Yes, YOU buy ME a game  Wink

allow me to explain: you choose the game, I buy it, and I get to play it... and you get the satisfaction of knowing I'm playing the game YOU chose for me Wink Grin

I've got this gift card, with enough money to buy a pc game... but I can't decide on one... so I got this idea... you guys throw a bunch of suggestions in, and I pick the one I liked the most and go ahead and buy it

I'll announce the winner when I make my decision. the winner will get FREE AWESOME SCREENSHOTS  Shocked Shocked (posted here)

So, let the games begin  Grin

...and thanks in advance  Wink

EDIT: The "contest" is closed!! The Winner is Specter177, with his suggestion: Mass Effect!!

(see pg2)

Thanks to all who participated!  Cheesy

Cheers

Oh, BTW, here's a list of recent games I already have or have played through:

GTA IV
FSX Deluxe + Acceleration
Test Drive Unlimited
Battlefield series: 1942, 2, 2142
SimCity 2000, 3000, 4
Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2
IL2: Sturmovik
Pacific Fighters
CoD: World at War
The Orange Box
Spore
Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Armed Assault: Gold Edition

You can use this list to base your suggestion, but I have an open mind and am open to suggestions outside these lines.

Another thing... I am restricted to the choice of games available at the store, so if they don't have it, I can't buy it, no matter how good the suggestion  Wink

Good luck to all

Cheers

Call of Duty 4 - a brilliant, enthralling storyline. If you like arcady fun, this is a brilliant solid game to buy. It makes you feel like a REAL soldier in a real conflict between the Middle East, USA, Russia and Britain.

Addictive multiplayer, I'm sure you know this from CoD:WAW.


Or, wait for Armed Assault 2.

I'm sure you know from playing the first one, it is no arcady game. Yes, ArmA was buggy, but ArmA 2 WILL be different. ArmA 2 also features thrust vectoring to an extent (VTOL is possible), and it has the F-35B, AV-8B and V-22.

If you like cargo planes, it also has a C-130, and it has two UAVs, the Reaper and Pchela.

It has a brilliantly planned storyline, and your decisions will effect the events of said storyline. Wink

What for SubZero? You have an i7! What advantages does FS9 have over FSX?

Don't say lack of add-ons, because, you are choosing that future by not moving on and staying with FSX. Wink

It's an i7... not a mircale Grin

I still have FSX installed and use it 50/50 with FS9. Why do I have FS9 installed and still play it on my i7 system? ... Nostalgia. It's hard to explain Roll Eyes

Oh, I'd also have to recommend S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl. It will run very well on your system (I completed the game with about 9FPS on a laptop).

A brilliant first-person-shooter, where realism meets science-fiction. Post-apocalyptic setting in which Chernobyl suffers a second accident, set in 2012. Very atmospheric, and conveys the feeling of fear, more than most other games that I have played.

Thinking on your feet is required. Radiation poisoning? No antirads or vodka? Find some quick. Low on rifle ammo? You better be damned good with a pistol or knife.

With such a large (but linear) world, you may do anything you like to accomplish the objective, and careful planning does pay off. Stealth works to an extent, and you will regret not moving slowly and scanning with your binoculars.

Overall, when it is night time, you have no rifle ammo left, you are bleeding and have no night-vision, you have no idea when you will run into a mutant or pocket of radiation, it is probably the most intense sci-fi experience out there. Wink

Lol at the i7 not being a miracle.
