Writes 'Voodoo Extreme has up a story called. They call out some of the best games released in the Windows XP era, to mark the passing into the 'next generation' of PC gaming this past week. Some favorites include Call of Duty, Unreal Tournament 2004, Civilization IV, World of Warcraft and other titles that helped shape the era.' Any titles you see missing from the list?

The XP years were truly great, as far as PC titles went; how long do you think it will be before Vista has enough market penetration to make a difference in gaming? I think I've played three games on that list: Halo, Warcraft III and NWN. Halo was fun. The latter two were dropped within hours, since watching paint dry was more entertaining.

Coincidentally, I think the reason was similar in both cases: when you've played the BG series with a party of six, and RTS games with armies of hundreds of units, somehow you+henchman or 'armies' with only a handful of units just don't seem spectacular or varied enough as drop-in replacements. You could certainly have games. Thoughts on each of these in turn: 20) Rise of Nations - yeah, ok, this seems fair enough.

It's a nice concept and still a fun game to play. I may even have moved it a little higher up the list.

Graphics are dated quite badly now, so a sequel wouldn't go amiss. 19) Halo - w. sure, the Xbox version was great, even if its own sequel does comprehensively out-shine it, but the PC version always felt like a nasty hack at best. 18) Rome: Total War - reasonable pick and probably in about the right place on the list.

Very solid game. 17) Unreal Tournament 2004 - this made me go 'hmm' at first, but on balance, I think I could live with this here. It was definitely the best iterration of the series. I'm not quite sure how TFA manages to claim the original is better. 16) Medal of Honour Allied Assault - I guess you have to include one of the WW2 shooters and I guess this one is the obvious candidate. If this were the only one on the list, I could have been perfectly happy.

Unfortunately, if you look further down. 15) Neverwinter Nights - ooooh, tricky one.

On the one hand, the game as released, straight out of box, is pretty damned poor, with an original campaign that falls waaaaay short of the usual Bioware standards. The sequel is massively better in this respect. However, I will grant you that, with two solid expansions and a huge mass of mods available, NWN has grown way beyond what originally came out of the box. 14) Max Payne 2 - Can be completed in about 4-6 hours by an average player and has no replay value. 13) Command and Conquer: Generals - Oh god no.

Command and Conquer with a slight graphical facelift, but none of the production values that made the very early installments in the series great. Gameplay that was outdated compared to other RTSes even at release. 12) Guild Wars - not played it, so can't really comment. 11) Civilisation IV - frankly, the Civ games have never done it for me. However, I will grant that they do seem to push the requisite buttons for an awful lot of people, so happy to let this one stand.

10) Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos - yeah, good pick. Probably the best of the small-scale RTSes from the XP era. I'm mystified as to why the article says the controls were tricky, though. They were basically the same as any other RTS around, if not slightly better due to the decent hotkeys system.

9) Doom 3: Yep, decent pick. I know a lot of people found fault with it, but this game scared the living shit out of me (at least for the first half of the game). I'd probably have put this in the bottom end of the list, though, given the lack of variety.

I actually felt Quake 4 was better, so may just have substituted that altogether. 8) F.E.A.R: again, a decent pick just on account of atmosphere. Plus the graphics were beautiful and the AI probably the best we've seen in an fps. 7) Company of Heroes: Hmm. Personally, I'd have substituted Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War for this, though. They're basically the same game underneath but, particularly with the expansions, I find Dawn of War slightly deeper. Still, there's no denying that Company of Heroes is very, very pretty.

6) Battlefield 1942: Yes, I'd probably go along with this, on the proviso that all of the sequels and expansion packs are excluded. BF2 in particular was an utter crock. 5)Knights of the Old Republic: Yes, definitely. Proof that Lucas should have let Bioware write Episodes 1-3. 4) Call of Duty: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO.

What the fuck is it with this game? Why the hell do it and its sequels continue to attact such plaudits. An inferior, dumbed down Medal of Honour clone which brought nothing new to the genre at all. On a related note, why do all these countless WW2 fpses only feature battles from the second half of WW2 which the Allies won (oh, and Pearl Harbour). I grow tired of the 'inevitable march to victory' feel of these games and feel that it actually fails to do history justice. Oblivion better on 360?

You have got to be kidding me. Especially considering the reason you give. The 360 version has massive control related issues. The resolution is a huge problem.

And the kicker: Show Stopper Bugs. How can you possibly state that the bugs present in the PC version are a bigger problem than those on the 360? With the 360, you hit one of those bugs, and your game is over. And there are a LOT of these bugs.

On the PC: a) patches. Patches fix bugs.

Bugs go away. Gameplay gets better.

