Any gamers here? PC I really mean, I am using my first PC in YEARS and have looked at some online game sites, I have a friend who told me to be REALLY careful with some of these ,some are not that secure. So, I am looking for some good safe game sites. Any ideas?
 
I'm a PC gamer with Vista. Actually, it's using my Xbox Live account so that I can play with them.
 
If you like RPGs, check out Morrowind and another is Oblivion. Online gaming RPGs are scarce because they are typically one-player. I myself am waiting on [video=youtube;2a27gUn6gP0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a27gUn6gP0[/video] which comes out in August.

Have you heard of World of Warcraft?

Are you looking for a massively-multiplayer game or just something that you can get online?


I play World of Warcraft. I allow it to devour my life.

That game is like crack and I refuse to play it.

Morrowind and Oblivion are awesome, but they are single player and also very cracklike in their nature.

The only online game I play these days is Diplomacy. Good for the brainwaves.

No, I personally haven't. However, my old housemate used to play it for at least 18 hours a day, every day. He was an emaciated piece of work by the time I left that house.

It's crack, I tells ye!!!

Diplom.org represent yo.

Diplomacy is all about domination of Europe. It was originally a board game, but because it translates well to the internet and mail, people play it that way. All about being a good negotiator and being able to stab people in the back.

Much fun.
 
I'm quite partial to Pac-Man...you can devour a significant amount of your lifespan just by reading all the instructions that go with these role-playing games.
 
Is oblivion necessarily online gaming? My friend has an Xbox 360 and I play it there, but not online. Anywho, it is fun. I refuse to play world of warcraft because my internet is erratic. I like Warcraft 3, though.
 
Oblivion is not an online game nor is Morrowind. They have online updates, plug-ins, and expansions, but there is no online multiplayer.

Has anyone played Guild Wars? I've always wanted to play it.

Yep, I was looking for an online site but then realized what you are saying after searching in vain!
 
Now I am thinking of just buying Battle for Middle Earth. My best friend loves it.Anyone on PB tried it?

i got mine for really cheap. its interesting and fun. I like it.

two drawbacks:

*given the technology in graphics (e.g., oblivion, warcraft, etc), Battle for Middle Earth's technology isn't great. The graphics are medium.

*Make sure your computer is fast enough. Mine runs slow. I have a 2005 HP Laptop.

But I do enjoy playing it.

2Duo Processor on a 2007 Toshiba Satellite laptop, I think that should run Battle for Middle Earth OK, it has been out a couple of years I think.:up:
 
OK, I have decided not to get an online PC game (my wife thinks they are addictive), so I am thinking about Battle for Middle Earth..........OR, Rome, Total Warfare! Any odeas for a NON online RPG or Strategy?
 
Non-online you should always go for Morrowind or Oblivion. The Neverwinter Nights games are also good, especially when combined with the online play.
 
I allow World of Warcraft to control my life at times as well.....
its very very very fun..... but can be addicting...
but with self control.... its tons of fun
