Video/Computer Games

BF3 being a less notable game. HA! .

Any one play the Total War series? I really hope BF3 will be like BF2 + better graphics and physics (more strategy involved), and less like MW2 or the Bad Company games.

I do. But its getting quite repetitive after a while.

Anyway, looking forward to Heroes 6. I'm more of an old school gamer.

Let's do a match up, console games vs PCs. I'm not familiar with consoles, so someone else fill that in.

Best PC games:

Planescape: Torment
Baldur's Gate 2
Counterstrike
The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion) *
Starcraft, Starcraft 2, Warcraft 3
Dragon Age *
Civilization Series
Heroes of Might and Magic Series
Diablo 2
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Neverwinter Nights
Fallout 1 and 2
Fallout 3 *
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 1 and 2
Mirror's Edge


* While these games also exist on the console, their biggest attraction is in the large base of user-created mods, which are only available to PC users.

Best Console games:

Soul Calibur 3
Dead or Alive Series
???

Elite, Nethack, Dwarf Fortress, MU*

Halo series, Sonic

Command & Conquer series for PC.

For consoles:
Final Fantasy series
Metal Gear Solid series
Front Mission series
Armored Core series
Gran Turismo series
Winning Eleven series
Mario Bros series
Super Robot War series
Monster Hunter seres

i played cs, diablo1,d2,sc1,bw,sc2, w3ft(dota), cod4,mw2, gt2, pe2（parasite eve 2), bf2...although i hv my rants towards mw2. cod4 was as authentic/realistic as it can get in the entire series with modern warfare, while mw2 is simply a joke. im not saying cod4 is the perfect milsim game, but only the most realistic in the cod product line. i also played rainbow 6 ravenshield and swat4. aside from the awkward AI, it's fun game. anything after athena sword is too arcade feel

I just bought and started playing Modern Warfare 2 for the PC... wow! Undercover as a bad guy mowing down people at an airport... Invasion USA... Fighting off Russians in a Burger King parking lot....

BTW, does anyone have an opinion on video versus computer games? Yeah I know video game consoles rule but I've seen the PS3 on a HDTV but for some reason I think the graphics look better on a good PC game machine. Yeah I know the PS3 and others probably runs smoother and it's cheaper than a PC system but to me it still looks more cartoonish with a game console.

I have a Dell XPS M1760 laptop that is pretty much maxed out for on the go with SLI GeForce NVidia graphics. At home I use a HP Pavillion Elite, quad core, 12 GB RAM, very good ATI Radeon board. Both are very hot machines and everything pretty much plays at its highest settings. I like:

SC2, Oblivion, BFME II, COD4, Sins of a Solar Empire, AOE III, still like Orion II, Harpoon III, etc.

I like every post that has something good to say about Starcraft 2
For people who play, what leagues are you in on battlenet (and race)?

And who's excited for Diablo 3? >