Console fixes or allows one to work around bugs and carry on with your game. Mods are what make Oblivion really shine. You are the very first person I have run across that actually prefers the 360 version. That statement alone suggests I should take every game related statement of yours with a large dose of salt. The PC version doesn't just have bugs, it has huge, system-crashing bugs. The kind of system crashing bugs that I've never actually seen any other game manage under xp.

I've replicated these bugs myself, under common conditions, on two of my own PCs, neither of which have stability problems in any other games I've thrown at them. I don't actually know anybody from among my series of friends who actually has the PC version running stably for protracted periods. The 360 version. There may be mino. 19) Halo - w.

sure, the Xbox version was great, even if its own sequel does comprehensively out-shine it, but the PC version always felt like a nasty hack at best. Disaster on the pc until the hardware caught up, but still left a lot to be desierd. 17) Unreal Tournament 2004 - this made me go 'hmm' at first, but on balance, I think I could live with this here. It was definitely the best iterration of the series. I'm not quite sure how TFA manages to claim the original is better.

There's also the element of atmosphere it provides: If Gordon never talks, and you never leave the first-person perspective, you can go on believing that it's happening to you, not Gordon - that you are Gordon Freeman. I hear this all the time, but I'd prefer the main charactor speak because I am not going to be able to pretend a video game charactor is me. I am not a resistance fighter, a PhD, or whatever other traits a character might have (a video game about me would be rather boring) and adding 'not s. I love your signature.

Also, there is a counterargument beyond that: In Jak & Daxter, Jak never said a word, it was always Daxter making the odd comments and Jak making facial expressions mostly along the lines of 'whatever'. In Jak II, Daxter is pretty much the same, but Jak does speak, and his first words are not at all a disappointment. Yet, one big difference is that Half-Life 2 is an FPS - first person. Your logic is fine, but I don't even make it that conscious - the 'not speaking' is rarely mad. OK then, this would be my list for the top ten WinXP games, in alphabetical order.

Judging from comments here, I think this list is fairly representative, though with a couple of extra contributions of my own -. Civ 4. Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Far Cry. FEAR. GTA 3 plus sequels.

Half-Life 2 plus mods. KotOR 1. NWN 1 plus mods. ScummVM (OK, this one's kind of cheating). UT2k4 (I made up a list for 11-20 as well, with things like Psychonauts, Beyond Good and Evil, and Escape Velocity Nova, but I figured they were.

I don't know about Linux, but more than half those titles are available for Macintosh, actually: 20) Rise of Nations 19) Halo: Combat Evolved 17) Unreal Tournament 2004 16) Medal of Honor Allied Assault 15) Neverwinter Nights 13) Command & Conquer: Generals 11) Civilization IV 10) Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos 09) Doom 3 06) Battlefield 1942 05) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 04) Call of Duty 01) World of Warcraft So, thirteen of the twenty are available for the Mac, I'm surprised and pleased to say. If only I had more money and time for games. These are the ones I know: 17) Unreal Tournament 2004 - ships with a working Linux installer. My brother has found an insane number of mods for this game, and was up to some 20 gigs of space for just that game and its mods before we both migrated away from that Linux install - me to another computer, him to a new hard drive and Windows. Surprisingly, when I installed and fully patched the Linux version last week, it has a native 64-bit binary. 15) Neverwinter Nights - Never played the game, but it does see.

The PC version of Halo was a lot of fun. The controls were just like any other FPS and the graphics were on par with other games made in that same year. My friends and I enjoyed playing Halo after ut2k4 became a bore and, in my opinion, it has a lot of great multiplayer maps (Blood Glutch, Sidewinder, and Death Island to name a few).

There were many game types and had a decent number of hacks/mods to make the game interesting for quite a long time. If this list came out a few years ago, I would be shock. 'Maybe you're right. Maybe the XBox just sucks. ' No he's wrong, the PC port sucks ass, the graphics (for some reason) played like crap (on a Geforce4 compared to the Xbox's Geforce2), the mouse control was incredibly slow even with acceleration and set to level 10, this combined with the overall boring gameplay (why were all of the levels identical within a 'chapter'?) made a truely craptasic game. The multiplayer wasn't even that inspiring, Quake/Doom/UT style gamplay with crappy weapons (spray 'cone' physi.

A highly repetitive game that features midget aliens that ran around like toddlers on cocaine? A dark future where the elite special forces get issues crap guns by default?

Sure, it was an exception FPS for consoles, but that has more to do with the high level of suck of FPSs on consoles. A single trick pony, not that 'sucks that in the future we'll forget how to attach lights to guns' is much of a pony to start with.

It's gorgeous, but it's a crappy game. Game design has moved on since the original Doom. It's not that there aren't better games. Where is Far Cry, which blew Halo's outdoor scenes away (It jumps the shark midway through, but there is still a lot of great gameplay)? How about Quake 4, which took Doom 3's amazing technology and coupled it with rock solid gameplay (and features the radical idea that a future military might issue its troops useful assault rifles!). Return to Castle Wolfenstein? 20 - Rise of Nations.

