Decent PC game recommendation required...

Fallout 3 is pretty good, visuals are getting old, but you can often mod it simply. Similar with Skyrim, visuals are better, but you do need to swallow the pill of wizards and dragons etc.

Something else to get is Portal 2, I guess you've probably seen the first one if you got the Orange box, but a double pack of 1 and 2 turns up on steam every now and again cheaply, 1 is pretty short, but 2 is a full game with some nice humour and puzzles.

Crysis series and FEAR series both well worth a play.

Metro 2033 and Last Light. Marmite games it seems, I love em though.

edit: ok you have LL. Dead Space, Max Payne, Res Evil, FEAR,

BioShock Infinite. Fantastic shooter with a great story.

I haven't played many triple a's recently, so not sure what's good there, but if you want engrossing and a good plot, Divinity: Original Sin

It's a lot like the classic crpgs, although it's turn based. There is some voice-acting which is good, but a LOT to read

I've just finished The Darkness II. It's good but a bit short.

Amnesia : A Machine For Pigs & Amnesia : The Dark Descent are very good.

The Ball - excellent fun.

Dear Esther - weird and short, but okay.

Xotic - I've played this game more than any game I own. There's a demo of it on Steam.

Two things to bear in mind when using Steam is that loads of games are not actually finished being written yet and the majority of what's left is utter ste. It's a bit like the raise of Satellite TV - hundreds of channels and fk all worth watching.

Have you tried Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Directors Cut) at all?

I'm currently downloading that to have a play on the updated version as its been a while. The Directors Cut version addresses some of the issues that the original had (mandatory boss battles and iffy ending) and has updated graphics. It also has the DLC mission weaved into the game in the correct place instead of it being a standalone affair.

What sort of style games do you like? Just FPS's or do you like simulators and RTS?

[r1ch]

Its worth persevering with skyrim and fallout. I disliked both initially, but after getting into them they were great fun. Fallout is probably my favourite game.

[Crush]

The Gears of War series is pretty good, Space Marine is a similar style of gameplay too (warhammer 40k universe)

[Mannginger]

What about The Walking Dead? More an adventure game than anything else but very good story / tough choices required.

I never got into Metro earlier but I'm enjoying the XB1 re-make, pretty decent story to drive the action along as well so far.

I know you prefer Sci-Fi but I loved the Dragon-Age series and can't wait for the new one to come out in November. Origins is far stonger than the second one and a great story / series of stories, the expansions are good value add-ons as well int he main.

Dishonoured's pretty good as well with some interesting approaches, could be worth a shot?

Star Wars:The Old Republic MMO is driven by it's story more than most but as an MMO it is an acquired taste...

[RJames]

Borderlands 2.

A friend gifted it to me randomly so ended up starting it. Really enjoying it, I guess you could call it a mashup between Half Life 2, Final Fantasy. Huge levels, great visuals in a unique way. Massive array of things to do and the story so far seems good fun.

Same here but I loved Infinite. Looking at my games library for games you haven't got, I liked: Dragon Age Origins / 2 (Origins Ultimate Edition is the one to get as it's a much bigger and better game than 2, but they did improve a number of things in 2, mainly the combat). Fallout: New Vegas (not as good as 3, but this is probably my favourite series of games ever). LIMBO (brilliant indie platformer). Saints Row 3/4 (mad GTA clone, 3 is better than 4 IMO). South Park: The Stick of Truth (very funny if you like the cartoon, if you don't then this isn't for you). Super Hexagon (incredibly addictive and difficult "twitch" game). I didn't complete either Walking Dead or Witcher 2 but I think they are both decent (need to go back and play them both again at some point).
