FRIGGIN BORED. Going to buy a computer game. What to get?

[KEV1N]

I've recently graduated from the University of California with a degree in Computer Science. I'm working on campus part time while I take some more classes in the summer for personal edification. Therefore I do not have a 9-5 and I'm left rather bored as of now.

I can't remember a time when I've been as bored as I am right now. I'm thinking about going to Fry's to pick up a computer game, but I haven't played computer games in a while and was wondering if there were any recommendations you could make. Old or new, doesn't matter. I really liked the X-Com games back in the day. I don't really like FPS games.

RTS ok? (Warcraft 3, Age of Empires, etc.)

 

[KEV1N]

I was looking at Rise of Nations on Gamespot... it looks way too involved.

I miss X-Com too! Best game ever! I bet that you hate RTS, so if you like turn-based, try the Heroes of Might and Magic series. I recommend HoMM3.

Freecell

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

Command & Conquer: Generals

It kicks major ass.

warcraft 3, or stacraft is still a classic. I dont like fps's either, and max payne is a third person shooter,was one of the best games ive played

 

[Daovonnaex]

Il-2 Sturmovik (and the expansion pack--Il-2 Forgotten Battles). Best WW2 combat flight simulator, bar none.

It's some inside joke on AT that I never got.

Deus Ex

I'm looking at Simcity 4000.. hmm.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Not FPS is to wipe out like 70% of all choices

Maybe a racing game? I have Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 and its pretty fun.

 

[Aves]

Sim City 4, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 or Civilization III.

 

[Ranger X]

Buy Half-Life and download CS

 

[NutBucket]

The Sims: Hot Date

Mafia is a fantastic driving/3rd person shooter. If you liked Max Payne and GTA3, then pick up Mafia.

I'd never seen one either, but I always assumed it was a west coast operation, like Jack in the Box.

Way too many games. Look on IGN or gamespot or something, find a few that are rated pretty high, go to the store, get which ever one of those looks good, and you probably won't be disappointed.
