[PC] Reccomend-a-Game (and proper spelling)

So, you've played a game that you really like, and you want to find more like it. Use this thread to have somebody reccomend you a game of the same genre/style etc etc.

I really loved Tie "Fighter". The original (I think it was 1995 or 1998.) The gameplay was super. Can anybody reccomend a similar game?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But Tie Fighter wasn't arcade style.

Well I was hoping for something more modern/better graphics, but I will check out Freespace.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've played Deus Ex Invisible war, but I stopped playing part way through. It was alright, but It couldn't compete with the other game I was playing at the time; Half-Life 2.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I preffered Heroes of Might and Magic III, personally.

I was speaking idiomatically.

So are there any other suggestions for a good space sim besides Freespace?

Most amazing jew boots

Yeah, I like UT04 aswell. The engine rocks, and provides endless fun for LAN parties. I'm going to go check out Freelancer.

FELIPE NO

I downloaded Freelancer, but for some reason whenever I try to run the exe I get the windows "error reporting" dialog box".. any suggestions?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Epic bump.

I'm just wondering if there are any good PC games that are similar to Ace Combat, or any flight/combat simulators. I can't get enough of the Jet and Helicopter gameplay in the Battlefield series. Recommendation's?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Now you've made me eying expensive yokes and throttles, damn you!

The devolopers managed to create a world immersive both in its gritty Eastern Europe authenticity, and in its reality distorting special effect set pieces. Certain moments of STALKER will stay in my gaming memory for a long long time to come.

You know, I've heard nothing but good things about this game, so I gave it a try. I wanted to love it. I tried to love it, but I ended up uninstalling it about an hour in. I couldn't fucking stand the completely shitty interface; not necessarily the graphical aspect, but how you interact with the game. IE, not being able to select certain weapons with the scroll wheel, not being able to actually see what weapons are where when you scroll for them. It caused me to run around flipping randomly through weapons until I accidentally landed on the right one. There were other issues to, mostly little things like not being able to disable sprint-lock... trivial I know, but I knew I wouldn't be able to get immersed if I was constantly cussing at the technical things.
