I just got a new computer and would really like to get into PC games (Bioshock, Orangebox, Crysis, COD4). Ive already got a Wii and dont particaly want another console. Ive cjecked my new computers specs and it shoud be able to run the games ive already mentioned (maybe not at optimal settings but run it none the less).But i heard some games you need to pay to play online, is an across the board thing or is it only with some and should i buy a mike and headset?

The montly fee is only for MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online.

And what are your system specs? Processor, motherboard and ram make a big difference too. There's no point in recommending a high-end card if rest of your rig is low-end. There's even a chance that a high-end card won't even fit your motherboard.

If you have the USB controller you can just plug it in and it should work. A wireless controller needs the wireless adapter for the PC. It costs like 20 bucks
