It's bascially, build a base, hold territory (more territory = greater resources) and destroy the enemy. Certainly very RTS indeed.

reminds me of Z: steel soldiers

man that game is great, X3 is good game for eye candy, so is GRAW, empire at war (bloom, soft shadows, etc) and RS vegas, avoid using far cry if you wanna stress system though, great game but it runs on just about anything, its so well coded IMO its brilliant

R6 Vegas - dont think it runs well on anything tbh... its SO badly coded

If you actually want a game to enjoy :

CoH
CoD2
FEAR

Those should get you started

Call of Juarez, really nice looking game, goes against the grain of the usual FPS', and most importantly its very very fun! Its one of the few FPS' that i've played all the way through in the past 3 years or so. Don't see it mentioned much on here though, I don't know why as I really enjoyed it.

My girlfriends 5 year old HP runs WOW. My mothers 4 year old (totally non-gaming) budget work-rig runs WOW even better.

My 3 year old gaming rig ran WOW fine when it was released.

I suggest something else. Just grab loads of latest demos. Games, nvidia etc.

yup my 6300, 1gb ocz , 6800GT agp can run WoW on max settings without a hitch.

Try test drive unlimited, bf2142, FSX10 or supreme commander demo on fileplanet

If you want a nice cheap action blast, Call of Duty II, or download Steam and get Half-Life II.

Another vote for Company of Heroes, or Medival II if your into that kind of thing. You won't play anything like that on any console

For Multiplayer, Battlefield II, or UnrealTournament 2004.

Good point, and granted it's not the shiniest game in the world but when run at max settings and high rez especially on a large widescreen(24"+) it looks look pretty flippin' good tho

I did also say that Armed assault & Supreme Commander would show off a rig like that

So did you pick up your computer ? if so what games you get ?

akirru · 16 Feb 2007 at 01:12

What about the Chronicles of Riddick game???!! It's sooooo great

Make sure and pick it up as it can be had at budget bin prices, it looks sweet and has a great single player.

Really enjoyed this also,extremely addictive,atmospheric and satisfying gameplay imo. Graphically superb too! infact only a heavily modded oblivion looks better!

You'll need to get Supreme Commander at some point as well!

Do you reckon its dodgy Nvdia drivers that stops me from running Company of Heroes maxed out with AA? I can run it at ultra, but AA makes it too choppy.