I really liked the nukes. It was great on the XBOX but not a good FPS by PC standards. 18 - Rom Total War. Why this version? All of them were really good. Sequels should be disqualified.

16 - MoH Allied Assault. I really hated the way the game cutscened a lot.

And the fact that it forced a tutorial sucked. Great game and very modable. Still play this after, what, 5 years.

14 - Max Payne. Loved bullet time. 13 - C&C Generals.

Never played it. 12 - Guild Wars. MMO without fees. After Civ3, I was really not willing to buy another Civ game.

I still play Alpha Centuari though. 10 - Warcraft 3. Not a big fan of RTS. Never tried it.

Never played it. Duct tape mod really showed how dumb game designers are. And WTF with batteries that last 10 seconds? Stupid name but great game.

The demo gave away almost all the scary parts though. Bullet time and the nail gun was awesome. 7 - Company of Heroes. Very fun for a RTS.

Still, never played it more than a few hours. Played the shit out of this at LAN parties.

Once Desert Combat was out, played the shit out of it again. The follow-ups sucked bad though. Another port from XBOX. Loved the moddable lightsaber. 4 - Call of Duty. I was really burned out on WW2 games at this point. God, can we get another war?

3 - Oblivion. Something about a first-person RPG just sucks. After 10 minutes of not knowing where the last rat was, I gave up and uninstalled it. 2 - Half-Life 2. I guess it was OK. I only bought it because of CS:S 1 - WoW. This game is a lot of fun and very social.

Most of my friends play this to extremes. Once I got high-level, I quit. I don't have time to do the same 6+ hour crawl 20 times to get the uber sword of pwnage. I really loved the fact that I get credit for.not.

playing. Makes leveling much easier. So, where was X2 or X3? Both were lots of fun. How about GalCiv or GalCiv2?

Empire at War was a blast as was Hero Quest. Flight simulators (all sims really) were missing. GTR, Falcon Allied Force, Flight Sim X, LOMAC, and IL2 were a ton of fun. As was Silent Hunter 3. Realistic sims are, for me, what really keeps me updating my PC. Everything else can be duplicated on a console. The first time you complete the ramp start in Falcon, you'll know the PC is king.

I don't think that C&C gets enough recognition in the RTS genre. It's my favourite series, and I really don't get why more people don't like like it. My biggest problem with most of the other ones are too many resources. In C&C you had tiberium, and that's all you had to collect. In Warcraft 2, you had wood, gold, and oil, and you need varying amounts of each for building units. Then there's games like starcraft where you have to constantly click around your base figuring out which buidlings you can finally upgrade, and which ones you can start doing research on.

On C&C everything could be controlled on the right hand part of your screen. No reason to click on your barracks to build a soldier, or you factory to build a jeep. Yah, I know those are old games now, but damn I have had a lot of fun playing them.

I enjoyed Space Rangers 2 also.I guess I enjoy RTS/RPG games. Call of Duty/COD2 were not bad, either, but I did not burn myself out on WWII games. I also noticed that Warhammer 40k is not included which is too bad, I thought that was a lot of fun. How much repeat playability/moddability does a game have to have to be considered a classic?

Maybe to be fair to this list we can have a comprehensive list made that shows g. It seems like with Windows, you can choose either crashes (9x) or viruses (nt/2k/xp). I much prefer crashes, especially since I only use Windows for games nowadays (when I have time). XP is pretty good about not having viruses or worms if you apply the proper precautions, the first of which is turning on a firewall (default in SP2) and only opening ports when you absolutely have to.

And if you don't download sketchy software or mount sketchy disks. I run XP semi-frequently directly on the public Interne.

On a wild shot, because the games that are most innovative normally have some rough edges fixed in a sequel? Civilization 4 for example is an iterative development going all the way back to Civilization long, long time ago and while hardly revolutionary in any way it's a damn good and polished TBS game. I was tired of C&C Generals before it even got out, but I know it was better than the C&Cs I played. Warcraft III was also a really well made game. Loved Oblivion, except it brought my hardware to it. Of them involves violence and combat?

Most video games do, particularly high-budget games which are likely to win awards. It's difficult to add depth to puzzle/card/city-builder games (though there have been some notable exceptions), so most high-budget games are those which simulate 'reality' (either our world or a fantasy world). Once you've done that, the question becomes: what do you do in this dream world? The answer is simple: you do something you can't do in the real world. You fight an alien invasion, become a special agent, complete mythical quests, engage in futuristic arena combat, steal cars, or build an empire.

