Good computer games

Anybody knows of good computer games? The ones I like most are strategy, creational (god or control of species evolution) and all around unique/original ones.

As a suggestion of myself, I recommend Black & White, a game where you are a god that needs workshipers to have power and must convert everone to our religion, what includes battling other gods... it rocks :)

I really like Black and White but it kinda faded because I was having trouble finding people to play against online... and now I've lost my discs etc.

I think you might like the "Galactic Civilization II" because of the research and development aspects... or any of the Civillization games.

Oh and act raiser will take you a few hours to beat if you're any good so I would VERY VERY much recommend it at least once as it's the grand-daddy of all god games. If you haven't played it, play it right now, I swear.

Gal Civ is poo...

Well... I mean it's not a bad game, but it has a fraction of the gameplay depth of most other massive TBS games. I'd much rather be playing AC or MOO..

Act Raiser 2 is also pretty decent.

Dungeon Siege amused me.
An RPG with the style of an RTS in many ways ^_^

Space empires 3 and 5 are fun. 4 is no good.

The latter may seem a *tiny* bit familiar

How about Warzone 2100, it's an Open-Source RTS, more or less what BloX is based on.

Well, I've just got Crysis and seem to be saying it ever crysis few seconds, what with how crysis much I've been crysis enyoing it, but really crysis isn't for all, not just because crysis the steep hard crysis ware requirments, and it's an crysis FPS, so it's not in the vein you are crysis looking for.

But, I crysis would say that Gal Civ 2 is a crysis huge improvement over Gal Civ 1.

Also, crysis, Space Rangers 2 is an awesome quirky, weird crysis, amalgamation of about 50,000 things that don't quite work, but when stuck together are crysis addicting.

Ok, this is important... has everyone who has posted in this thread gone and played Act Raiser yet?

smoth · Post by **smoth** » 15 Nov 2007, 05:32

the old game? wasn't that nes?

I thought IRONTANK or robowarrior was the best NES game!

NO IDEA WHY but back then, they were my favorites and I never got to own either one, just rent the hell out of them!
