i'm looking for a good computer game

hey i'm looking for a new computer game to play, preferably not online. MMORPGs...i get too into it and can't stop playing, so single player games. i'm more into games like action adventure kind of 3rd person thing..i'm not really into dark games like F.E.A.R, not to mention i can't even play that game with my computer

i have a 2600+, 512 mb ram, 9550 radeon, and suggestions? good games guys?

Civilization IV is pretty freaking fun...

painkiller you can get for really cheap and thats a great single player game.

civilization? never heard, whats it like? wc3?

painkiller like hitman and that stuff?

Number Muchers, Oregon Trail....either of those'll do ya just fine.

Civilization is a classic game. Its a turn based strategy game. You basically try to build your own world. You start with a settler, build a city, build more settlers and an army and workers and try to colonize the world. Its really fun and addicting but not hard to learn or play, hard to master )

lmao at oregon trail. i used to play that in the third grade. i would kill too many animals and emily would get infected with syphilis. good times.

yeah trace...i used to do the same thing...that game was the bomb back in the day (probably cuz i played it during school in computer class).

scorched earth ... oh my ... 4th grade all over again.

Starcraft is old but i still play it online a bit

Yeah I've been playing CIV4 too, it's so goddamn addicting.

roller coaster tycoon

CivIV is VERY time consuming. You can save the game in progress, but don't expect to finish a game in one sitting unless you play online. My friend and I played against computers and it took us like 5 hours for a game (we are new at the game though). Fun, but time consuming.

how does that compare w/ AOEII? i have the gold edition w/ conquers expansion pack. i know they have AOEIII, but the second is cheaper lol It sounds similar in gameplay and concept, just wanted to know if either one had any advantages over the other....?

seriously though, I think you should grabe Quake 4, great game..... or big red one for PC, I'm sure your comp can handle it..

Its possibly one of the best games ive ever played (and you only need 32 mb of ram ))

we were cleaning out my garage just last weekend and found some of those floppies, my mom and I laughed

They were literally "Floppy"

[quote3981cf4e04="mnx12"]roller coaster tycoon[/quote3981cf4e04] damn that was a good game. I used to play it all the time. I think i had a park with over 2 million dollars. it was crazy.

I believe alpha centauri used the same engine, also a very good game. Although I kind of like the level of automation available in Civ IV.

Empire Earth II is a great one, much better than Age of Empires 3.

If you like fantasy type games try Heroes of Might and Magic IV... or if you can wait V should be out next month.

Or if you want something completely addictive and very low resources check out the Avernum games at www.spiderwebsoftware.com they have huge demos that let you see how they play... it's very old final fantasy but with a larger world.

BF 1942...ghost recon...AOEII...NFSUII

Just do a search for pc games on limewire and it comes up with tons of results. just download the files, unzip 'em, and bam! instand comp game. that's how i get most of mine....
