The following article is a top ten list of the computer video games. The list was derived from gamers whom have come to the site and have rated the computer video games. This top ten list is in no particular order.
Tomb Raider Underworld
Following the franchise’s legendary return to success under the direction of Crystal Dynamics, Underworld aims to maintain the high level of solid, free-flowing action that reinvigorated the series, while bringing back more of the spooky exploration and challenging jumping puzzles that helped define the classic Tomb Raider games of the late ’90s.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Rockstar Games’ cornerstone Grand Theft Auto series returns for a third run through the 128-bit generation, with this violent, mature-themed third-person shooter and mission-based driving game. Like its immediate predecessor, Vice City, San Andreas strives to provide a wide, deep foundation for its free-form criminal gameplay by setting the story in a slightly exaggerated representation of a familiar (if not glorified) American subculture.
The Witcher
Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story collection is brought to digital life in The Witcher, a single-player action RPG starring a monster hunter named Geralt. Players control the silver-haired Geralt in a fantasy world where dwarves, elves, and humans live in bitter seclusion and monsters roam freely.
F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon
F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is an intense combat experience with rich atmosphere and a deeply intense paranormal storyline presented entirely in first person. This first person shooter combines creepy horror with gorgeous visual effects which elevates the game to a new intensity.
Need for Speed Prostreet
Design and tweak your car to perfection, then lay it all on the line in high-speed events around the globe. Battle your newly designed car in four distinct racing styles- grip, drag, drift and the all-new speed challenge.
Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3
Probably two of the best real time strategy based PC games on the market. They also can give you a back story on World of Warcraft one of the best online multiple player real time strategy based game on the market. Hours upon hours of fun can be found with the Warcraft series.
Farcry
Farcry is based in a tropical paradise that seethes with hidden evil, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels. Far Cry runs on developer Crytek Studios’ own CryENGINE, which features unpredictable enemies that use group tactics to make the main character’s job more difficult.
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War
Visit a dark, distant, gothic future and take real-time command of powerful armies to wage intense, tactical battles in the name of freedom or justice. Following Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, this is the second game based on the franchise to be published by THQ. Like all Warhammer 40,000 games, Dawn of War is set in the futuristic fantasy universe of Game Workshop’s tabletop war game, which first became popular in the late 1980s.
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2 offers 50 plus hours of game play, it has a full feature toolset for creating more realistic characters. It is probably the most authentic representation of a Dungeons and Dragons game that you will find for a computer video game.
Medieval II Total War Limitied Edition
Medieval II is the latest and greatest game to be released in the best selling and award-winning Total War series. Set in the years 1080-1530 the most turbulent period in European history, the game combines a vast, deep-thinking turn-based strategy campaign with the most cinematic, epic and brutal real-time battles ever seen in the genre.
So which computer video games are the best? You decide, if you love first person shooters, F.E.A.R. is a good choice. For an Action Adventure game, Tomb Raider Underworld is a good choice. For real time strategy based games, Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 are good choices. Need for Speed Prostreet would be the pick if you are big into racing. Neverwinter Nights 2 would be a good choice for a pure Role Playing Game experience. There is no decisive winner, they are great computer video games, if you have not played them then I suggest giving them a shot.
