Does anyone know any great computer/video games? I really enjoyed World of Warcraft.
U&U
Your question was a little vague, as to the type of Computer Games you are interested in. I personally prefer simple, smooth running FPS games with good graphics, and a Mission Editor that allows you to make your own maps, and host them online, giving the host the tools to maintain strict control over enforcing rules and language. While there are many First Person Shooters out there, most are too laggy, lock up frequently, limit the area you can play in, and have complicated controls NOT simple ones.
There are a few exceptions out there, such as those that I host for a couple hours every night with up to 16 players, (MOSTLY Christians). I host Delta Force Land Warrior on even numbered Nights and Delta Force Xtreme on odd numbered nights, starting around 9:00 PM Pacific. Personally, I do think DFLW and DFX are two of the BEST First Person Shooters ever. My site's name on both is: DC's--DM. My game name is: DC-Scout-67.
As I said most of my regulars are older "born again" gamers, and it is not unusual for the chat line part of the game to drift to Bible questions, or Prayer Requests. We play just for the fun of it and the Chat is all part of the fun. I maintain a STRICT "go by the Rules" policy, with zero tolerance.
My rules are simple: No Cheat Codes, No Offensive Language or Names, No Bickering or Name Calling, No Accusing or Whining, and NO ARGUING WITH MY RULES. I have the ability to Punt or BAN violators, and DO NOT HESITATE to do so.
As a result, most of my regulars are on my Site because they like my rules, and enjoy a game without the garbage you have to put up with on most sites. I have even had on several occasions, Parents type and thank me for providing a safe place for kids to play the game. I do make my own maps for both games, and you will find that I have numerous maps, and a wide variety of types of map.
DFLW is a 2001 game, and runs great on just about any PC. DFX is about two years old, and is like a highly updated version of DFLW. DFX has the added features of NUMEROUS armored vehicles you can drive and shoot, including Tanks, Humvees, APCs, Dune Buggies, etc. It also has Helicopters with miniguns, and several armored boats, as well as Dirt Bikes that get some serious air and are a blast to ride. Both games are downloadable from www.novalogic.com, or if you get lucky, you can find them cheaper at a local Computer Game store.
Yes, there are lots of Christian Gamers, and some of us are old timers. I do not subtract from important things to play the game, instead I simply exchanged the two hours that I used to watch TV, for two hours of Computer Games instead.
