GAMEPLAN

I like rpg games. If you know some good rpg games with good graphics and if I can play them multiplayer from one pc please tell me. 2005-2008. Thanks!

The only one I know of is LOTR: Return of the King. It’s a hack and slash game, with fairly good graphics for its time.

You will need at least 1 gamepad controller and 1 keyboard. Both players share the same screen (like you asked).
Hope this is what youre looking for.

I love Hasbro’s Pictureka, a seek and find game. I would like to find some games similar, I have the played the heck out of pictureka and I am ready for something a little different, but still similar. Any suggestions???

I am looking to buy a gaming pc that can play all the high graphic games such as Crysis and all the other newer ones. How much would a gaming pc cost me that could play all the current games and not need an upgrade for the next 2 or so years? Thanks in advance to those who answer

You can spend anywhere from $500 to $1000 for a PC that can handle most games. The cheaper end PCs near the $500 mark will have integrated graphics so you’ll want to purchase a dedicated graphics card that won’t pull processing power from your PC … Any AMD x2 or Intel dual-core processor will be adequate. Make sure you have 2G of RAM and a Graphics Card in your PC and you shouldn’t have any issues.

Also, holding out right now for a few more months and waiting for AMD to release their Tri-Core Processors would be a good idea. Benchmarks show that the extra processing core on the AMD Phenom (Quad-Core) processor do not provide any additional benefit for current PC gaming.

Will I be able to download computer games onto the hard drive from the CD/DVD-ROM so I don’t have to keep putting the disc in the computer?

You could try to copy all of the files to a folder and try running from there, but alot of CD’s with games now have protection, where they require the cd to be in the drive bay, sometimes it even wont work if you copy the cd. If that doesn’t work, then just keep using the cd. I switch cd’s all the time; I dont mind. Plus, it saves space on your harddrive.

I was hoping to be able to play some of the original adventure games.
Games such as Zork, dnd, and colossal cave adventure.
Any help is appreciated.

pc games always force you to upgrade your PC hardware, but some people insist on playing computer games with their PC.
What is your opinion about this?

Well PC will always have the best graphics as they can be upgradable. The latest graphics breakthroughs are always on the PC followed by Consoles.

Take Crysis for example you don’t just have the best graphics in a game you also have a huge open world, were everything is destructible, dynamic, realistic physics, has shadows on even the smallest objects, HDR, huge draw distance. Every tree, leaf is its own. Put everything combined together and this kind of thing cannot be reproduced on a games console(PS3/360). Period.

As for ALWAYS upgrading that is not true. If one does their homework you can get a very decent system and stick with it for 3 Years or so and still play all the latest games fine.

However being able to upgrade a computer is what makes it special and unqiue and is not a con, while a PS2 lies in the dust now and years from now the same to PS3, The PC will still be cutting edge.

Furthermore the notion that you have to spend $3000 or so for gaming PC is ridiculous.

The Innovative and in-depth games(e.g. Portal) are usually found on the PC first and the PC being lead platform.

Then you have the online community, Online play is free and there are thousands of servers and can hold much bigger number of players than consoles, it truely makes it a more fun experience. You also will still have people playing old games online that you thought everyone forgot about.

For racing and fighting games consoles are a better choice other than that PC has much broader library of games of all genres.

Furthermore FPS(First Person Shooters) are better playing with a mouse and keyboard, faster, better, more accurate. With consoles you don’t do all of the aiming as there is Auto-Aim features. RTS games also if that fits ones taste also is better with keyboard/mouse.

Mods give a whole new dimention to game and can be found for every game. The actual games also cost half of what console games cost.

The talk about Patches for PC games well 360 and PS3 also now require users to download patches so that argument is no longer valid either. And Patches are a good thing.

And also even though people say you shouldn’t include a HDTV to a console I’ll say this, when person is getting a console they aren’t getting all the graphical benefits unless they have a HDTV. And people do say you need a HDTV for "Next-gen gaming".

WIth PC’s almost all games, even very old games are able to play games NATIVELY at HD whether it is at 720p, 1080p or even higher than that even before the PS3 and 360 were out.

I also am not being biased as I do have PS3 myself simply because there are fighting, sports, racing games that I find better played on a console as well as some of the exclusives the PS3 has on offer. But I still know the PC is a great platform for gaming and also lets you do so many other things.

Since our xbox 360 isn’t working, I’ve ordered a PC version of my Fall Out 3 game. And I was wondering, even though it’s PC, could I still play with a friend of mine who’s on their xbox 360 online?

No I dont think so. They dont have cross platform servers. If they were able to do that all systems would be able to be linked game wise online

Im looking for a sight to download free pc games but i dont know where. If you know the answer and the website, dont just tell the website i really rather you tell the website and what to do in order to download the games on the website. O yeah it doesnt have to be a full version. It could be demos. Thanks.

You can play flash games on online sites. They often work at school too and its legal. Here are some websites I bookmarked.

Go shit your self and buy your on games!

There is something new called Nancy Drew Dossier. How is it different from the original adventure games? Please help me out? Is it easier, harder, same?

I’ve never played it. I’m not sure if I’m willing to give it a go..the gameplay is so different from the adventure games.

From what I understand, the Dossier game is more of a search-and-find game. There is a larger mystery involved, but a LOT more little games to play, as opposed to actual snooping. There are characters, and you ask questions, but its not a major part of the game. I’ve actually heard that there are levels…that you cannot leave a certain room until you’ve found all there is to find there.

Doesn’t appeal to me. I’ve heard that it keeps many players busy between games (which is why I had some interest) but that it’s not overly hard. I may give it a shot, but as of now, I would definately recommend the Adventure games–they are really more my cup of tea.

Anyway, there are two Dossier games out: Lights, Camera, Curses! and Resorting to Danger.
Here’s the page with both games:

Here’s a thread where users compare the two series; I find it interesting:
