I have to say the source engine. It will run fine on 4 year old computers (heck, probably even further back if you turn all the settings down), and it can still tax the most powerful consumer machines on the market at it's highest settings.
Most games this isn't a problem. It shouldn't be for TF2. Some, however, don't like to be Alt-Tabbed (this won't break it, it just won't go all the way back to the desktop. You'll have the tray on the bottom of a paused game screen), and some won't, period.
Try to launch it without using Steam (there should be an exe in the /steam/steamapps/common/doom3 folder somewhere). If that doesn't do something different, I don't know what to tell you.
I got kinda bored of it pretty quick. I played all the way to the battleship, and I'm probably just gonna uninstall now, because I've seen all the cool-looking bits.
I think this has to do with all the politicians trying to propose bills and stuff. They're telling the employees to be more careful to avoid potential lawsuits. Even if that's for buying games, not selling. And they've always limited it to credit for under 18 customers.
Hey, man, what scares me doesn't mean it'll scare someone else. And what scares other people doesn't mean it'll scare me. To be totally honest, the only time I played the demo was after being really high, and it was starting to freak me out. I could probably play through it if I had the time.
For some kind of contrast, FEAR wasn't scary for me either. Which I realize after typing is another Monolith game. Oh well, they pander pretty well to the kind of folks who thought The Ring and The Grudge were scary. Which isn't me.
I'm not going to play Condemned. The demo level I saw was enough. Their use of lighting is so ridiculously scary, I didn't even finish the demo. No lie. I'm that scared of it.
Doom 3 is pretty scary if you play it in the dark. Without the duct tape mod. Using nothing but the shotgun.
The first time I played through Ravenholm in Half-Life 2 had me going quite a bit. I still get freaked out when I hear the fast zombie shreik.
