Hey! One game I've been enjoying to play for awhile is The Lord of the Rings: Online. I believe there is a christian kinship on it, but I haven't joined it yet since I'm not in the same "world" as them. Anyways, I would recommend it as it has a little bit of everything in it.

Civilization IV. Nuff said.

is this kinda like age of empires?

[MajinFro]

Not quite. more of a cross between sim city and age of empires if you were to try to pigeon hole the type of game it is. but that doesn't do the civ games adaquete justice. If you wanted to totally rock a series though what i would do is pick up the Command and Conquer 10 year anniversary edition and then get C&C 3. that is startegy game goodness very similar to age of empires. another good game set to get is Starcraft and Starcraft Broodwars. especially with Starcraft 2 coming out in a year or two. now the only game out of that that will give your new system a good run is C&C3.

Age of Empires III -I think- Is an awesome Game, I still enjoy this day building my little samurai army and charging the enemy castle with it.

Starcraft is pretty cool, I'm looking forward to the second one coming out, hoping it's as good as the first and expansion.

Ceasar III is pretty fun, all be it it's designed on what Rome/greeks where (you have to build temples to gods and such, so I don't know if that's entirely appropriate or not...) You can build a city in it, you have to keep the people happy by providing entertainment, food, protection, and health, you can follow a sorta story line in it which helps you get a handle on the game, or you can play pre-created maps, each with their own difficulty and size. (some contain times when your city is under siege while other maps are just simple build and expand) Warning this game is most time consuming, so be prepared to have a time limit and an alarm go off, cause it's most easy to spend 5 hours on one map and not even notice it.

As for games that challenge a PC power...um I really couldn't tell you, I've been out of the gaming loop to long. I'd suggest WOW or LOTR's, how ever WoW is a so-so one, it would test your computer, but I'm not sure of it's content, same goes for LOTR'S -I've played WoW, but not LOTR's- :idunno

Hope that helped

:wave

Any minature gamers out there?

HMGS East - Historicon is coming up July 26-29.

My computer just can't play most modern games, so I mostly play on my Nintendo DS. Especially since it has so many online games now. There are lots of strategy games out & coming soon, so I still get a lot of similar games.

I'm going to get Age of Empires now that it's only $15. Anno looks good too, but it's a Europe-exclusive, but I'm going to track it down. I'm really happy that we're getting Front Mission 1st in the USA as well.

Brothers in Arms worked really well on the DS, so I'll grab Call of Duty when it ships too.

Im probably a little behind...still pay Delta Force 2 occasionally.:)

Well for me... HalfLife is the very best single player game out there. I think LoTr by Turbine is probably the very best online social game. SecondLife is kinda cool if you like making things and chatting. SecondLife also has very cool real-life concerts scheduled every night. :)
