It's funny you say that, I think my last post was related to jokes not working on PSOW...

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Edit: since I'm being a dick, I'll add something more ontopic. I think you'll find ANY of steam's/vault's games pretty entertaining, unless you already played em all on XBOX or something, I guess. You should get Steam anyway though.

You might always want to try out the "free to play" Realm of the Mad God. It's one of the newer *popular* games on Steam.

Why? Because it's the first ever role-playing...Massive Multiplayer Bullet Hell Shooter.

Yeah, that actually reads right. It's actually that kind of mishmash.

[AOI_Tifa_Lockhart]

Yeah there's lots of free to play MMO's on PC also emulators for every single console up to Wii and i'm sure there will be PS3 and Xbox soon...or possibly even now I can't say i've bothered or had any interest in checking.

[Sayara]

Also alot of demos available in Steam as well see if you'll like them before you buy.

Years ago, there was a humorous Fan dub that had the saying, "Water plus heat equals Steam. Always remember this. The world can be saved by Steam."

Never thought that phrase would *ahem* Hold water. However, it seems if you're looking for PC stuff, download Steam and use that as a *first* hub for checking what all the Hot and *soon to be hot* titles are. It's a fantastic *first stop* to finding what is out there. It literally is the App Store and Xbox Live of the PC realm.

[AC9breaker]

Starcraft 2
and Diablo 3 in a couple of months. Al you need, oh and obviously PSO2.

[DayDreamer]

Is Final Fantasy 14 finally subscription based now?
Or is it still free, cause my friend told me about some kind of new version they are working on to remodel FF14 and that they were bringing back the subscription because of it.

Yeah, it's currently $10 a month for one character.

Here is the announcement about version 2.0. (http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/teaser/index.html) There should be some links at the bottom that show some scheduled plans and concept art. It's still a ways off, as far as I know. You might can find some other info around the Lodestone forums.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. :)

[Genoa]

Aion goes free to play today :)
Just sayin...

The Bethesda library is good as the mods literally transform the games from merely good, to great. And, yes, the Valve library is chock full of greats as well. If you feel like a trip back in time the old Epic games are also decent, Unreal in particular is still a good game. If you really want to head back in time id's first Windows games are on Steam as well. Doom II in particular was one of the best games to come out in the 90s. And because Steam has the stock WAD files you can use them for something like the Doomsday Engine (http://www.dengine.net/). That way you can really customize it as need be on a more modern machine. It even works with texture, model, and sound packs if you wish to 'modernize' it a bit. Another really good series is the STALKER series. If you like RPGs and shooters they're a good combination, similar in some regards to Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Very good setting in the Zone around Chernobyl and only available for PC, so something you most certainly haven't played before.

If racing is more your style, Codemasters games are a good choice. The DiRT series and GRID are good, though might get frustrating as the difficulty ramps up. Some of the older Need for Speed games are good as well, in particular I spent a lot of time playing Most Wanted as I honestly think that was the peak of the 'modern' Need for Speed games even if it is rather old at this point.

Otherwise some indie games on Steam that I enjoy are Audiosurf, Killing Floor, Terraria, Eufloria, and Everyday Shooter.

But, back to the Valve games a benefit of owning them is that you can download mods that are full games in themselves. Several games started out as mods, like Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike, and Team Fortress. The same can be said of Unreal Tournament 2004 and Unreal Tournament 3, though lesser so with that one, that both are platforms for mods.

Honestly, it depends on what kind of games you love. I'm partial to those that I have stated, as well as strategy and simulation games. The Sim City series is absolutely fantastic (outside of Societies, but I like to pretend that never happened). Age of Empires II (and The Conqueror's Expansion) is absolutely by far my favorite strategy game of all time and is dirt cheap at this point. Some of the best games for PC are older and can be had for the change hidden in the couch.

Wow, not to say ver2.0 doesn't sound promising... but the way they are just flat-out saying how much the original version sucks feels... bad. Really bad.

if you're into puzzle game, Bejeweled 3 is pretty fun with a lot of modes to play.
my favorite modes are Lightning and Ice Storm; both of these modes require you
to be very quick if you want high score. i play this game very often and enjoy it much.
