What games really impressed you on the PC?

Well for me, the following gave me that "WOW" feeling for a long time:

One of the first has got to be Quake. This was very impressive to me and started my whole PC gameing experience.

Next came SimTower.. ahh the gameplay was what's so great. I got Tower Rating also! Took many trys..but I eventually made the ultimate tower.

Age Of Empires 1 (very addictive at first for a long time..2 wasnt as addictive..later I even tried Rise Of Nations.. some said it was good.. i say it's crap.. gameplay is too busy.)

Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader (both very amazing.. they blow AOE away!)

Rollercoaster Tycoon (ahhh.. now here was something to play!)

The Sims (CRACK COCAINe.. i regret the hours wasted tho..:-( )

Grand Theft Auto 3 (Play and Beat #3, then get vice city! AMAZING games... I Looooove this new genre they busted out with.)

Halo (BUY IT!!.. you wont regret the purchase..online play is the best!!!)

Right now I'm trying Tiger Woods PGA 2004 and Doom 3 (good graphics..lacks horror..might be the save system that makes it too easy)...oh yea, dont forget some HALO from time to time..damn it's such a time waster...but soo fun... drool

halo owns, i luvz it
doom3 also owns
halo2 WILL OWN

lol

if ur into flight simming, FS2004 is the best, it's got the best graphics, challenges even that of doom3 (visually, some things look "too" real).

Far Cry - Game was as good as everyone said it was when i played it :D

doom 2 back in the day - this game was scary as shit when i was 9

Tony hawks pro skater 1 and 2 - lots of hours playing

Raibow six rouge spear -tons of hours playing

4x4 Evo - Huge ammounts of hours playing

Unreal Tournament - didnt play too often but hey it kicked ass!

Counterstrike (xbox/pc) - godlike amount of hours!!!!!!!!

*Hitman 2 (cool graphics at the time it came out)
*Max Payne 2 (loved the bullet moment)
*The Suffering (very violent :D)
*Silent Hill 2 (cool story and creepy)
*Alien VS. Predator 2 (aliens ... everywhere)
*Warcraft III (awesome strategy/rpg)
*Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (my first thps expirience - cool)
*Stronghold (first rts game I played seriously)

ah, another stronghold fan

Farcry is a really cool game, but is hard to get running smoothly without having shitty picture quality.:dry:

I'm a big Stronghold fan as well. Best RTS strategy I played. (Red Alert 2 a close 2nd)


Other impressive PC games:

Half-Life
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Battlefield 1942

Anarchy Online for me.

First MMORPG I played, and taking part of this huge world with thousands of real life people had me going for quite some time.
