Return of the PC Geek

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Today I finally got my computer back and set up after three months of gathering dust at my exes flat. In gaming terms, that's a pretty long time! I've missed out on a lot of stuff and gaming experiences.

So, while spring cleaning all my old programmes and files I'm looking forward to purchasing new PC games. Anything new that I should be looking for. Just recommend anything you've enjoyed playing, don't worry about genres or specs, just want to hear some friendly gamer advice.

It's good to be back!

Drool... Oblivion...

I was thinking about Oblivion, I have a friend who keeps drooling over it.

I'll shamelessly subscribe to this thread, as i am out of the loop myself. (And i don't even have an excuse!)
The most recent game i played and could recommend is The Bard's Tale.
It's a (in parts) hillarious satire on the whole "high adventure" RPG genre. Unfortunatly, the gameplay is a bit tendious sometimes.
Well worth renting from the video store, but maybe not good enough to buy.

Oblivion is fancy looking, but the dialouges are TES standart (read: boring). The quests are a mixed bag as well an the combat system doesn't convince me, either. I don't regret getting the game, but i had hoped for more.

I bought Star Wars: Empire at War. I've heard mixed reviews, but I really wanted a Star Wars game.

Sadly I haven't had much of a chance to play it as I've rediscovered my old love - Battlefield 2
