I was just was wandering if any one plays comptuer games on there PC and what games do you play?

I am a real fan of all the tycoon games I have several, here's my list of tycoon games which I play on my PC.

Hostpial Tycoon
Rollercoaster Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon
Casino Tycoon + loads more.

I played all the roller coaster tycoon games. The 3D RCT 3 required alot of hardware but runs fine. Counter Strike Source is my fav for fun and action and X3 for action and stratagy. Silent Hunter 3 is what I was living on a great submarine simulator.

I have heard alot of people talk about Counter Strike but I have never played or even seen a advert for it.

What sort of game is it exactly? I have always imagined it as being a shooting game.

Yeah I agree also with what you say about RC3.

Counter Strike Source is a first person shooter set in the modern anti terrorist enviroment.
It's online 32 human players 16 terrorists vrs 16 western Anti terrorists.
You need a modern gaming computer so an Nvidia geforce 6800 128Mb or something like you might get away with a Geforce 5900 64mb at low res.



It's great fun some maps one side has to plant a bomb to win or wipe out the other side. Or its a map with a hostage recue. For kills and your team winning you win money which you can spend on body armour and loads of assault riffles, pistols and so to chose from. The weapons behave realisticly although their damage has been modified to improve gameplay.

The game comes free with Halflife 2 and it's graphics and gameplay are updated free now and again with auto updates. It's so well done and with their being human players involved it's like your really their running around compunds and towns. my fav is the SAS style assault on a office building everything in their is destructable.


Not sure if its now available on its own going off this link it sounds like it is but check. Have a gander at the screenshots on this link.

So do you play it live with other people on the net? As I have heard people talking about do you want to pkay CS?

I dont think I could play it at the moment as I am using a very old computer due to mine being broke.

CS is Counter Strike Source its online only. If their not on World Of Warcraft or working their on CS. It's a good example of next gen gaming with playstation 3 quality graphics, HDR colour graphics ,phyisics simulation and no computer AI involved. Some players create their own maps to add to the maps that the maker brings every 6 months.

I agree. CSS is a grat game to play and can get very competitive sometimes.

People do play with bots from time to time though, but those are mostly serious gamers who want to "train" their skills or just people who don't want to go through all the trouble of finding a server and having to deal with lag.

I love Rollercoaster Tycoon. I find really any game that you can build stuff in fun. Right now I am currently playing Oblivion and World of Warcraft. But I am open to any suggestions for new games to play. So if you know of any fantasy or building type games, please post them.

X3 Reunion
Is a good game for people wanting a really deep game that makes you feel like your there. It's a space trade and combat simulator played from the cockpit view. Anything you see flying around or any factory can be baught. Upgrades and weapons are built and sold in space factories every factory requires resorces from others. It's one of those sims that grows the more your on it theirs no end.

You start with a tiny fighter and a few quid and buy and sell goods to earn enough to buy a bigger cargo ship and one day your own employed pilots, cargo ships and factories. Theirs a huge area of space split into around 120 sectors to explore with a dynamic economy.

Why and how you play it is upto you I run it as a business so I can buy a huge fleet of fighters, carriers and battleships to hunt down the pirates. You could play it as a pirate hijacking other pilots ships and building drug factories and brothels.

It's got a way more learning curve than mine sweeper and requires all your time to get anywhere, a game for the unemployed some call it. One year on I'm just as interested as the first week. Don't bother playing it without the patch unless you have a 10Ghz processor and a graphics card from the future. A Geforce 6800 GT and 2 GB of ram will get you ok FPS at 1600 X 1200 Res.

One game I love and some might say it is sad, but I love the Sims! I love being my own little computer person and making him/her do stuff, I had a baby the other day. :P (Not real of course lol).

[CG Man]

OMG not Sims. I go on Sims 2 now and again to have a go at house designing and see how they live in it.

[Dave Hybrid]

After trying out x3 I decided it was a very steep learning curve.

Then saw an advert for 'EVE online' last week, it seems to have taken over my life. :oops:

For the first time in years I'm considering upgrading my PC.
