Good Games to Play on PC

[azeem40]

What are some good shooter, fighting, and racing games I could play on PC?
I will build my own gaming pc soon and I was wondering.
Thanks!

1. Need for Speed Most Wanted - Hands down one of the best arcade-racers out there.

2. Most great fighting games are primarily found on consoles. You should check out some emulators.

3. For a shooter F.E.A.R. Combat. Sierra games released it for FREE! It's old but there's a lively player base.

I play Emulator Games as well. Right now, all I play is Emulators and Runescape, but I want to get into some new games for fighting, shooter, and racing once I get my gaming pc built.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Thank you very much TheFoxyBox! I will be sure to check that out when I wake up.

I have a question. How do you play Console Games on a PC? I have never played a console game on a PC before (except for the handhelds like DS, Game Boy Color, GBA, and GBA SP).

I'm assuming you've been using emulators for cartridge based systems. Those are generally the best to work with. If you want to play console games, which are mostly disc-based with larger file sizes, your best bet is to copy the games that you already own to your new PC.

Don't worry about Xbox since many of those games were also released for Windows.

Again, be moral and only obtain the data from games that you already own.
