[Request] List me some epic new games!

[Azurenys]

Hello, fellow forum members.

Straight to the point of my topic:
Due to having a really old machine I've been unable to play ANYTHING that has been released past 2007-2008.
As of now tho, I've gotten myself a pretty decent laptop that can run the games I've so far tested on at least medium with decent fps, which is far more than enough for me.

What I am looking for is a suggestion or two on what I've missed in the past couple of years, as of big titles that have proven their gameplay to be epic!

So far I've installed:
Star Wars : The Force Unleashed
GTA IV
NFS : Hot Pursuit 2

Thanks in advance! <3

These. I might also suggest getting a fairly old game in Star Wars: Battlefront II.

I picked that up for like 2.50 on steam. Got 18 hours of playtime completing it 100%, such a good value. It's fun as hell, but sadly the AI is retarded, still waiting on Battlefront 3 : /

Thank you so much guys! <3

If you think someone missed a good one - feel free to post

SC2

Space Marine
Call of Duty(s) of all sorts

Check out Metacritic and look over their rated PC games.

I've actually been massively disappointed with newer games lately Dead Island was fun but i eventually got bored of getting gas for people.

Total War Shogun 2 is probably the only game left on my steam that i didn't buy and end up uninstalling within the week, but hmm 2008 is a fair while ago now, i'd definitely recommend the dragon age/mass effect series if you haven't already played them.

Fallout new vegas
Call of duty modern warfare(COD4)(you may have already played this)
Deus Ex: human revolution
Left 4 Dead 2
Dead Island
League of Legends - Doesn't exactly need good hardware but very fun if played with a decent group.

Fable, even if you have it, play it again. Other that that I would lay down some pre orders for Skyrim, and Battlefield 3/MW3.

How are you finding the Force Unleashed? I've been playing Jedi Academy lately, because I just had to swing a lightsaber around and use force powers. If the Force Unleashed is just as fun, I'd be willing to grab it.

I played Oblivion till recently. Was quite fun, but my system struggled to play it, just as I struggle to play WoW with a very low framerate and lots of lag. I'd recommend it, though. It has a lot of depth. Just, um, don't go into third person view. It's terrible. >.<

Give Dragon Age and Mass Effect a shot; see how you like those. I haven't played either, but heard they are pretty good. There's always Portal / Portal 2 as well. The first one was really cool (can't say how the second one plays as I never got it). And along those lines, Half-life 2 was excellent; though I never did get through the 2nd or 3rd episodes. :/

Looking forward to Path of Exile, Skyrim and Diablo 3, so for future titles, check those out.

Thanks again, guys.

I've played Dragon Age: Origins on a mate's PC, and am still considering whether to get Dragon Age 2 or not, since many people say it is a ruined DA:O. :/

@Gaiwyn, so far it's been a lot of fun, the upgrade system seems a bit clunky but it's alright. I'd give the demo a shot if I were you (and if there's one..).

minecraft is pretty awesome. tons of gameplay like an MMO in a one-off payment. I particularly like the adventure maps I find on the minecraft forums.

apart from that, just reassuring some of the above titles I've personally played: Batman: Arkham Asylum, Portal 1 + 2 are all amazing. Maybe I should try some of these others people are listing too...

Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga

My top pick for a PC RPG.
