Favorite PC Video Games

[magicyte]

My favorite PC Video Game is the role-playing game Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate Website (http://www.bioware.com/games/baldurs_gate/)

Baldur's Gate ABOUT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldur's_Gate_series)

I beat Baldur's Gate I when I was 8 and I started playing it at 6. REALLY HARD! (FOR A KID!!)

I beat Baldur's Gate II when I was 10 and I started playing it at 9. RELATIVELY OKAY.

Baldur's Gate III is REALLY hard.

Although I LOVE that game, another pure fantasy favorite of mine is Morrowind

How long would it take to create 3D video games like that?

what?!?!?! You're telling me you don't like Duke Nukem? How can you not like that game?

"It's time to kick @$$ and chew bubble gum... Wouldn't you know it, I'm all out of gum."

LOL

[magicyte]

Bubble gum has aspratame in it - it kills brain cells and is proven to give you alzheimers. Scarrrrrrrrry!!

[TheJoshMan]

man how times have changed

I think my *age* is showing... I remember when the only thing you worried about with bubble gum was whether or not it had come off the bottom of your shoe... or if you fell asleep with it in your mouth and woke up with it in your hair... or if you were trick or treating and it had a hole in it...

Hell, I didn't (still don't actually) know what aspartame was/is.

[magicyte]

Yeah. It can really get you at the age you appear to be... :p (given loosely (as always))

Wow. I always thought that some dumb prankster would give me bubble gum that was poisoned, or even had bugs in it...

Days haven't really changed since I was born ... let's just say that!!

Well, if it's any indication, a buddy of mine is working on finalizing and releasing his RPG built in Isometric view and boasts about 45 hours game play time to complete. It took him 7 Years.

As for Myself, my RPG is about 3% complete and I have been at it for about 2 years.

Morrowind took Bethesda teams over 375,000 man hours to get it to Beta stage. The art for final release took another 40,000 hours. Baldur's Gate II for GameCube took Black Isle Studios over 100,000 man hours. Considering there are only 8765+ hours in one year.. you can do the math ;)

Some of my personal favorites:

- Half Life 1 (especially playing online, I still do sometimes to this day)
- Far Cry (can't wait for Far Cry 2!)
- Command and Conquer (the original)
- Wolfenstein

Duke Nukem was fairly memorable as well. Speaking of which, check out some of the memorable DN quotes, it's too funny: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228246/quotes

the entire cnc series, thats about all i play these days
oh yea, im back...again

[peter_budo]

Ehm where to start Warcraft II over company network, Duke Nuken 3D another company network success, after that there titles such as Half-life 1 (whole set), shortly followed by clan gaming COD, COD-UO, COD2 ( i give up on this as no vehicles, small maps, too many bunnies), BF2 was wow with that great in fly control of jets and helicopters and I do my camping in Enemy Territory - Quake Wars, getting bored and waiting for something new. Maybe COD5 of BF3, else as mentioned before there is Far Cry 2

[techietim]

Team Fortress 2!

[magicyte]

I also like those old Super Nintendo Mario games and Donkey Kong. Thx to blizzard btw.

Are we talking games on the computer. (I despise the "PC" word. I have a PC, Personal Computer, but it is not Windows.)

Anyway.

Duke Nukem, Warcraft, No Body Lives forever. But I do not use my computer for games. Music recording, Video and Film Editing, Graphic work, and Web design.

Now I do have an SNES, NES, (2) N64's, Playstation 1, 2, and 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Game Cube, Gamebo, DS, and Advanced.

But not much time to play any of those. and at least 20 games for each system some, more.

NOt ENOUGH TIME IN the day or one's life to do what is needed and to do what we want.

I recently began playing Grid (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/racedriverone/index.html?tag=result;title;0) for the PC. I must say it's one of the best racing games I've played thus far, both in graphics and playability.

Never winter nights 2 was allot of fun...

Aye, friend!! Just like Baldur's Gate!! I love Bioware games! Too bad they 'broke up' as a company...

I think all of you should try the game Oblivion. Its the game after Morrowwind in the Elder Scrolls series. I think if your computer has a high RAM capacity then you can run this game beautifly:eek::p

[Twey]

I don't play games nowadays (I realised how much time they cost...), but in the past I've been addicted to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Enemy Territory, Team Fortress, and Tremulous.

[webmasterforumu]

I still play age of empires II :) It's abit old but still nice to me.

[Schmoopy]

Team Fortress 2 kicks ass, it's what I play now, but I used to play WoW, but jesus christ that game takes your life away...

Tip to younger people, do not play World of Warcraft, you will not do anything else, that game is the devil I tell ye!

[magicyte]

Yeah. I don't usually play too many video games now. You know, if I have time and nothing else better to do, I'll play it for enjoyment.

Talk about addiction! Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 are killers!
