Question Know any good games?
Help! I have a pretty good system and not a fun thing to do on it. I can only afford two, maybe three games. Recommendations anyone?

Don't just say this or that game rocks... tell me why!

This might be easier if you specified a genre of game that you enjoy. ie First Person Shooters, Role Playing Games, etc.

I could bang off a couple good games for just about any genre out there, so I'll wait for you to reply

Impossible Creatures

Whether you have logged thousands of hours in real-time strategy (RTS) games or not, you've never seen anything like Impossible Creatures. You select and customize the units for your army from a DNA data pool comprised of dozens of animals; you can build an army from tens of thousands of combinations. You'll attack on land, sea, and air, with range, artillery, and special abilities available.

You'll also find that rapid comebacks are very possible, so, no matter your level of experience, you can stay competitive as you learn. We'll start with vocabulary for those new to RTS play.
Highly addictive game > this is not your run of the mill real time strategy game

when I get beat playing online > I go back to creature combiner & create a new creature for a counter attack.

making it a very unique RTS

Default Wary of game review sites
My number one reason for avoiding game review sites... too many pop-ups. Number two reason, too many review sites. Hard to tell the payola sites from the honest ones.

But I will take a look at gamespy.com since you guys recommended it.

Fav genre... RPG and strategy.

Thanks guys for the help!

I agree Circle of Blood is a very good game. I like all the Indiana Jones games, I just got the newest version Indiana Jones and the Emperors Tomb so far a great game. If you can find them the Space Quest and King Quest series of games are fun to play also.
