Hi peeps..

I've been away for about a year and I am heading home for the holidays. There are so many awesome games out there and I was just wondering if I could have your opinion on what to splash the cash on this xmas.

My aging system specs are as follows: (I forgot that they are in my signature as well, but nevermind)

P4 478 3.4 800FSB
x1950pro AGP 512Mb
2Gb DDR 3200

I've been looking at getting the Orange box, mainly because I am a big fan of HL2 and also it is 17.99 on most sites now. 3 for one you can't go wrong. - Is there a big jump from episode one to two? Should I play one before getting into two? -

Call of Duty 4 looks amazing, same goes for Crysis.

Basically as I don't have an amazing system anymore, what would run as close to sweet as a nut on my rig? Crysis I guess is out of the question. COD 4 is a maybe, and the Orange Box looks like the best option because it still uses the same source engine and that still works great on my rig.

Perhaps I have just answered my own question, but I would still appreciate any feedback, esp from those of you with the games that I've mentioned and with the same hardware specs, or similar to myself.

Cheers.:)

How does the performance differ in HL2:Episode 2 to HL2?

I remember a while back there was a lot of talk about a core2 processor being the cpu of choice for Episode 2. Those of you who still have a P4 478 like myself or an AMD equivalent, what kind of performance are you getting?

There is no way I can afford a hardware up grade, but I mean, is it playable on a single core cpu while retaining its performance graphics wise?
 
Nice! Cheers for all the input guys. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the tip about playing Episode 1 before 2 I think I'll try that :p

Well I had better go get my order in. Think if I get it now I might just be lucky enough to get it for Monday:confused: Let's hope so. :D
 
Would you say that the single player is better than multiplayer in COD 4? I've heard mixed reviews about the two.

Orange Box is on it's way. C'mon Royal Mail.. show me what you can do this crimbo.. :D Just dont loose it. :p
