Would like to try a new old PC game from 2001-2006

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I'm craving for a new old PC game to play that was released between 2001-2006. My PC can only handle technology from that time period, unfortunately. Not looking for multiplayer...

 

You can exclude these from your recommendations since I already own them:

 

Medal of Honor Allied Assault

Medal of Honor Allied Assault: Spearhead

Medal of Honor Allied Assault: Breakthrough

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault

Battlefield 1942

Call of Duty

Call of Duty: United Offensive

Call of Duty 2

Command and Conquer Generals

Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour

Delta Force Black Hawk Down

Delta Force Black Hawk Down: Team Sabre

Far Cry

F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. Extraction Point

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

Star Wars Republic Commando

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood

Jade Empire

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Rise of Nations

Rise of Nations Thrones & Patriots

Grand Theft Auto Vice City

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

Vietcong

Vietcong: Fist Alpha

Silent Hunter III (never really sat down and played it)

 

From my research online, I have singled out some games that I have never played and have some interest in:

 

Half-Life 2

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Company of Heroes

 

Comment on either these listed above or on others you have played and would recommend.

HomeWorld 2 is a sci-fi strategy game from 2003 that's very, very good. Also, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was from 2003 as well, and is fantastic.

Vampire - The Masquerade : Bloodlines , an Action-RPG based on the Source-Engine. Be sure to get the Unofficial Patch if you want to play it.

Statement: There's a neat way to get around the "limitation" of computers that I've found. It's a feature that's apparently been around for a while now called GOOGLE.

 

Query: What about the Battlefront games?

Thank you all for the suggestions.

 

Picked up the complete Company of Heroes pack on Steam for $9.99 after playing through the demo nonstop this past weekend

Jedi Outcast worked on all of the PCs I've owned including my old Pentium 4. I would highly suggest it as it is still unbelievably fun to force throw stormtoopers into the ground and full dismemberment is possible with your lightsaber (if you know how to add it in the console) Also the narrative is really well done for single player.

 

Academy is good if you like options in your single player and want to play it in any sequence you want. (I hated heck out of the story, but maybe you might dig it)-If you're into it, full dismemberment is hard to apply, but with time and google, I was able to get it to work-

 

Half-Life 2 is one of my absolute favorites and it is still a graphics tour de force to this day. I like physics gameplay and you really can play it however you want with the grav gun. The script is also top-notch and the sound quality is quite nice.

Not sure about your system, but you might try this: Master of Orion 2:Battle at Antares. Yes, it's 1996-2001, but the specs should be good:

 

If you want to know more, PM me;I added you as a friend, so just go to your profile.
