I'm a big 1st/3rd person-shooter fan as long as the game is worthwhile. Until such time as Theif III amd the Max Payne sequels come out, I'm looking for something that provdes a moderate amount of challenge without being mind-numbingly difficult.

I've already bought:
- all of the Rainbow Six series, including Raven Shield
- Ghost Recon
- All of the Unreal games (including Tournament, Tournament 2003, and Unreal II)
- Thief I and II
- Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein
- Max Payne
- Splinter Cell
- Half-Life: Blue Shift/Opposing Force

I've also played:
- James Bond Nightfire (piece of crap)
- Red Faction 2 (not impressed)
- No One Lives Forever I & II (can't wait for III)

So, I'm looking for a similar PC-based game to waste .. er .. take up my time and fits in with the kind of games that I've listed above. Suggestions?

Soldier of Fortune II.

I would highly recommend both Black Hawk Down (a bit more arcade and less realism) or Vietcong which does suffer from some technical problems but has some of the best atmosphere in a shooter since Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Both are highly worth a purchase for thier single player games as well some great multiplayer fun.

Did they ever fix that massive "The terrorist still can see you even though he is looking in the totally opposite direction" bug? I almost bought that until I heard about that problem. I really wanted to b*tch-slap the programmers and QC people for that one.

??? I can't say that I've ever heard of it. I should never have let my PC Gamer subscription lapse.

Is there a release date yet for IGI 2?

IGI2 has been out for quite awhile.

How about GTA: Vice City?

Be prepared to die a lot in Black Hawk Down. Also, the AI sucks. I also would recommend SOF 2 for just flat out carnage. It's easily the most violent game I've played. Online play really kicks ass too. About that bug you mentioned; I guess I never really noticed it as I used cheat codes, but the game is definitely hard in some spots and the enemies do shoot at you if they even hear a mouse fart, hence the codes.

I've had SOF2 since it came out but won't really be able to play the single player until I get my new computer. But, the little I've played, I don't like it. I'm a big Raven fan, and I liked the first SOF quite a bit. But, when I shoot a full clip from the grease gun into a guy's chest at point range and he doesn't die, something's wrong. Also, the scripting seems kind of bad. I'm supposed to be on a secret mission, yet these soldiers kick open the door of a shipping crate to attack me? Why were they in there to begin with? Annoying.

But, the online play is awesome. I still play it just about every night. It's probably the most fun I've had online.

Shouldn't his head have popped off and his intestines spilled out?

Mafia, I love that game and I highly recommend it! It is the only game I know I'll end up playing through again, which I never do with games.
