CaptainRAVE Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Alen Vs Predator 2 or Max Payne unless you already have them.......definatly the two best games of 2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Agreed. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is good too, as well as Ghost Recon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digl Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 those games mentioned are all good (If you dont have Max Payne you must get it), but what kind of game are you looking for? If you want a strategy game get Civilization III, very good game B&W, giants To mention some not FPS games If you want a mp FPS I would go with RtCW Red Faction SP seemed very good to me, but I only played the demo Serious Sam was serious fan IMO, and It should be very very cheap now If you want to make kills by thousands (literally)get that game, Its also fun playing coop in the harder levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykel007 Posted December 13, 2001 Author Share Posted December 13, 2001 Thanks digil for the complete list, but what does RtCW mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwup Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 RTCW - Return to Castle Wolfenstein, aka hose down some nazis If you want to work with a TEAM get RTCW, if you wanna run and gun get Max Payne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Here some of my favorites. Clive Barker's Undying - shame that more people don't know about it. I actually had more fun playing this game than Max Payne. No One Lives Forever - James Bond * 20 Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now - Most sick twisted fun you'll ever have, if you can handle it... Giants - Most amazing looking envronments ever. Really quite a moving experience combined with the music of Jeremy Soule. Digl, I reckon its both a FPS and a third person game. I didn't realize that until the second time I played through it. Star Wars X-Wing Alliance - really makes you feel like your part of something grand. Zork: Nemesis - OUTSTANDING puzzles, and one of the best soundtracks ever for a game, hands down Deus Ex - gameplay is good but standard, however, the level design, characters, story, and music MORE than make up for it. more of an RPG than action but a FPS nonetheless. System Shock 2 - one of the best stories ever incorporated into a game. Will make you lose your mind if your not careful. And of course Jedi Knight which you no doubt already own. You won't be disappointed with any of these, hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 Giants is awesome, buy this game. The game is 100% British, and the humour is excellent. Vastly underrated though, and it sold poorly. I hope the PS2 version sells well, because I would really like a sequel to this amazing game.

nykel007 Posted December 15, 2001 Author Share Posted December 15, 2001 I don't own the JK series. Do you'll think it would be wise to buy it now since JK2 is comming out in a couple of months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 definitely. You can pick JK & MOTS together at the bargain counter for about £10. I think thats about $15. Dont expect much graphic wise as its 5 years old but it will kill a few hours... wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Maximum resolution the graphics still dont look to terrible ......JK is a bit boring these days though........might be a good buy though for people who dont know the story. The one to definatly buy is Dark Forces which looks terrible, but is great fun to play over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykel007 Posted December 15, 2001 Author Share Posted December 15, 2001 I think I might also get the JK series. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted December 15, 2001 Share Posted December 15, 2001 Well I certainly remember it being fun playing it over and over and over etc again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 Yes, I'd definitely recommend getting JK. It will give you a good background to JK2, and get you used to using the Force and saber. Although their use might change slightly in JK2, playing with them in JK will get you into the right mindset. As far as others go...if you like a good Hack'n'Slash try RUNE, or maybe Severance: Blade Of Darkness. Heretic II is definitely a fun action/fantasy game, and one of my favourites. No One Lives Forever is a cracking game too, if you like a bit of 60's spy spoofing. The original Unreal is still quite playable, and on budget release at the moment. Outcast is also a nice game (with a great soundtrack). If you're a fan of RTS titles, I'd have to recommend Cossacks. I've played the demo twice now...each time for nearly 6 hours, so I think I'm hooked on it, and I'm not a fan of RTS games. Strange that no one mentioned Half Life, which is still available with it's add-on Opposing Force. They might be dated, but they're still very playable.

Kurgan Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 Dark Forces over and over again? Heck no! Without a save feature, DF is just frustrating and annoying to replay, no offense to the fans over there. It's a good game, just doesnt' lend itself well to replay, IMHO. JK on the other hand is a great game to screw around with, using force, exploring, trying new stuff out, etc. And you can save anywhere. ; ) As far as screwing around goes, The Sims series is good, and so is Deus Ex. Also, AvP Gold is a great Single player game.. and gentler on your system than AvP2. Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted December 16, 2001 Share Posted December 16, 2001 I think Iv replayed more DF than JK You didnt play It on Its time Kurgan did you? You played it after JK and were annoyed by the lack of save feature IMO DF was great, and in some aspects better than JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
