That is, one that I *can* play offline (As in, at least got decent bots), not just games in which the main focus is offline play. I prefer more sci-fi settings, I'm not a huge fan of gore, and things like plasma guns and grappling hooks are always welcome. ;]
Oh, and they have to be PC games. What do you suggest?
I'm currently thinking either Max Payne 2, Far Cry, or a more traditional Quake 3. However, I know very little about any of these (not even sure if MP2 or Far Cry have a PC version), hence this request for suggestions, information, and opinions. |
