Just built a new computer as my old one was 9 years old! The new one is a dual processor running at 3ghz, with 4gb of ram and a Sapphire 4800 graphics card so hopefully it can handle most games.

I think I would like a strategy came. I quite like command and conquer, or sim city (not The Sims though). I saw that World of Warcraft is popular - is it any good, if so which version is best?

Any other recommendations?

I've looked but I'm not sure what to pick.

Personally, I like First Person Shooters and would recommend COD WAW. The last strategy game i played was World in Conflict, and i found it pretty weak. You mentioned the C&C games, have you played Red Alert3? The last one I played was Tiberium Wars3, and I didn't even know about RA3. Tiberium Wars 3 was as good as the others. I may have to get RA3. It also looks like a new one, Tiberium Dawn, is coming out, but they don't even have a release date for that one.

I avoid games like WOW because it is entirely internet based and i think you have to pay every month to play. I like to buy a game and it's MINE. That's also why i will not buy any game that demands you load that virus STEAM on your computer.

stragedy? age of empires 3 + its expansions is good. for FPS, i like crysis, providing you have a decent system, which do you!

Team Fortress 2 is the best multiplayer game released in a very, very long time. I would pick up the Orange Box for $30 or just grab it for $20.

Don't get WoW, you could play it on a computer from 2001 and it's just the same endless grinding as most MMOs.

If you want an RTS type of game you cant go wrong with Company of Heroes

Shame you missed this really
