Best PC games in the last 2-3 yrs. I need some.

[Blackjack]

I've been out of PC gaming for the last couple years and I was wanting some recommendations so I can get a few new ones.

Genre doesn't really matter that much, I like really good games of almost any style...... except....

 

I will not play anything that requires being online, like multiplayer only, mmorpg, or anything that requires a connection like the steam engine did for half life 2. I hated that!

Crysis

Crysis Warhead

Ballance (it's from the new Atari)

Call of Duty 4

[Blackjack]

Oh, and if there are any decent zombie games, let me know

 

Checking out your suggestions now, Rybags. Thanks.

Left 4 Dead is a crazy awesome zombie shooter... its steam powered if u want to play online but its possible to play offline (just no lan or multiplayer)

Also, BioShock is another great shooter..

 

I been thinking of any non-shooter games for the pc.. but just cant come up with any

These games I'm listing are a little older than 1-2 years, but are quite enjoyable:

 

Sid Meier's Pirates! Live the Life

Titan Quest and expansion: Immortal Throne

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Dungeon Seige II and expansion: Broken World

 

and older yet:

 

Freelancer-by Microsoft

The Sims original version/double pack/expansions

 

Just a few games I play a lot of on my older PC.

I can specifically recommend these games.

 

1) The entire Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War series (don't get DOW2 because it needs Steam).

2) Company Of Heroes series (made by Relic who makes the Dawn of War series)

3) The Witcher EE

4) Call Of Duty: World At War (has a Zombie Mode)

5) Sacred 2

6) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series

7) Plants VS Zombies (play it!)

 

And any of the Telltales Games adventures (I recommend either Sam & Max series).

 

Hope this helps!

Doom 3 and quake 4

I personally like the non commercial games the ones that are free to download.

 

Super Tux

Tux Kart

Mario Forever

Most of the games I listed are around $20.00 now, so it's not too expensive to purchase. I forgot to put a plug in for Doom 3..great game, and scary in certain spots (if you like shooters). Diablo II and it's expansion are still widely played from what I've heard, and I personally enjoy the more gothic theme versus the Greek theme of Titan Quest (but Titan Quest is still my personal favorite and gets played more than my other PC games).

 

Don't forget the compilations, such as:

 

Atari Anniversary I and II

Taito Legends

 

Great games, and near-perfect arcade replicas. Er, sorry to ramble..
