Recommend me some games to kill boredom
Hello,
It has been a long time since I played any games on my PC, call it due to the ancient hardware or my shifting focus on other things.  Now I am quite bored of doing serious things and need to rejuvenate myself.
What better than gaming??Right??
I have CS, which I will be installing soon. Yes, I love CS, waiting to frag some terrorists.
Can you recommend some other games? Just I don't want any strategy games like Civilization/AOE/WOW and I hate football/cricket and other sport games.
I would like to try my hand out at Urt and Serious sam. Any games besides these I can play?
Do note my system reuirements while suggesting:
P4 2.0 GHZ
768 MB DDR RAM
Zebronics 7300GT 512 MB AGP 8x card

Re: Recommend me some games to kill boredom
Not sure if it will run, but I would really recommend playing Fallout 3. Beware it's a huge game, clocking more than 100+ hours but the experience is very enriching. Though it is more towards the higher side, but I have seen a lot of reviews where it scales pretty well on lower end system, mine being one.

Re: Recommend me some games to kill boredom
Infernal  its a cool TPS (rather short, but the graphics make up for that)

Infernal is a TPS game & not an FPS. But yeah it should run decently on the above config.

Re: Recommend me some games to kill boredom
The ultimate time pass game that would run on that config is GTA:SA. Also play GTA:VC and GTA3.

Re: Recommend me some games to kill boredom
^ Been reading on the net about it.
Is the game available in three versions? Should I get prophecy or any other?

Fahrenheit was it's original title. It's still available for the PS2 in it's uncut version. Indigo Prophecy, for the PC, has been stripped off the nudity part. The European PC retail is unedited though (if you can find it). I was myself going to try this game on my PS2, which has been lying around for like ages. Can anyone comment how the gameplay is & is it like an RPG or something?

it's about button tapping sequences. Story is awesome till you get to the ending. End is some kinda fcuked up sci-fi sh!te...lol
You will have play as 3 characters (excluding young protagonist). And listen to Theroy of A Deadman tracks in his apartment.
Awesome interactive cutscenes, cinematic view and a must play.
It's TPS and not RPG. Your actions decide the endings.

Re: Recommend me some games to kill boredom
Urban Chaos is a very good addictive game. This is which I liked the most at that time.
You can try some Big Fish Games. They are the most addictive ones until you solve the puzzle.
You can try Mystery Case Files :Huntsville. I bet you will play it until your eyes get dark red staring and searching.
