Does anyone know if GTA3 works on windows 10 with a modern PC? I dont want to sink $10 in a game if it wont work.

It should work. Have you tried running in "Compatibility Mode" for Windows XP ?

ELSE, if you are using the retail disk based version of the game, the problem is likely due to MS's Win10 DRM Blocking malware. GTA 2 and 3 both used SafeDisk copy protection.

( Vice City ('02) was released after GTA3 ( '01 ). Vice City and San Andreas both use SecuROM copy protection. But if you bought this game on STEAM, then it should work on Windows 10 OS, IMO.

Doom 3 with config set to manually 1080p lookd great. I havent got far since im just playing getting it to work at anything other than 480p.

DOOM 3 still looks stunning. I've replayed this Game again and again, and it's very addictive as well.

Has anyone tried My Friend Pedro? It looks fun but I heard it's short so I'm waiting for a Steam sale.

I've heard about this game. DSOGaming has been covering articles on this title. I don't play such type of games, but I've read very positive reviews and Feedback for this Game. STEAM reviews are also very positive. I think this game has got potential.

Gameplay looks pretty fun, but sadly I cannot play 2-D, or side scrolling games.

I don't have the answer, lol, but I'm only comfortable with First or third-perspective games. Don't know, but 2D games aren't my taste. By the way, can we use Mouse as well as Keyboard easily in such type of games ?

I once tried tried playing Darkest Dungeon, but after few hours of gaming, I was not feeling that much comfortable with the action/shooting mechanics. 3D games are okay for me.

While I haven't played to many side scrolling games one of my favorites is Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. They remade it for PC as well and is only $3 which is fantastic.

May need to check my Steam wallet when I get home...

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is a pretty OLD PC game. I think there is a free DEMO to try out as well.

Is half-life 2 really worth all of the hype?

BTW, steam refunded my money from GTA3.
From what I remember it was pretty good although that was more then a few few years ago on a old Steam account I can't get back (forgot email/password/etc) but that was on Win7 although I can't imagine it not working on Win10.

What types of games do you like? Maybe we can make a better recommendation?

If you ever played the original Homeworld (RTS) and liked that the remake is really good.

YES.....Without any shadow of a doubt. HL2 is one of the BEST first person shooters ever made for the PC. That's not an exaggeration though. There is hype surrounding it, but it's a very good game.

Great VOICE acting, facial animations, textures, and cool graphics .
 
I haven't played half-life 1 or 2, but I do play TF2 which is based on the same source engine.

I mainly play TF2, doom3 and GTAv nowadays. If its anything like any of these ill enjoy it.
I also like some racing games.

If you liked GTA games then you may want to look into Saints Row, it's similar in gameplay but a bit more over the top but the character creation is pretty good and the newer ones are coop. I have the 3rd & 4th game.
