Hey, looking for a new game to tickle my fancy, I have played Crysis Warhead and realy enjoyed it. what games could be recomended with plenty eye candy, im runing sli and a quad core so should manage anything.

Open to most except mmorpg's

like the look of flight sims too
 
Stalker Clear Skies is quite good, but I'm not sure about the storyline. Call of duty 5 is my current favourite, and GTA IV of course. If you want eye - candy, try Far Cry 2.
 
I found dead space rather pretty, runs like a dream on even modest hardware too which is nice.

Farcry 2 is pretty but very much a Marmite game, you seem to either love it or hate it. The majority seem to fall into the hate it category however...
 
Company of heroes maxed out looks amazing and the explosions in world in conflict are sexy.

Also try the fear 2 demo that looks pretty good with the exception of the annoying grainy look.
 
Yeah Farcry 2 is good for graphics but really stale for gameplay. It's really repetitive so I'd advise you to stay away!
 
I have stalker Shaddow or chernobyl but got sereously bored of it. i mite borrow it from my mate first, i know a certian shops selling it for £9.99
Fallout has been catching my eye may see about that,

Never realy been a fan of GTA but then again i havent played it since San andreas and then i was only young

lol does anything currently utalise all 4 cores?

if a game doesn't use all four cores, then the clock speed makes even more difference ;)

Quite a few games I've played recently have used all four cores, eg UT3, Grid

Apps like Photoshop CS4 and dub mod with the x264 codec will actually max out all four cores, I think 96% of all four cores was the max I've seen Photoshop at.

Anyhow, regardless of how many cores the q6600 has, it overclocks easily.. why wouldn't you want to run it faster, especially when you're clambering for more eye candy?

GRiD

Graphically, very very good. And a good game to boot. One of the games of 2008 IMO.

To start off with i just read your name and it didnt look lik count cussy more along the lines of cu..cussy, anyways on with the post.

Grid is an Awesome game,. i need to load it back onto my machine, just did a format and got wrid of it all. im playing grid with the 360 pad, unfortunatley the wireless receiver reeks havock with my Digital headfones.

Dirt 2 is apparently in the pipe line. i need to get into Grid more tho not played much.

What CPU cooler would be recomended for getting 3.2 from a processor? i have stock now and dont fancy spending 30-40 quid id spend up to 30 at a push.

I was always under the impression that it was mostly design programs and photoshop that utalise all cores.

im enjoying the gameplay and the graphics of this game too, its mint climbing high on a rock somewhere and sniping enemies and they cant find you, very satisfying when you blast them with a silence dart in the eye :D
