I'm wasting my computer... What games should I get for it??

Post by Frost »

As far as I'm concerned, I have a pretty powerful system, and the only ones to argue would be those with 9700 pros, or those with 3ghz plus machines :) Anyways, its not the best but there is some pretty good power going to waste here.

All that I use my computer for is playing NFS Hot pursuit 2, and 007 Nightfire, and of course looking at pron. ;) Hell yeah thats fun and all, but only playing 2 games gets boring after a while. I need some kick ass demos to download, so I can decide if I want the games or not. What have you guys gotten addicted to latley? I'm into all sorts of games really, but mostly FPS, and racing games.

Heres my system specs if anyones interested:

Some case, with side window, (its black and prety neat)
350 watt psu
Asus A7V8X
XP 2400 (currently at 13x166=2166)
512meg pc3200 running at 333mhz cas 2,3,3,6 (Shitty OCZ! :| )
GeForce 4 Ti 4400 (haven't O/C yet... thinking about it :) )
SB Live
creative 12x DVD
Cendyne 48x16x48x burner
80gig WD HD
19" ViewSonic PF790 (I love this monitor)
Home theatre sys for speakers...

all that matters really.

Thanks all,

Frost

I think I will enjoy the FPS games MORE once I get an adatper to use My GC controller w/my PC.. I just don't like having to use both my mouse and my keyboard at the same time to play my games.. lol.. To much for my little brain to work out.. eGo

Another vote for Splinter Cell... Great gaming and fatty looks to show off what your system can do... :)
