There's more but those'll get you started.

Ghost recon isn't to bad, I prefer BF2 though.

One of my cousin's has Ghost Recon on PS2 I think. I watched him play one night but it's better on PC. Well, I guess I've "matured" far enough to have given up console playing.

Knowing you, I think you'll like UT04. (Not saying you're one-a those hate-filled, Godless Commie Reptilian shape-shifter dupe, militant lefty overthrower's or nothin). lol Online play is a splatterin' good time too, tho' not what it used to be in its heyday.

You should be able to snag a copy for $10.-$20. now (don't know how many stone or quid that is )

i used to be an avid console player...i like games such as Gran Turismo 4, World Rally Championship etc. because these are exclusive to PS2.

Havent played games on the console for over a year now...bored with it, the graphics and game-play on a decent PC beats anything out there inculding the XBOX 360.

I will buy a PS3 when it comes out in March 07.....maybe. Purely for the exclusive games that arent available on the PC. There is no point in buying an XBOX 360 for me as most of thier 'exclusives' eventually make it on to PC in a few months anyway.

So wurm, you wont be getting any more consoles then?

Nah, most everything I want is or will be on PC and I like KB & mouse much better than console paddles. (If you tried to play UT on console after playing on PC you'd see what I mean...it blows!)

I haven't owned a console since N64. Now there was a controller I actually liked a lot. We used to get into near-brawls over Wave Race and Golden Eye.

'sides, I'm too invested in my Winboxen now to plunk for a console. An Opteron/dual GPU is my main rig now, an XP is a F@H/SETI slave, both w. big PSU's and whack RAM, uber-cooling, etc. I'm also waiting for AMD's Quad core debut then I'll build another.

As you said, graphics and play are muey bueno on PC if you have fast parts.

Unreal Tourny is a fun play. F.E.A.R. is really intensive system wise, so you NEED top end stuff to run it with all the eyecandy. Id say medium settings for what youve got MP, and youll be satisfied. I cant believe no one has mentioned Half Life 2 & Episode One. Easily two of the most addicting games Ive played.

Also, you could look at Brothers in Arms, or Call of Duty 2 if WWII style games are youre bag...

That's what I hate about some of these games, they make 'em too damned hard to beat in a couple places. It becomes just a frustration and not fun.
