Other than Marathon, I haven't really been doing much gaming of any kind in the last few years, partly because my old computer was a PPC mac which for gaming purposes pretty much became obsolete years ago, and until now I wasn't able to afford a new computer, and the most recent console I own is a PS2...
Finally got a new machine last week though and I'm looking to get some good games for it. It's a mac, Intel of course, so I can dual boot into Windows as well as Mac OS.
Having not played any for so long I am very out of the loop. The only two games I've gotten for my new setup so far are Bioshock and Skyrim, and I'm loving both of them. Skyrim is a game I had wanted to play ever since I saw ads for it on TV last christmas, even though I am completely new to role-playing type games, and it hasn't disappointed. Bioshock on the other hand is a game that I had heard virtually nothing about but was recommended by a friend, and it is absolutely incredible. I just finished it last night, and I've just ordered Bioshock 2.
One of the reasons I love Bioshock so much I think is that it is so story driven, but not only that, it is a story that explores the kind of existential themes that wouldn't be out of place in my favourite game of all time, Marathon Infinity (interesting that the third Bioshock is going to be called Bioshock Infinite, I wonder if that hints at the influences for the game or even just an homage).
So with that being said, can anyone recommend some good new games to get? Either brand new or from the last couple of years.
Looking for story driven shooters, ideally with a similar amount of thought gone into them as the likes of Infinity and Bioshock (if such a game exists).
Thanks in advance.
