I'm more here to brag about what I'm going to buy then to ask what games I should get. I'm pretty set on what I want.

I'm finally getting a computer that I can game on. I've had to settle for integrated graphics cards for as long as I can remember and while the classics are great, I'm very happy I can play all the latest and greatest at least at medium/medium-high settings.

While I enjoy PC gaming, the last PC game I have bought on CD was Civ IV and lately my only license purchases have been Football Manager 08 and Out of the Park Baseball 8, not exactly graphics heavy games.

Anyways, once my laptop finally arrives I'm going to be grabbing:

Company of Heroes - I've been wanting to play this since day one and never had the chance.

Battlefield 2 - Read above

Supreme Commander - Total Annihilation was awesome. Everyone tells me this game is killer.

and finally...Unreal Tournament 3.

I figure with these four I have my RTS and FPS needs all set. I was thinking about getting Crysis but I'll probably wait and just play these four for a while. I'll also most likely also get Sins of a Solar Empire and whatever else that I can find along the way. The great thing about PC games, I have noticed, is the go on sale quite often. Whats not to like?

Any thoughts on my (soon to be) purchases?

Honestly, I'd just skip on the UT3 and go straight for Crysis. Or maybe even Call of Duty 4 if you were looking forward ro having a multiplayer game. But honestly, BF2 will be taking up most of your online time.

Here is what I know for a fact I am buying by the end of 2008 (if it is released):

StarCraft II. My interest in games is at an all time low right now... so sad.

Play? You bet. Play with any sort of medium settings, probably not. I'm going to pass on Crysis on get the Strat games. I have the Orange Box on my 360 but because I'm moving overseas (and leaving my 360 behind) I'm going to HAVE to get Team Fotress 2. That game is just too sweet. Counterstrike Source also seems like a must have.

...and here I go.
