Any suggestions? My PC is ready I already have Skyrim, which is unbelievable with all the mods. Much better than the PS3 version. Thanks in advance.

Crysis (all 3)

I take it you like RPGs considering you have Skyrim....

Well get Witcher 2.

Civ 5, Football Manager and Portal 2 off the top of my head

Far Cry 3.

Though having only Skyrim is more than enough. Can keep you busy for 300 hours.

if you are into multiplayer games, league of legends is great. mass effect trilogy are masterpieces and must be played

Amnesia
Planetside 2
Half-Life series (Black Mesa is a hi-fi remake of HF1)
FTL
Bastion
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Minecraft
Witcher 1&2
The Void
Company of Heroes
Diablo II & III
Magicka
Torchlight
Medieval 2: Total War (By far the best mods of the Total War series)
Civilization IV & V (4 for mods like Fall From Heaven II)
Supreme Commander 2
Starcraft II
Crysis & Crysis Warhead, 2&3 are nothing special.
Sins of a Solar Empire
Company of Heroes 1&2
Neverwinter Nights 2
Hotline Miami
League of Legends
DOTA 2
World of Tanks
World of Warcraft
Portal 1&2
Fallout 3
Guild Wars 2
Battlefield 3
Tribes: Ascend
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2
Tropico
Modded GTA's
Just Cause 2
Bioshock series
Metro series
Mirror's Edge

I'm gonna stop listing now, there's more games worth looking in to but that list should cover it.

As for SimCity 5 don't spend one cent on it, it's not just the DRM that caused drama but 6 updates further the game is still borderline broken. Modded SimCity 4 is a far better way to go.

Thanks guys... this should keep me busy

The lists posted above sum up pretty well the must have games and I agree with their content.

I still want to tell you that Diablo III is amazing. Blizzard did a great job when they created the game. This is a must-buy.

Dark Souls

Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 are both amazing. Absolutely insane gameplay, graphics and sound. I played them with Ultra HIGH settings on a FULL HD TV monitor and a 5.1 surround system and the experience was unique. In my opinion, to truly experience a game you must have high-end tech in your house .

By the way, sportsczy, sometimes you have to filter those 'must have games'. They are not a 'must have' for every person, so...you should read and watch some reviews and after that you'll know what genre you like more and you'll be able to realise which of the games listed above you really like.

Sites like IGN and Gamespot will always help.

Why are people here so quick to deride goal.com but praise the videogaming equivalents? (IGN & Gamespot )

The Crysis series got ruined by EA but 2 & 3 should have been named Call of Duty: Future Warfare 1&2 because gameplay-wise that's what they are. 3 improves slightly but the suits between 1&Warhead and and 2&3 have little in common as the CE3 games have nerfed weaksauce suits. The aliens are generic and didn't have the same impact as the CE2 games and they pretty much ignored the story from the CE2 games.

I'm not saying Crysis 2&3 are terrible, just nothing special because they're consolized futuristic military shooters of which there are plenty of and not exactly what I'd recommend spending money on given there's the Metro series, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, the original Crysis games, Bioshock series, Far Cry series, Borderlands series and Half-Life series as well as Deux Ex:HR, Mass Effect 2&3, CoD: 4, Portal 1&2 and Red Orchestra 2 in just the modern FPS genre alone to try which offer a more unique experience than Crysis 2&3 which are like hollywood remakes of the original concept.

FM 13 FTW!!!!

this
remmber me
being the the latest example

Get Rome 2, or Europa Universalis 4 if you are into strategy/historical games

Finally someone else on the forums who has a taste for strategy games

I completely agree. Total War without its battles is a pointless buy. EU4 and all Paradox games have 10 times the depth and historistocity that Total War has.
