I need a good game that I can play casually (1-2 hours a day).

I'm a big fan of RTS, strategy, action, and simulation games. I like wartime FPS's. Any good games out there for me?

Medal of Honor: Airborne, is a a good WWII shooter.

If you're PC is up to it, then Crysis and Crysis: Warhead, are both great games.

Frontlines: Fuel or War, was a surprisingly good shooter. Well worth a download.

Battlefield 2142 is a multi-player FPS. There's a couple good servers here in Korea that I play on. It's a pretty cheap game now ($30). It's an FPS with good tactical elements. YOu can even play as the commander if you want and send orders and supplies to the other players on the map.

haven't played it myself yet, but some pretty mixed reviews from members of another forum I frequent.

Spore was great until I got to the part to design my buildings. I really didn't want to take the time to put together my city hall. There wasn't even a button to randomly generate premade buildings.

I totally agree about spore, it first 3 stages are sweet, stage 2 is still the best for me. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of Warhammer online? I know play asia has it but they are sold out atm.


As far as a good game, I like Team Fortress 2 on steam.

If you are a fan of the beautiful game, Pro Evolution Soccer is a fantastic game. You also have the option to play online against other people - although for me this normally means getting beaten by at least 6 goals. Altetnatively, if you can read Korean and have a valid ID, I believe FIFA Online is free.

Hey, what's your name on 2142?

I play regularly as -CDN- Incognito84 on the Korean servers. Great game. Very steep learning curve, but ultimately very satisfying. Nothing like being able to rig a jeep with explosives and use it to blow up an enemy vehicle!

I recently went through Mass Effect. Definitely an awesome game once you get into it.

Seconded, and playing it through twice is very worthwhile. The first time I went through I achieved a maximum level of "Paragon", which reflects just and noble actions in the game world. This time I'm making decisions that make me a "Renegade" (bad guy). Either course affects the outcome of the game as well as the progression of the story.

Great game.

Just finished it as well. Enjoyed it a lot. Thinking about going back and playing it dark side as well.
