I played counterstrike, starcraft, and fifa online 2.

Please recommend me some games that I can play on my free time.

If you can convince me to get back on one of the three I mentioned above, by all means.

Although I'm I don't have a capable PC rig anymore I used to game on PC and am jealous of those that do.  If I did, I would totally be playing Civilzation V, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, or Dungeon Defenders to name a few.  Some of those I play on my console but the graphics would just look awesome on PC and I do think there's something special about playing a shooter on a PC... not necessarily better or worse than consoles but I do feel like the mouse allows more precision aiming.

Diablo 3 will come out in a few months. Star Wars the old republic is a great MMO.

FPS wise Battlefield 3 is awesome.

Kyle got RPGish games covered

Diablo 3; which I pre-ordered CE version through Best Buy and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Unfortunately, neither title is out yet, but SOON

BTW - I read Counter-Strike GO is going to have cross-platform multiplayer, meaning PC and console gamers shooting each other.  According to an article in most recent @Gamer "The details are fuzzy, but Valve insists it's shunning such crutches as autoaim and input lag."  I commend the venture but have a feeling there will unforeseeable exploits that may be detrimental to online gameplay experience.

Anyone else have thoughts?

The cross-play concept for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is officially dead since Valve was too concerned that trying to sustain updates in unison with multiple consoles in addition to the PC/Mac crowd would greatly delay the update process at the detriment to the players.

This is too bad because I was actually looking forward to this feature to pave the way for more cross-play titles between PC and console users.  Although, console players have no chance using a gamepad versus a keyboard/mouse

I'm pretty stoked that the Diablo 3 is finally coming out. I'm probably going to have to quit life and tweak hah

Shoot.  Thanks for clarification seekrtz.

There is never going to be a successful FPS that allows all platforms together. The main reason is because PC aiming/response time is and always will be much better/quicker.

Let alone all the mods that the PC version allows that consoles can't use, I can never see a major company release a truly all platform FPS.

Give Portal and/or Portal 2 a try. Not as fast passed as the games you listed, but they're very funny, first person puzzle games.
