finally got a real computer
i3core asus laptop

runs hl2 great
so now I'm looking for something I haven't played yet

what's more fun:
Fallout 3, mass effect or Crysis?

I was big on morrowind, but oblivion crawled on my last machine, is it really a step up from morrowind?

i enjoyed sc2 a great deal

Mass effect is great. Ill recommend starting with 1 obviously and then jumping to 2. Game mechanics switch a lil between em but storyline is great.
Fallout 3 was ok. I heard 1 and 2 were awesome, more rpg like. this ones an fps with lvling up aspects. not too bad.
crysis I never played.
but yea, starcraft2 is good too. I just finished getting all the hard achievements.

My Asus laptop is dual core @ 2.5GHz (OC to 3GHz), I can run pretty much any current game including Crysis with all the pretty stuff turned on. Great looking game, gameplay is so-so in my book. I had a lot more fun with Mass Effect 2.

What kind of graphics does your laptop have? If it's running the built-in Intel HD graphics, then gaming is not going to be good (especially for today's games, or even from a few years ago). Even a discrete mobile addon card won't be great (but much better than Intel HD).

If you like shooters, UT2k4 is always fun.

people still playing ut 2k4?
awesome.
that'll run good

crysis I think I'll like cause I liked far cry a lot
Mass Effect sounds like it has some fans too.
I like bioware, so it probably will work for me too

I have an asus k series laptop
HL2looks better than it did on my dualie tower 2 years ago

crysis only has a couple of seeds while mass effect has 400, so I'll aim at that


I was interested in fallout 3 because I build levels and wanted to look at another game with a good modding setup for rpg style fps.

BTW
was oblivion that much better than morrowind?

I never played it cause my old rig sucked on it,
but I spent a number of months with morrowind

I played the Crysis demo, so I'm not fully qualified to comment on it, but I thought it was kinda lame after about 5 minutes.

Mass effect I quite enjoyed. Bought it during some Steam sale and enjoyed every penny of the $10 (or whatever it was) that I spent.

Fallout 3 had me hooked for a good 6 months solid, I highly recommend it.

Dead Rising 2 and Just Cause 2 are both pretty good so far.

If you're going to download Just Cause 2, make sure you get the update as well.

Dead Rising 2 is on my hitlist although I'll probably get that for my 360. Reviews coming out are pretty good, they did away with the silly photography in the first and put more emphasis on weapons. Just wish they would do away with the timer or make it an option.

Yea, I hate games with timers. You can put a 2 month timer on it and I'll still feel funny the whole time playing it..

Yeah seriously that timer shit is fucken stupid. So glad I didn't buy that one for Xbox.

I just picked up fallotu new vegas last night and played for 7 hours. I have't even seen vegas yet.

When I walked into the game store the guy looked at me and goes vegas?

and I was like VEGAS BABY! WOOO

Then there was a very awkward silent nerdy pause between us.

LOL
