Best PC game to play a couple of hours at a time?



Ben,

LoL is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!

I've been hooked on for 2 days now.
 
Long time lurker, first time poster.

I just got spent some affiliate $ and got a new gaming rig with about 20 games. I've worked my way through about 1/2 of them. So far...

FPS
Call of Duty - You can usually log a few multiplayer games
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - The levels last around 30 minutes to 1 hr
Borderlands
Crysis

RTS
Starcraft 2 - Accept no substitutes. Games last 20 minutes usually. 1 hr at most.

DOTA Clones
League of Legends - I second Ben's recommendation. Incredibly deep game. 40 customizable heroes. The "easiest" of the dota clones for n00bs. However be prepared for hostile players if you suck. You need good micro. Twitch & Master Yi are badass. I've uninstalled and installed this game like 3x already...

Racing
Blur - Mario Kart Meets Gran Turismo

DON"T Play Civ5. There is no possible way you will be able to control yourself. I've started games at 11PM and stopped around 2PM the next day, eyes bloodshot, more wasted than after a night of drinking. Oh and that's only 1/2 a game.

If you have a particular genre you like let me know...

Any of the 'Total War' series. Rome is my fave right now. Although Empire Total War looks frigging awesome, my laptop probably wouldn't handle it.
Not too bad to continue a campaign, do a few turns and fight a few battles. Good mix of strategy and epic battle reenactment.

As mentioned with Civilization,you have to be disciplined to avoid the 'just one more turn' thing.

HAHAHAHAHA who're you using for your main char? I use Malphite, good tank, able to burst 1000+ dmg with only armor items, one of the best farmers in the game too so $$! Just don't rage too hard, then the game becomes more stressful than fun.
 
Don't ever play LoL. I have played around 700 LoL-matches and i can tell you that it's a very unhealthy game. This game will seriously make you rage like no other game. The idiots you have to play with, the bugs, the feeders, the games where someone fucks up in the beginning and you can't surrender because you have to wait for 25 minutes. And the worst part is that it's addictive. Really addictive.

Just.. play starcraft 2 instead.

Alright.. time for some LoL.
 
Once you play that many games, the only real choice is to at LEAST 4-person premake... solo Q is almost a guaranteed rage LOL.

What are your guy's names on it? Buddy list!
