    Lets say the most recent PC game I've played is Half-Life 2. It's not strictly true, but its not far off either. I'm out of touch.

    What games from the last 4 years MUST I play.

    I would throw a vote in for Fallout 3 as well, but the rest of the list sounds great.

    Crysis (& Crysis Warhead).

    COD4 is **** IMO.

    GTA IV if you don't have a Xbox 360.

    All the HL2 expansions obviously. :)

    i have to say i'm almost jealous that you have all these amazing games yet to play!

    try oblivion or fallout 3, whichever setting appeals to you most really. they're both built by the same people on the same engine.

    Don't you ever miss that feeling off first playing a game and discovering things, just going wow at stuff, it's not the same as you play through the game for a second or third time :waah:

    edit: as for games: Test Drive Unlimited

    Orange Box + Left4Dead
    Crysis (Warhead is .. ok)
    World In Conflict
    Race Driver: GRID
    Burnout Paradise (it's not absolutely necessary though)
    Oblivion/Fallout 3
    COD4 (don't bother with 5)
    And if you have any time left after all that, Bioshock + Mirror's Edge.
    If any time after that, get a second-hand copy of Spore (it's worth a look at least).

    PC gaming pretty much died over the last four years. This thread is useless
