New laptop. What game?!

I suggest *building a desktop*, instead.Threesixtyci

I seriously hate comments like that.

I understand that by price to price, desktops are superior than laptops, but there are people who need laptops for work, study, travel, etc. For example, stuff BESIDES gaming.

Edit: To answer OPs question, I would recommend RTSs since those aren't usually available on consoles. Try Starcraft 2, Company of Heroes, Empire: Total War, etc. They'll give you hours and hours of gameplay, and should be a new experience for console players. Also, I would recommend getting TF2 just because it's vastly superior than the console version.

Hey everyone. I'm planning on buying a new alien-ware laptop just after Xmas because my current laptop is falling apart and needs to be retired. I don't normally play many PC games because i have a PS3 but once i get my new laptop i hope to take it to collage for study use and also personal entertainment in free time. However i don't know what game to buy for it once i do get it, I don't want to have 500 games filling up the memory, i want just one game that i will never get bored of. My question is what game does everyone recommend? I would prefer a game that: -Doesn't get repetitive -You can't lose interest -Online is optional (Not a necessity) -Is fun -Doesn't require constant hourly playing (Can play in intervals) -Not too addictive -Not a game that you complete in 3 days then the only further things you can do is repeat the story line or play again on multi-player -Not too hard to control or play I know the obvious game would be Sims 3 or WoW but i often get bored of Sims and WoW I don't want to try because i will become too addicted and also dont want a subscription required game. I know that im asking a lot but i thought i would ask a good gaming community to help me find the best game for me. Thanks in advance. -PugPuggy-88

Here are some classics you should absolutely try:

• Deus Ex
• Doom 3
• Half-Life 2
• No One Lives Forever 1, 2
• Crysis & Warhead expansion
• Fallout 3
• Brother's in Arms Hell's Highway (This is not your typical 1st person shooter, but I thought it was fantastic)
• Call of Duty & United Offensive expansion
• Company of Heroes (Seriously fun strategy game. Its absolutely awesome)
• Mass Effect 1 & 2
• Need For Speed Shift (Really fun racing game, I thought it was the best in the series)
• STALKER (believe me, its a great game. You need to persist a little bit)
• Lord of the Rings Battle For Middle Earth

In no specific order.

Did I just read that?

Guess you don't know anything about computers.

Yes, desktops are better for gaming but laptops can be used for gaming too...
