That Gordon Freeman is gonna be pissed that someone not only
stole his top-billing, but managed to star in a darn fine game
too. Episode One is a one-player co-op game (AI) which features
an emphasis on action and puzzles, often simultaneously. It's
high difficulty setting will challenge H-L vets, but they probably
wouldn't have it any other way. |

An RPG on the PC? What the - ? Oblivion IV is THE RPG to
play in 2006 and there's a solid gold chance that it will
remain so for a good chunk of 2007. Exploring Avarice without
being forced into doing anything is our idea of a good time.
Oblivion might be a little too "hand-holdy" for
RPG vets, but noobs might appreciate the assistance. At the
very least, Oblivion is accessible to everyone.

In my house, two's company, three's a war! Relic has re-invented
and invigorated the RTS genre with their action-packed Company
of Heroes. Where other strategy games bog down into mind-numbing
details, CoH throws you directly into the chaos for as realistic
a battle as we've seen. Even if you've sworn off this genre,
give CoH a peek. You might be pleasantly surprised. That's an
order, soldier! |

The RTS genre is still alive and well on the PC thanks to
excellent offerings such as Star Wars: Empire At War. Play
as either the Empire or the Rebels and take the fight into
space or wage war across a variety of planets. If you're a
Star Wars fanatic with a penchant for detail and management,
Empire At War will keep you away from girlfriends and dating
for as long as humanly possible!

Guild Wars is the MMO that doesn't charge a monthly subscription
fee and Factions is the expansion released in April 2006.
If you're one of those gamers that doesn't quite understand
MMO's or are worried about having to endlessly level your
character to do anything, Factions just might be the MMO for
you to cut your teeth on.
