i play mostly RTS games (starcraft, diablo 2) and thats about it

my dad likes shooter games all hes got now but hasnt played in a while is half life and doom 3

we havent bought any games in over 4 years and i wanted to know if you guys could help me choose a game for each of us! would my dad like crysis?

 

[flashbulb]

if your dad liked half-life, the second one is an obvious choice.

Pick up the orange box. Between Portals, TF2, and HL2 + Episodes, it should fit a good amount of fun for everyone.

For RTS definitely check out Company of Heroes.

Shooting games: Call of Duty 4 is still a popular online title and Bad Company 2 was just released. The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. FPS games are also great single-player fun.

For a fps fan, Bad Company 2 is a must

I would check out Sins of a Solar Empire. Amazingly fun, large-scale space combat. And of course Starcraft 2 (whenever it comes out) is a must for RTS.

Command and Conquer 3 and Dawn of War are great rts games!

 

[eljitto]

Age of Mythology.

great RTS

I can vouch for the new Command and Conquer 4 game, it's pretty good so far =) Dawn of War and Dawn of War II are also very good. Red Alert 3 is an older game but still worth playing.

And take a look at Torchlight, it is a great dungeon crawler made by the same original developers of Diablo after they left Blizzard. And it's only $20

Age of Empires 3 is a great RTS, Supreme Commander is also good.

Command and Conquer 3 is a good one as well, one of my favorites.
