Forums - PC - What PC games should I get?

CatFangs806 on 27 July 2009

Some of you may remember a thread I made earlier about getting an Alienware laptop off my uncle. I know it's a couple years old, but the computer seems to fit most games requirements, so now I'm wondering what games should I get? I'll post my specs below so you can recommend me some games that will run on it.

OS: Windows XP

CPU: Pentium 4  3.4 GHZ

RAM: 2.75 GB

Video Card: 256 MB

GPU: Nvidia Geforce 6800 Go Ultra

 

The graphics card may need an update soon, but I'm happy with the computer, so do you guys have any game suggestions for me? I would like to play Halo 2 on it, but I need the shit OS known as Vista to play it, and I hate Vista.

Don't do it, it's a trap. UT3 is a steaming pile of crap and a grand example how something great on consoles is shit on PCs.


Buy UT2004.

Battlefield heroes (it's free) and I could suggest a whole list of games, but you'd need a better computer to play these games.

At the very least replace your gpu asap.

If you like Heroes of Might and Magic, you can try Heroes of Might and Magic 5 or King's Bounty.

If you like online FPSes... Buy Team Fortress 2 NAO!

Before you by any games. Make sure you meet the requirement. You don't want a lag fest. 6800ultra is an old school card. Might play new games on low settings. but you can find it for yourself here....
