Hi friends

I`m going to bye an action first person shooter game, sth like Half life 2 or Doom 3 etc...

The price is not important just want sth mixed of horror and action. please suggest me some new games in this genre.

oh i forgot : My PC is about old, VGA:Nvidia FX 5500, Ram:512, CPU:Intel P4 2.4 gb, OS:Win XP SP2 or Media Center,

sorry for my poor english

peace

Stalker is an awesome game. So if you like FPS/RPG/Survival it's the one for you. Oh and your vga card may struggle to keep up ... You need to upgrade :)

Thanx my friend BounceDK

I`ll bye it and will upgrade my VGA if my budget meets it.

Another question, what u think of "The Shield" and new "Oblivion" ? I know my system is pretty old for oblivion but does it play acceptable if i upgrade my ram to 1024?

The Shield .. No idea.. But Oblivion will run pretty good with 1gig of RAM - It will stutter, but it won't ruin your game. 2gigs of RAM is beginning to be the minimum these days sadly.

These days you need 1GB minimum, but if you play older games then 512 is fine.

1gig is fine for most games these days on XP... it's Vista where RAM amounts start to depend a lot more.

Half-life 2 (or even the first one) is a great game and the steam engine is merciful towards older computers.

Hmm your VGA card would struggle on new games i think if you are going to upgrade your VGA card upgrade to a 7 series or a highend 6 series if your struggling with cash or are just a cheap guy ;)

As for the game most of the games i am thinking of would butcher your card

But here goes buddy:

Warcraft 3: Reign Of Chaos - Great game, Looks good, Runs on Really LOW system specs, ie, Voodoo2 hahah
Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne - Expansion pack to one of the greatest RTS franchises ever.
Counter - Strike - Great Multiplayer Game, NO Single Player, Need internet to install it now, OLD graphics
Command and Conquer Generals - Real Time Strategy Great game



Someone else will need to confirm these will work on your comp or you could look the specs up yourself:

Max Payne
Max Payne 2 (cant remember what the gfx were like)
Morrowind (maybe? need more ram probably)
Dues Ex

But you will need to upgrade your computer if you want to game with the latest games, it doesnt have to be massive amounts of money, for memory i saw a Nvidia 6800(i think) VGA card for around 150 US$ which are still good cards, just not able to play DirectX10 games (dont worry my card cant either, no biggie(7950GX2 :D )) or extreme games (doom3, quake 4,Oblivion, CoH, Supreme Commander)

Oh BTW im just checking the Requirements on the back of Command And Conquer 3, and it looks like you may be able to play it on your current settings, probably on low but still a great game at 30 - 40 FPS is better than a GOTY game at 5fps (CoH anyone?)

If you haven't played Half-Life 2 yet you really should get it right now! If I were you I should wait for the upcoming "Orange Box" release for Half-Life 2. ;)
