Just curious if there are any LLBLGen Users that have the time to play star wars galaxies and if you do, are you going to get the new jump to lightspeed upgrade?

Maybe I will see you all ingame sometime.

I play it sometimes - did not even know about the new add-on.

World of Warcraft...coming soon to 3:00 am bedtimes near you.

I can't understand why I get so sucked into these games. I deliberately stayed away from SW:G because of the insanity called Asheron's Call I got involved with. But WoW continues to beckon and I find myself on the game's homepage daily waiting for the open beta to start.

BTW, I was in the SW:G beta...didn't like it so much...

Jeff...

I saw some video's of the game, pretty good. However most of the time when I play a game it's Counterstrike (CS:source ) on the PC or grandturismo 3 / GTA:VC on my PS2

I am a BIG fan of strategy games like War Craft III and still play StarCraft - what a brilliant game - hehe - starcraft by brilliant

Warcraft III - w00t!

Welll Frans, youre in for a big surprise. In november, GTA San Andreas is comming out and so is Gran Tourismo 4.

If you guys ever want to play a mindless shooter, SW Battlefront is a killer FPS. It just burnst me that theres a 10 year old out thats better at it than me, hehe, oh well, I code better and make more money than the 10 year so i get more games

Here's a question. I'm a total non-gamer (flame me if you will...) and I know nothing about which games are good or not.

My ten-year-old enjoys his x-box, but would like to have some good computer games. We forbid blood-and-gore shoot-em-ups in our house. What's good for the PC that doesn't spill blood by the gallon?

Thanks!

Hmm, tough question. There is a fairly large market for the younger gamers out there.

Any of the madded/EA sports games are a safe bet (I think that some things are worse on sunday TV than what you see in madden games). All of the Harry Potter Games are on PC. The Myst series is a very challenging puzzle type game. The sims is a nother fairly safe one, but sometimes you meet strange people online. Zoo Tycoon, Rollercoaster Tycoon, there was also a jurassic park game out. The simpsons road rage 2 is pretty fun.

Other than that, I cant really offer any more advice except to swing by your local best buy. All games have a rating system on them that are typically accurate.

I prefer online game but don't like SWG (but I love the movies hehe) I play eve online, it's imho the best online game never made

Hmm, good games: RTS: Age of Mythology Rome Total War RPG: Star Wars Knights of the old Republic -- soo good Adventure: Runaway a road adventure Broken Sword III Hilarious fun: Gish multiplayer -- both players are a ball of tar, and then you sumo or play football, with very fun physics. Neighbours from Hell 2 And maybe the sims 2.

I am 13, and those games did i play last year. IMO, blood sux, but in some games you don't really notice it, and it's more the gameplay that makes the game good: GTA.

IMO, first person shooters are redundant and getting very old. Sure, they add the little features here and there the make it a "whole new game", but when it's all said and done, you have a crowbar/chainsaw/shield gun, a pistol, shotgun, machine/chain gun, plasma/energy gun, a BFG of some type, a rocket launcher....you get the idea.

That being said, of course I'm going to be all over Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and Battlefield 2 when they come out

The games I really enjoy are called Real Time Simulation games (these are the games that allow you to create bases and an army of -things- and watch them duke it out). While these are getting old and redundant as well, I have to admit that I think Warcraft III is awesome. I've been playing that steadily for months, which is the true test of a game. I've heard Rome: Total War is a pretty stinking good game as well.

Swallace, I recommend checking out an RTS game like Warcraft III. You'll be able to play against your son for hours and spend the next few hours gloating over each other. It'll be a lot of fun for both of you.

Jeff...

That sounds cool. He would enjoy that. I especially like the working together thing.

I remember, many moons ago, a game called Populous, which gave you awesome god-like powers over beings that grew and flourished. Sounds like Microsoft's Age of Empires is like that.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. He'll love it.
