Recommend me a game to rent/buy.

[Caruso329]

I'm looking for a new game to burn some time. I own all 3 systems and a decent gaming PC, so there are no system restrictions. I'm mainly looking for something that I can rent (possibly buy if PC) and enjoy for a few days and then possibly buy if it's worthwhile.

Here are the types of games I enjoy with examples:
RPGs (Final Fantasy)
Strategy (Civilization)
RTS (Starcraft)
Simulations (Sim City)
Side scrollers (Mario)
FPS (Halo)

My latest purchase was Halo 2. If I already own the game I will let you know. So we're looking for an XBOX, Gamecube, PS2 (my least favorite), or PC game.

Do you not have MarioKart and Zelda for the Cube? Star Wars Rebel Strike and Bond Everything or Nothing are also good. Also, for an old-school scroller, you can get the Megaman Anniversary Collection - it has all the Megaman games (but I don't like how they set up the controls and you can't change it).

Knights of the Old Republic is a great game. Buy the original or the sequel.

Almost beat Zelda and played Double Dash. Also, I almost beat KOTOR and my hard drive got wiped, so no more on that.

I'd recommend both World of WarCraft and WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne for PC games.

anything but an mmorpg

I've got WC3 but not FT. Is the expansion that good? Also what's the monthly fee on WoW and is there a trial period offered?

Ever play Call of Duty for PC?
The Age of Empires series is also pretty good.

Resident Evil 4

Never played Call of Duty, might look into that one. Age of Empires 2 I use to play in my IT class in high school with my other buddies over the LAN. Ahhh...good times.

Not a fan of the Resident Evil series and my roommate has #4 also.
