Video & PC Game Discussion

Ask you guys, if you can recommend me something on PC, about 8-12 years old (not for 8-12 years old :-D ).

Thanks for quick reply Caio. However, I've already played all these games. They're classics, it's hard to miss them. And unfortunately, I'm PC gamer only, always been, probably always will be. I'll however try some of things mentioned on consoles from this thread.

What about Beyond Good & Evil, someone familiar with ? Or something like space-trading simulator (Freespace, Homeworld, these). Or anything else ?

My computer limitations are bad. I was able to play Tomb Raider - Legend, but I don't have high hopes that it was anything else than just twist of fortune. I have integrated graphic card, 1.5 one core processor and 2GB RAM (but cut down by 1GB of applications running, which I can't shut down, not even for gaming). 

It can be new game, but it simply can't be hardware demanding. Oh, how I would like to play Fallout 3 (1&2 were perfect).

I really like Neverwinter Nights 2, Jody.

I've not played Alpha Protocol or KotOR II though.

Jody, James, guys. It's not easy for me to admit it, but I think that Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, all these games, especially first one, are too difficult for me. I've tried Baldur and I would really want to play it, as story is very interesting there, I like isometric games and RPG's, but it's hard.

Arcanum is also difficult, but that's the point, isn't it ? Rewarding experience for those who are able to play them. Well, I managed to finish both Fallouts (not Tactics, not yet), so I'll try it. I certainly want. And when I want something that is possible for me to achieve, I'll achieve it :-)

Caio - I'll start with first epizode, good suggestion as well.

I can only play new FREEWARE / INDIE games. Like World of Goo, Machinarium, this kind of new games with low resource demands. Because I don't need perfect graphic, I need gameplay & DECENT graphic. I'm not used to play 80s games, or even text games (Zork), but give me decent graphic and I can play it.

My children and i have been addicted to this game!

MM, Baldur's Gate and those games aren't especially difficult to play.  Baldur's Gate is hard at the beginning, as you're level 1 but Icewind Dale isn't too difficult if you have the right players.  Persevere with it.

Also try Planescape: Torment.  You don't need to do much fighting in order to beat the game, so it may appeal to you more.  Not sure.

I like RPGs and always looking for those i had missed, so my lat one (two weeks ago) was Fable: the lost chapters, and i really enjoy it. as for now Im with Elder Scrolls 4, Dragon Age is next in my list...
