Holiday Computer (PC) Video Game Gift Ideas: Games
Oblivion
Playing Oblivion is like taking part in an interactive movie. The production value alone is worth experiencing the game, yet the content and mechanics make it an entirely fulfilling experience. The weather changes, computer-controlled characters have their own lives, and to top it all off, Patrick Stewart leads the voice acting cast as the dying Emperor. Any role playing fan will love this immersive game.
Call of Juarez
This little-known game is set to cause a huge storm in December for its North American release. Already out in Europe, Call of Juarez is a Wild West-themed first person adventure/shooter where you control two unique characters on opposing quests: one is the hunter, the other the hunted. The authentic old west atmosphere is absolutely unbeatable and the game emphasizes gameplay over run-and-gun shooting (though it has plenty of that too). A fantastic game that will delight almost any PC gamer on your shopping list this 2006 holiday season.
Gothic 3
This epic role-playing game is set in an enormous sprawling fantasy world where you, the player, literally create your own story. Take on the role of a nameless character and forge alliances with whomever you like -- the downtrodden humans, the conquering Orcs, or even the traitorous merchants. It's an absolutely astounding game that's as open-ended as it is beautiful. Perfect for anyone with a lot of time on their hands and a hankering for good, deep gameplay.
Half Life 2: Episode One
The mega-popular PC first person shooter has gone episodic with the first of three installments hitting store shelves this year. Valve packed all the intense action and breathtaking storytelling into a shorter game, creating a pick-up-and-play title that's both inexpensive and fulfilling. It's science fiction adventuring and action at its best.
Prey
Although it was announced nearly a decade ago, Prey finally found its way to the PC computer. The first person shooter features a young native American fighting to save his family from a grotesque alien race who have kidnapped them. Take charge of a number of unique weapons and stare in awe as you reverse gravity and travel through rips in space-time to fight the fiends. A heart-thumping experience from beginning to end.
World of Warcraft
Warning: buying this game could result in a loss of friendship. World of Warcraft, the massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG), is well-known for taking a gamer's free time and sucking it down into an endless tube. Many players are so enthralled by the continuously changing world that they log dozens of hours each week exploring and advancing their character. It's the gaming world's new addiction, so buy it with care!
