What games benefit from being on a SSD ?

MMO's tend to benefit a lot from SSD's I've found.

More so than all of the other game genres.

Ah, never played it on anything other than an ssd so had nothing to compare. It's handy for me because I always choose the Mason Order, attacking blue is etched into my mind and I always end up team hitting if I'm Agatha.

FOOOOTHAOOOOORDEEEERRRR!

But yeah, any game that takes ages to load will benefit from an SSD. The only game I "have" to have on SSD is BF3, otherwise you will never get a vehicle at the start of a round.

BF3 if you want any hope of a vec at the round start.

would agree and go as far as saying every game is better with ssd,

Every "MP" game i play with my mates who only have mech drives, means im always waiting for them to join and they have good systems, its all down to the ssd.

great upgrade if you can get a one, I would say get at least 256gig, i had a 128 then ended up slapping it into a raid array,

Some games benefit more than others I find. A lot of games are using cutscenes to hide loading times these days (Hitman: Absolution and Max Payne 3 for example) which means there isn't a hugely noticeable benefit in my experience. Other games will obviously show more significant improvements though, especially if load times are already quite long.
