If it's cheap, sure, it's a reasonable game. But if you thought that MP 1 and 2 were good games, I recommend setting your sights lower for MP3 - it's not in the same league as them.
Nothing of the sort. While the levels are modestly sized, this is a fairly standard linear shooter where you move from mission to mission. If you're hoping for Far Cry 3 with a nanosuit...you will be cruelly disappointed.
By the looks of it, you should be fine since you can still do if statements and lookups (etc) - it still seems to do all the important stuff you might require Excel for. And failing all else, I assume your university has computers you can access with the full version of Excel.
(You could also consider the Open Source spreadsheet programs which should support the xls format)
With Windows 7 or earlier you have to increase the DPI scaling so you can read a lot of the Windows UI text. However, many games don't handle that very well, so you have to set the properties of their .exe files to switch off DPI scaling when you run them.
The main downside to using a TV is that I find RTS or simulations harder to use - the information about specific units (or whatever) is often very difficult to read at a distance.
I've still got a top of the line graphics card and my system is pretty zippy. I should have no reason to upgrade during 2013, possibly not even 2014 unless the next generation of console/multi-plat games dramatically raise the bar (which I doubt they will).
I have to disagree. MP3 didn't live up to the previous two games in the series, was blighted by far too frequent loading/dialogue sequences and turned what was a no-nonsense balls-out shooter series into a generic cover shooter.
ME3 had a weak ending...mainly made much worse by the rubbish Bioware claimed about it. The redux ending fixed most of the issues. A flawed game, although I liked it a lot, but still better than MP3.
