My Christmas list.

[Ulyaoth]

Games I'm asking for for Christmas, any more suggestions? Looking for Xbox, PS2, GCN games I may have missed, older PC games, etc.


Mario Galaxies
Super Paper Mario
Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath
Civilization 4 Beyond the Sword expansion
Black and White 2
Orange Box
Psychonauts
Fable Lost Chronicles
Sid Meier’s Pirates

For the last three, I'm not sure if they're better on Xbox or PC, any differences really? Any mods for these games?
What about the other Oddworld game on Xbox, any good?

And any good RPGs, FPSs, or strategy games for PC I could run(athlon 2400, 768mb RAM, Radeon X850pro) I've got Oblivion, wasn't too impressed.

 

[Ulyaoth]

any suggestions? anybody?

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

What do you have already?

Let's see, FPS, strategy, RPG... I'll name some console ones to even though you asked PC.

I'll throw out Metroid Prime, Final Fantasy, Call of Duty, Galactic Civilizations 2. If you want zany humor you have to play Psychonauts. There's a lot more out there though, it's such a broad topic.

 

[Ulyaoth]

I've got the first 2 metroid Primes, Call of Duty 2 for PS2 and 3 for Wii, GalCiv2 and the expansion. Xbox, all I've got is KotOR and Prince of Persia WW which I didn't like much after having loved Sands of Time. PS2 I've got both MGSs, all 3 Jak games, GTAs, Ace Combat 4, Onimusha, a few other random things. GCN I've got a bunch of Nintendo's games but I'm sure I missed a few, how's Killer7?

 

[Maniacal]

Get orange Box for sure.

The first Call of Duty can be picked up with the expansion fairly cheaply (maybe than $25 Canadian, not sure sicne I havn't checked), get them for the PC as they don't need a high end computer to run. I'd advise getting Orange Box for PC if your comptuer can run them, as there are a LOT of great Half-Life 2 single player and multiplayer mods.

And there will probably be mods for Portal too or at least more maps.

 

[Ulyaoth]

I've had HL2 since it was released, just getting Orange box so I can get the new episodes and TF2, Portal sounds cool too.

What about finally getting EU3, I remember being really excited for it then when I tried the demo it seemed a no where near as deep as I'd heard, it just seemed like nothing more than conquering everybody like any other strategy game, are there more options in the full game?

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

I'm not old enough to get The Orange Box or Company of Heroes. Right now I think it's down to World of Warcraft and World in Conflict.

 

[Maniacal]

Ya know, those ratings are really more guidlines that what should be actual rules. (generaly speaking, I mean, Age of Empires II was rated TEEN and I played it a lot as a pre-teen, without really seeing anything I hadn't seen on TV/movies.

 

[Captain2]

Nah Prince, since we became old enough to play most of the games they've changed the rules

if he were to buy company of Heros and a policeman saw him they're allowed to shoot at him

 

[warpstorm]

Would buying the Orange Box for my teenage kids would be a crime then?

 

[Captain2]

well it ranges from teen to mature so I'd stick my thumb over the M and you'll be fine

 

[Maniacal]

Mature says RECOMMENDED for 17 or older, not ONLY for.

Anyone 13 or older should be able to play Orange Box and not wet their pants or go on a homocidal rampage.

 

[Captain2]

nah I'm sure in the police training manual (updated version) that if someone has a game with the M label and they're under 18 you may shoot on sight

either that or taze them

 

[Maniacal]

M label is 17 mot 18.

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

Mature says RECOMMENDED for 17 or older, not ONLY for.

Anyone 13 or older should be able to play Orange Box and not wet their pants or go on a homocidal rampage.

But my parents don't allow me to even watch people playing rated M games!

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

My parents didn't let me play T games until I was 18. They never let M games under their roof.

 

[Leonel]

I want an XBox 360 and Mass Effect for the 360 and I want Unreal Tournament 3 and a FIRETRUCK!

 

[ArneHD]

A better computer.

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

I want something besides my Intel Integrated 910 chipset graphic card . .. .. .. ..

I got an old NVidia 6600 GT lying around if you want. Not as fast as a 8800 GTX but still pretty decent.
