My Current PC Game List

[Phil Walker]

Well, the news I spoke of in the post prior to this one has come to be now. Yes, I NOW have Children of the Nile AND a LEGAL version. Reason I didn't say about it earlier is I got "snookered" with a "bottleg" version. My official copy arrived yesterday and is now installed, and yes, including the newest US patch. While I can't say that I've been at it hot and heavy, I have "played at" it.

The list is forever growing ;D!!! What can I say?!


Sincerely,
Phil

[Keith Heitmann]

Glad to hear you have a good copy this time.

[Phil Walker]

No need to say more Keith. I did TRY to save money and it ended up costing me more than I had hoped. Just chalk it up to a learning experience I guess !!!

Sincerely,
Phil

[Phil Walker]

Well, hope everybody's stocking were full with the newest games that have come out. I have some more additions myself, but will save them after a couple arrive as they did not yet come in time for Christmas. A Great Christmas as always and hope all had same.

Sincerely,
Phil

Dang Phil, that is some list
I can see long hours in front of the keyboard in your future, hehe. I haven't bought anything new since War in the Pacific. My current gaming list:

War in the Pacific
Crown of Glory
Sims 2
Sacred
Diablo
EverQuest
Children of the Nile (gave this one another chance and found that I DID like it....but stalled when playing the Bubastis scenario since trying to build in the delta wasn't much fun)
Hearts of Iron 2
Pirates
SimCity 4 (put this one back on the machine after a long hiatus)

How is Civ 4? I've heard good reviews but really haven't looked into it.

[Phil Walker]

You ask about Civ. 4, well what can I say?! It's a Sid game, so it is definately worth getting. There are both a CD and DVD version, but the CD has almost 4 CDs from what I hear. Got the DVD of course. Also a patch has to be downloaded as well but this one you can do MP without getting other CDs because of the patch among other things. So, that's an improvement. Does look great, but haven't really gotten into too much yet. Will have to get back with you for my review when I have time to play it through a few times (probably in a new thread).

Also, yes, many hours in front of the PC as always. Not too much else I can do with my sight as it is, so keeps me occupied ;D !!!

Sincerely,
Phil

[PUFF88]

wow you guys are playing a ton of games, i find i cant play so many different titles at one time. every now and then i try some demos or play a game for awhile.


currently playing
dod source
counterstrike source
World of Warcraft
GTA san andreas

and Empire at War demo, i really like this one fighting in space and on land.

just loaded battlefield 2
brothers in arms , earned in blood
and ut2004

gonna download and try the new Americas Army update, been a year since i played it.

[Phil Walker]

Have to laugh Puff ;D !!!

I don't play them all as often as I do some, but yes, I do play all of them. That is a comprehensive list of my total collection, not what I'm playing at present. You'll have to note the "Playing now..." thread as to what I'm currently playing, but as I said I do play all of them, just not at present as that would be impossible as some are quite lengthy and to interrupt an ongoing full-blown campaign, like with Civ. 4 and/or Knights of Honor, one would lose both interest and place ;D !!!

Sincerely,
Phil

[Keith Heitmann]

The only things I keep intalled are the games that I actively play. I keep the citybuilders Caesar III thru Emperor installed because I moderate those boards and use them for quick checks on player problems.

Children of the Nile is isntalled because it is still "new" enough to play now and again.

I have Jurassic Park Operation Genesis installed as a change of pace game.

I recently uninstalled Swat 4, a FPS game.

I have Rome Total War installed but haven't played in a while. I have considered uninstalling it.

I gave the Star Wars Empire At War demo a try but uninstalled it a week or so ago.

The only thing I'm really playing actively is the the Call of Duty 2 pre-release demo. I've been kicking around the idea of getting it. The demo is great fun and challenging.

I've got stacks of games I haven't played or even installed. I recently got a copy of Joint Operations Combined Arms as part of my compensation package but haven't installed it yet.

[Phil Walker]

Indeed you've played many I haven't Keith yet our tastes are very different at times, but the same at other times. With my available HD free space being so adequate now, I don't uninstall anything (right now anyway). Also being my PC is most of my activity, I need many changes to keep things from getting old any too quick. My favorties being the long and drawn out games. Whether a TBS or CB where I can take my time or a full blown RTS, they are equally enjoyable. When I only have a few minutes and need something quick I have a few of those as well ;D !!!

I've also decided to add two more to my "to get" list as they also seem fitting. "Rise of Nations" as I do enjoy the EE-type games and "Crusader Kings" as it is a Medieval game and I have yet to find one in that setting I don't like. It also does "look good" as well ;D !!!


Sincerely,
Phil

New Update:

Now that the E3 exhibition is all but history (as Keith knows this as well), many new games will soon be out. The top 10 list is also quite interesting and I have a little FYI for Puff as well. I am also adding a couple to my "to get" list although one I have alredy ordered as I received a discount coupon.

So, first for you Puff, there is a new World of Warcrraft game that made the E3 top 10 list. Being as you have the original thought you'd be interested.

As for me, my new to gets as follows:
Command & Conquer - First Decade (which I ordered)
Medieval 2 - Total War (also seen on the E3 top 10)

Many new games this year and hopefully Santa will be good to me again as well as my soon to be had birthday!


Sincerely,
Phil

[Phil Walker]

Well now have First Decade installed. Not exactly what I thought, but was a very nice addition. It's all the C&C games with all the expansions on one DVD. The official ones for Generals, Tiberian Sun, and Red Alert 2, but also the add-on missions for Red Alert and the original C&C. So, not bad, and glad I got it as I only have one other game that I do have expansions with. The one drawback is you had to uninstall all the old games before installing the new all-in-one.

Since tomorrow's my birthday, we'll see what else I end up with as PC games, movies, and music make up most of my list. ;D


Sincerely,
Phil

[Phil Walker]

Man!!! It's been ages since I've updated this thread, as I have many newer games now than before. Some I just received today as a matter of fact.

So, here are all my latest updates (and all but two are installed):

Caesar 4
Celtic Kings
Crusader Kings
Empire Earth 2 (with the Expansion)
Medieval 2 - Total War
Warrior Kings AND
Warrior Kings - Battles

So, the list continues to grow as I still have all the others still installed. Yet, I also have found some other new ones to add to my "to get" list. Those being; Castle Strike and the new Command and Conquer game; Tiberian Wars. My favorite setting (Medieval) continues to grow and finding more all the time, which I'm VERY happy to see! ;D


Take Care All!
Sincerely,
Phil

I have all my citybuilders installed, Caesar III, Pharaoh, Zeus, Emperor, CotN, CivCity Rome, and Caesar IV.

The only thing I'm currently playing actively is a reinstall of a old game Star Fleet Academy II. I'm out to conquer the whole map this time as a Klingon and well on my way to doing so, but its a long long slog as the hexagonal segments of the map fall or open up very slory.
