Half-Life 2 (DVD ROM)Half-Life 2 (DVD ROM)
Buy used from: £6.00
Together with all HL2 series the best game ever. Very good graphics that run smooth on low spec computers, good plot and best gameplay EVER. Proves a SF backgound can do a great game, unlike Halo
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - Limited Edition (PC DVD)Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - Limited Edition (PC DVD)
Buy new: £10.46 / Used from: £8.88
Good game with huuuge maps, good story and many posibilities. Too bad it glorifies a hipp-hopp culture which most of us think is a lot of hot air. All games in GTA series are great, waiting for GTA4
Battlefield 2: The Complete Collection (PC DVD)Battlefield 2: The Complete Collection (PC DVD)
Buy new: £16.98

Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £1.48

Hitman: Blood Money (PC DVD)Hitman: Blood Money (PC DVD)
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £3.20
Another stealth-action game. Again, the whole series is great. A hitman that will either be a silent assasin or noisy bulle-spraying killer.
F.E.A.R. (PC CD)F.E.A.R. (PC CD)
Buy new: £4.00 / Used from: £2.00
A FPS with a great story and awesome graphics. It can be scary at times but it is not a horror game. Check its add-ons out.
FarCry - PC Gamer (PC DVD)FarCry - PC Gamer (PC DVD)

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (PC)The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (PC)
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £3.80
A very good action game with great graphics. The story continues the movie series. For some reson it hasnt been advertised and many people dont even know it exists.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC DVD)The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC DVD)
Buy new: £12.23 / Used from: £6.00
A very good RPG game, amazing graphics and huge map to explore. Hundreds of side quests to do and hundreds of items to earn. Prolonged playing makes it boring rather than addictive.
FlatOut 2 (PC)FlatOut 2 (PC)
Buy used from: £5.00
A non-conventional car racing game with good impact physics and totally destructible cars! It all looks like a scrapyard race!
Call of Juarez (PC DVD)Call of Juarez (PC DVD)
Buy used from: £3.84
A western action game with a story worth of a novel. Very good graphics, convincing characters, great plot, great ending. Felt more like a movie to me. Kind of short though.
Doom 3 (PC)Doom 3 (PC)
Buy used from: £8.89
A quite repetitive horror shooter with good graphics. It has earned its place on this list by making me once scream loud at 1 o'clock in the moring
Colin McRae: DiRT (PC DVD)Colin McRae: DiRT (PC DVD)
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £6.00
Just like all the series, a very good simulation game. And like all simulation games it can get awkward to the end.
Company of Heroes: Gold Edition (PC DVD)Company of Heroes: Gold Edition (PC DVD)
Buy used from: £28.00
Something in between Real Time Strategy and Role Playing Game with a pinch of Commandos. The result is very very impressive,
Silent Hunter III (PC DVD)Silent Hunter III (PC DVD)
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £1.33
WHAT A GAME!!! It is so realistic you feel like in the WW2 again (even if youre 18). The tension it builds up is incredible! It would have been higher up on the ladder if it wasnt for its graphics...
Starcraft BattlechestStarcraft Battlechest
Buy new: £23.32 / Used from: £19.99
The father/mother of all strategy games. For nostalgics
Diablo II: BattlechestDiablo II: Battlechest
Buy new: £34.99
I dont know what is with this game that makes is so addictive, Quite old, it beats most RPGs these days and it has good replay value. Stay away from online battles.
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and Beyond The Call of Duty - Double Pack (PC)Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and Beyond The Call of Duty - Double Pack (PC)
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00
Great little old games, together with Commandos2 Men of Courage, The next ones look more like budget games to me.
Worms World Party (PC)Worms World Party (PC)
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.50
A game to play with your friends. Worms battling with everything from baseball bats to atomic bombs while being on birthday cakes or rubbish bins. Things can get awfully fun!
Need for Speed: ProStreet (PC DVD)Need for Speed: ProStreet (PC DVD)
Buy new: £15.81 / Used from: £7.47
Next 5 places are reserved for games i hate and i think you should stay away from. No NFS game from Porsche to date has impressed any serious gamer. All looks like budget stuff ment for 12 year olds
Need For Speed Underground 2 (PC CD)Need For Speed Underground 2 (PC CD)
Buy used from: £6.79
If you like earning silly respect points by impressing chavs in the street with your flashy car decalls while listening to cheesy hipp-hopp this game is for you. Bad drive feeling, worst impacts
Halo: Combat Evolved (PC CD)Halo: Combat Evolved (PC CD)
Buy new: £6.14 / Used from: £4.60
Whats so wrong with this series and why so many console players like it? Glowing armours and green blood? You can get better fiction games from NES.
Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition (PC)Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition (PC)
Buy new: £15.48 / Used from: £14.49
Why i hate it? For the false expectations it gave. This game could have been so much better if they invested in some side quests, some non-ridiculous story or even in character's inverntory section.
Unreal Tournament III (PC DVD)Unreal Tournament III (PC DVD)
Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £8.08
Good graphics trown to the dogs, just like Assasin's Creed. This is the list i hope you will agree with. Pease dont start playing the bottom ones first.
