to buy the FEAR three game pack, but even though im 21 they wouldnt serve me :mad:

    i had a play on COD 4 last night for a couple of hours and loved it, though i think the MP mode will be better

    Welcome!

    While console gaming can be fun, I find nothing beats keyboard/mouse gameplay, plus all the great RPG, RTS, and niche games like space and combat flight simulation that you can do on a PC that you can't on a console.

    I was more thinking of the countless 20-somethings wasting their college tuitions simply locking themselves inside their dorm rooms running instances and grinding.

    Yay, another one! Welcome, and enjoy. Now you'll finally be able to play strategy games. And FPS games in the way they are supposed to be played.

    Welcome to the community.

    If I may, I highly recommend you play some of the following PC gaming series:

    -- Fallout and Fallout 2 (which should handsomely prepare you for the soon-to-be released Fallout 3)
    -- Deus Ex
    -- Star Wars: Jedi Knight Outcast
    -- Return to Castle Wolfenstein
    -- Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Forces, HL 2 and both episodes
    -- Max Payne and Max Payne 2 (If you haven't played 'em on a consoles)
