Just bought my first 'proper' gaming PC and I am looking for recommendations for good games to play.
PC. Acer predator G3 i7 with Nvidia GTX670, 12Gb ram, 1TB HDD.
Torchlight/Torchlight 2 are a must but looking for other games like these.

Though Diablo 3 is an obvious one if you want something like Torchlight and it's not as bad as some people say, it's great fun when playing with friends.
My current playlist on PC is:
Borderlands 2
Sanctum 2
Games I keep going back to just for fun:
Orcs must die and Orcs must die 2 (must buy)
Diablo 3
Battlefield 2
Counter Strike GO
Left 4 Dead 2
PC game you must play (some are old)
Half Life 1 and 2 (+all DLC for 2)
Bioshock 1 and Infinite (not so much 2 unless you get it real cheap)
MMO’s worth looking at:
EvE online (though it will take a very long time to get into this)
Guild Wars 2 (Free to play)
World of Warcraft (obvious)
There are just so many, plus other styles such as the MOBA's that everyone seems to be talking about, also XCOM (certainly download STEAM and take a look).
Yeah thanks for that. I just bought the Alan wake franchise. Steam have some excellent deals going, so much cheaper than gaming on xbox360
Bought The Alan Wake humble bundle on Friday... must get round to playing it more.. it is rather good in terms of atmosphere even if the whole torch as a weapon is a bit silly
Best purchase I have got off Steam was all ten Tomb Raider games for £45, the new one is pretty good but I've enjoyed playing the original the most
Check out https://www.humblebundle.com/ for games where you pay whatever you like, as long as it is over $1.
There is www.gog.com if you like older games.
Amazon, Gamersgate and green man gaming all pretty much match or beat Steam for pricing, although Steam this past month has dropped the prices on alot of games.
Finally, if you want to buy some games, wait around a month for the Summer Sales for GOG and Steam. The accepted 'sweetspot' for discounts for a game on Steam is 75%, sometimes you get a 90% like Alan Wake but they are rare.
Dunno how good those specs r but its the best I could afford and Yeah I'll def check that game out thanks.
High end have fun
you have good specs, i7 and GTX 670 is right up there.
Yeah thanks for that
Speaking of which...
Dungeon Siege Trilogy £3.74 till 6pm
Hopefully you will be one of many coverts to the Steam model.
People bitch and whine about DRM and the potential loss of second hand games, but when you compare that to sales Steam have every single day there really isn't much to moan about. Plus the developer gets the majority of the cash!
oh Yeah i'm fast becoming a PC gaming fan. Steam have some fantastic deals going on. I always wanted to try gaming on PC and now that I am, there's no going back for me.
Halleluiah... another convert!
Don't you think you should have a Steam profile though?
Team Fortress 2 is free to play and relies on micro transactions and there are also a whole host of free or cheap indie games which offer a far greater gaming experience than just Call of Duty and Fifa. There really is something for everyone.
We already hook the big screen TV to the computer so I'm unsure what diffrence that would make!
set one up when I bought my PC
You do, but many other don't, myself being one of them.
I'm a PC user and I like the keyboard and the mouse (I play MMO's), and it doesn't feel right using those whilst slouched on a sofa. A lot of console users think PC gaming is all about the keyboard and mouse, which it isn't. The Steam Box will show these people that PC gaming can be done on big screens and still with gamepads for a wide variety of games.
Not only that but the games will be cheaper and there will be no pre-owned market.
Yeah same here. I use a Samsung 55" LED/3D
