Got any new games to recommend?

[Neon_Chaos]

I'm on a fairly reasonable laptop, a Dell D630. Core2 Duo, 1 GB ram, 256mb video.

Looking around the department stores for a decent game to play while i'm here in the US, anyone have any idea of the good games now?

Civ4

Uh-huh.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Civ4 with expansions. Must have.

I have CoH. Company of Heroes wouldn't run well on my laptop. I refuse to play that game with 1Gb of ram. :) It works magnificently on my desktop back at home though. 2 GB ram and 512 mb of video processing power.

I think I'll go look into Civ4. Haven't really given it a look. I used to play the heck out of Civ1 and Civ2, and got turned off by Civ3. Is there a collection pack that has all the expansions? (Just to save me some $$$) :)

I haven't seen it, but some people have reported buying a Civ 4 collection with both expansions.

Think there is a Gold Edition with the regular game and Warlords. I think you'll have to buy Beyond the Sword separately.

FM07, FBCB, BBCF, DDSPB, OOTP2007, TCB, etc. Any good text sim is great to play in a notebook as graphics are not an issue, also wargames. But what kind of games do you like?

[Warhammer]

Games I've been playing Dominions 3 (great game MP) and IL-2:1946 (flight sim). I am in two Dominions 3 MP games, soon to be one. I spend roughly 2 hours a night on a couple of IL-2 servers which is great fun.

I currently have Black and White 1 running on my laptop.

I mostly go with RTS, 4X, and text sims. I was thinking more of games that i could buy in stores, and that don't require me to have to download and go online and register. I also don't have my credit card with me right now, will be getting it a couple of weeks from now.

I already have FM07, but i'm a bit bored with it right now.

B&W and FM are the games running on my laptop... and I think B&W is losing its novelty on me after having not played it for the past two years.

Overlord on PC is 'ok' - its not gripping me but is fun in small blasts.

I'll push 'Battle for Wesnoth' if you like strategy games and of course there's another FM on its way in a few months ;)

You don't need to get the first expansion Warlord. BTS the 2nd expansion includes everything that Warlord has in it.

[Warhammer]

Oh geez, Galactic Civilizations II is great. I'll also back Marc on Battle for Wesnoth.

Went around Walmart, Civ4 is just too expensive right now. :)

Bought an EA games collection of Black & White 2 w/ expansion, LOTR BTME 1, and C&C Generals w/ expansion, and RTW w/ Barbarian Invasion for the same price.

[Neon_Chaos]

Ok. I'm going to stop passing any game store.

I've just reached my own personal limit for buying PC games while I'm here in the US. :)

For $100, I have bought:

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth
Command and Conquer Generals
Command and Conquer Generals expansion
Black and White 2
Black and White 2 expansion
Rome Total War
Rome Total War expansion
M
Neverwinter Nights
NWN Expansion 1
NWN Expansion 2
NWN Expansion 3
True Crime New York
Splinter Cell Double Agent


That boils down to about $7.70 per game, and about 1000+ hours worth of gaming.