Non-violent games generally fall into a few categories: sports (Madden is one of the top selling games, year after year), racing (GT3 is the best selling PS2 game), card/casino (Hold 'Em is insanely popular online, and Solitare is the most distributed and played video game ever), builder/tycoon, and puzzle. Sports games don't do well on PCs. They play better with controllers and on a big screen with friends.

Racing games - ditto - few have a wheel, and no one wants to play a racing game with a keyboard. Card/casino and puzzle games are unlikely to make a Top 20 list (not that they are bad, they just aren't typically deep big-budget titles). As for builder/tycoon games, there have been some standout titles (Sim City, for one), but there hasn't been anything spectacular in the last 5 years - mostly just sequels and rehashes. So, what does that leave? RTS, FPS, RPG, and MMO games.

They almost always involve at least a minimal amount of violence. We did leave one insanely popular PC game out, though.

The Sims is the best-selling PC title of all time, and it isn't really violent at all. Allow me to name a few types of games that don't involve shooting and/or killing.

Sports: This includes about 80 hojillion subgenres like golf, tennis, football, the other football (I'll let the reader determine which they want to think is 'the other' one), baseball, basketball, and many more, along with hybrid genre-hoppers like golf course builders and simulations, and more recently, there's been a coaching-only NFL-style football game. I guess you still 'shoot' in a basketball game, though. Sims: With. Don't forget MTA:SA Race and the upcoming MTA Deathmatch. I think when MTA:SA DM and when SA-MP 0.2 will come out (I think they'll both be released at about the same time, which should be no later than next summer) I think MTA will show more potential and quality than SA-MP. At least for now SA-MP is the only one that allows us to get out of our cars, in spite of its numerous bugs and it's advancement far under MTA DM's current betas (but hey, they're not releasing it until the editor's done.).

Generation XP: Top 20 Games of the Last Generation Given there's one DX-10 card line out there - nVidia's - and they're slashdot.org. Given that creative.com. Given that the best known technical name in the gaming industry says slashdot.org Can you really call the most current generation that actually works 'Last Generation'? As things stand, I was under the impression that all Vista does for gaming is disable features you have under XP.

And give you a couple of exciting menus for games and game specs. MOH:AA is a truely excellent multiplayer game, no doubt about it. Shame hardly anyone plays it any more. Back in the day, you could log on and have a really excellent game.

Plenty of people on there, good ping times etc. Now, there are far fewer players, and far more of them are part of a clan which means there is little chance of them working with you. I suppose that was one of the best elements. There are plenty of multiplayer shooters, but few managed to get people to co-operate in an ad-hock kind of wa. I'm finding something odd that 13 of the 20 'great' games are basically first person shooters and none of them are from small companies.

This is like a review of beverages that argues between coke and pepsi, or musical talent that's really concerned about whether Britney or Christina are better. Not that some of these aren't good games, but he doesn't even show any variation in taste in the FPS games - he's got, what, four FPS's about 'Let's go kill the aliens', and Thief or No one lives forever didn't make the list? I'm sorry submitter, but your gene pool license has been revoked - you're no longer allowed to reproduce. Remember, just because we're making you eligible for a Darwin award doesn't mean it.has. to be fatal.

Not if you cooperate. I'd have to add Battle for Middle-Earth to that list. It was Real-Time Strategy like so many others, but it was fun. The individual physics of each troop member made the excitement factor rise over pretty much all the others.

Pci x 2 0. Gigabit Ethernet is certainly not OK, much less dual GbE. PCIe x1 has 250 MB/sec throughput, x4 has 1000 MB/sec max throughput and so on. Do not buy mainboards that have major devices on the 32 bit, 33 MHz PCI bus. However, your southbridge on the board will still have a total throughput limit so you can just add everything together, although PCIe technically share bandwidth.

A troll wading into a group of soldiers and swatting them away; cavalry riding over a troop of orcs, not just flattening them, but bouncing off the horses; the wings of the Nazgul blowing troops aside; and the Balrog exploding from the earth, tossing anything nearby away. Anyone with the dough to buy a system that can run Vista sensibly could use the same money to buy all three of the latest gen consoles, all of the big name titles for each of them, and enough takeaway for several weeks of gaming with the change. I spend £600 on upgrading my current system a year ago, and it'll run Vista just fine. True, I 'only' bought 2 250GB drives, Athlon X2 4400, motherboard, 7800GTX, 2GB of RAM and a 500W PSU, but for another £300 or so I could've thrown in case, monit. Only one MMO on the whole list?

Scary Game Joke

I was going to retort what about Guild Wars with a wikipedia link but. Guild Wars shares many features with massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG). However, it was called a CORPG by its designers to emphasize the differences in its approach to online role-playing compared to other games in the MMORPG genre. Primarily, Guild Wars is one of only a few commercially produced and distributed online role-playing games to eschew subscription fees, instead off.
