First game I should play on my new PC?

[kateriyan]

I am getting the parts for my newest PC soon, what is the first game I should play? I was thinking either Dragon Age, Left for Dead 2, Dawn of War 2, or Arkam Asylum.

 

[neo-omega]

Crysis or fallout 3 maybe?

 

[Fenris]

Arkam Asylum is a good choice.

 

[Ziggy]

Minesweeper.

 

[clippa]

COD multiplayer is always a good way to christen a new rig

 

[Egon]

Minesweeper.

I was going to say this

Definitely so if you have Windows 7

 

[TheMightyTen]

Minesweeper.

+2 No wussy Beginner or Intermediate either, only Expert allowed.

 

[Schizo]

space invaders.

 

[BigRazer93]

Pac man.

 

[Mr.Nick]

Minesweeper.

Good stress testing too, just to make sure your rig is stable.

Dragon Age is simply awesome. So if you already have this is my recommendation. Due to the length I'd couple this with some Left 4 Dead 2 sessions.

 

[clippa]

Yeah, when overclocking, it's always a good idea to leave pacman running overnight to check stability.

Half life 2, great story, a couple of expansions to keep you going and with a mod the graphics have been updated aswell. really a great game!

Hello Kitty Island adventure is a popular choice!

A serious answer would be it depends on the mood you're in. I REALLY liked DAO and AA, but didn't touch the other 2 games so can't comment on those.

Arkam Asylum is a good choice.

awesome game!

+1 Crysis. Take your computer to the limit and have your newly swelling ego crushed as the game begins to choke.

Or whatever you're in the mood for Ideally something you can enjoy in a way you couldnt enjoy before. If you want a few more fps or better quality in, say, Dragon Age, then go for Dragon Age. There's a reason you upgraded after all, no?

Actually thinking about it... I'd say DAO might be best for a later game.

It will eat up tons of time, so shorter games are best played first I find... or play DAO at the same time when you feel like a bit of a break.

DoW 2 is breathtakingly good fun. I christened my new rig with this over christmas

Now onto Bioshock and Dragon Age and Team Fortress 2
