Starcraft is, in my opinion, the greatest PC game ever made. F.E.A.R. has seated itself a very close second. I may be inclined to play through the single-player game again, simply because it scared the holy hell out of me, but also because the AI, the realism, was all just so amazing. If you played the demo and didn't give it a second thought, then you're right, maybe it's not for you. It was the demo that forced me to my local game store to buy it. I've been thinking ES: Oblivion, but I'm a new dad and I really don't have the time to put into a game like that. MMORPG's fall into that category for me as well. I'd love to sit down with Guild Wars, WOW, or the upcoming LOTR:Online, but it's just not in the cards. I need instant action. I guess I'll go buy NASCAR 2005, BF2 or pull out my old Brood Wars disc and rekindle the fire. I have been dabbling in America's Army, which I have loved since it's release way back in the day. It is still rockin'! Maybe I'll devote my gaming time (which is positioned between 10pm-11pm when my son goes to bed and before I pass out at my desk) to AA:SF.

"Starcraft is, in my opinion, the greatest PC game ever made" Agreed. I mean, I spent more than 1000 dollars on a new pc and heck, I'm still playing starcraft in my old pc. Free

God, I agree. Almost short-circuited my keyboard with sweat whilst playing in the dark... F.E.A.R. is great.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned Doom3. I've played The Fear demo and the graphics were awesome but Doom3 seemed much more intense. Does Fear get that much better and has anyone played both for comparison?

How about also comparing it to Quake 4. Which is more intense? I have only played F.E.A.R. of these three. Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Corsair 512X4 2048mb 2X WD Raptor 74gb 10K 2X 256 6800 GT Raid-0 WinXP Pro X64

I have played Doom 3 and I truly think that F.E.A.R. crushed it in just about every category, except for the dark corridor, scary monster routine. The realism of F.E.A.R. far surpasses Doom 3 and the AI was like nothing I've ever seen. I haven't played Quake 4, but I've never really been much of a Quake guy to begin with. I pulled out all my old PC Gamers last night to see what I should be expecting in the near future and this is what I found (note: mostly FPS, but I'm willing to look elsewhere): Sin: Episodes Prey Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter Timeshift - - played demo and wasn't impressed at all! Half-Life 2: Aftermath - -but I don't even own Half-Life 2 Galactic Civilizations X3 Hitman: Blood Money I like sports games, but there really aren't that many out there for the PC. EA has pretty much turned a blind-eye since 2005 (i.e. no baseball games, Madden sucked, etc.). I've read some good things about Nascar SimRacing, but I've also read where Nascar 2003 still blows it away. I NEED MY FIX MAN! I'VE BEEN SUBJECTING MYSELF TO STARCRAFT FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS, IT'S GREAT BUT THE SERVERS ARE FLIPPIN' DEAD NOW AND MOST OF THE GAMES ARE "USE MAP SETTINGS" LAME ASS GAMES! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

my suggestion if u love starcraft is to give Dawn of War a try. its a kickass RTS game. and if ur more of a FPS gamer then id suggest call of duty 2. and if ur more of a TPS gamer id suggest the max payne series or the serious sam games. Zo

If you;re looking for SC servers, the game is still very much alive in some countries like Korea. Try a different portal. Apparently in South Korea their high schools have Starcraft teams!! I mean, if I got school credit from playing Starcraft I'd be a friggin' keener! Korea's weird for computer games, though. They're so big there, that they have rehab clinics tailored specifically for PC game addicts. Also, some guy played Starcraft for 79 hours straight (!!) and died of massive heart failure. 79 hours straight?? How is this possible?? I mean, SC is a good game, but how long in one sitting can you watch newbs get owned by Battlecruiser rushes, or watching nobody ever build Ultralisks, ever?

Skyfear...thats interesting stuff since I live in China most of the year. Maybe I can connect to a server in Korea. If you're FPS online, BF2 ROCKS!! I've been playing COD2 it also rocks but I cannot play it online right now. Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Corsair 512X4 2048mb 2X WD Raptor 74gb 10K 2X 256 6800 GT Raid-0 WinXP Pro X64

haven't u guys tried GTA San Andreas?

No. Isn't that a driving game. I'm not too interested in those types of games. But I heard it was a good game by many. Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Corsair 512X4 2048mb 2X WD Raptor 74gb 10K 2X 256 6800 GT Raid-0 WinXP Pro X64
