Anyone got any recommendations for games to get Pc or PS2? I have in mind Lara Croft (bit expensive)or GoW2. I was deliberating getting World of Warcraft for the PC, anyone played this? Says its an online game which you need a credit card to play, hows that work? Can you just wander around it without meeting any other on-line people or is it a

Tombraider anniversary is fun on PS2. Have you tried Prince of Persia:Sands of time? It was out a couple of years back so might be cheap now.

Esran & Spike both play WoW and say it's great - as long as you don't value your social life.

Right you are, Sands of Time is way cheap, Fiver including P&P from Amazon. I would value my social life but I don't really have one anyway;-(so I play computer games instead:-)

There is endless fun to be had in old games for the PC.
I am currently playing my way through Fallout which is ten years old. It is one of the best games I have played recently, just for its unique atmosphere.

Provided you do not care about modern graphics you could lose a lifetime in old PC games that will not tax you PC in the slightest.

RPGs like the Fallout series, the (original not console) Baldur's Gate series, Icewind Dale etc.
First person RPG shooter adventure stuff like System Shock 2, Deus Ex, the Thief games.
Real time strategy stuff like the Commandos 1&2 or Medieval: Total War (the original not the recently relesed sequel).

What sort of PC games do you like?

On the PC, I love the old strategy games like Command and conquer, I was reminiscing about the good old days of Populous on the Amiga. Not really played much else on the PC, so anything really.

You could try and get hold of a copy of Total Annihilation for C&C style goodness, only better.
Commandos 2 is an awesome game, more a puzzle/rts cross really.
Knights of the old republic is supposed to be a very good Star Wars RPG.
