Hello Guys!

I want to buy/download some good games of all times for my laptop.
The said machine's config is the good one as I've bought the laptop in 2010 , that's of 'Dell - Inspiron series'
Kindly check the screenshot as it can run 'Bioshock 2' so that it's config may be determined.
Thanks in advance for your kind advice :)

Give us proper config and ask here *forum.digit.in/gamerz/8996-will-game-run-configuration.html

Or you can refer to the spreadsheets made by me which are suggested above by lightlingfast.

decide what kind of games you want to play. Then make a list of games and ask in *forum.digit.in/gamerz/8996-will-game-run-configuration.html thread if those games will run on your system or not. Mention your config in details as gameranand said earlier.

Install CPU-Z and GPU-Z. Post screen shots of every tab and include one from the device manager -> display adapters as well.

First and foremost, upgrade your GPU drivers because they are using Microsoft drivers. Install required drivers from AMD site.

Hello Guys ,

Instead of starting a new thread , I wanted to continue the conversation in this thread only as the matter is still the same (after a year ;)
I have this laptop and which can run PC Windows Games mostly of 2010 year.
So I'm considering these games , namely --->>>
Just Cause 2 , NFS Hot Pursuit , Battlefield Bad Company 2 , Split Second , Bioshock 2 , Mass Effect 2 , Call of Duty : Black Ops , Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 , etc.

I just want to ask whether I should buy these/some of them from online stores or from Steam platform?
Is Digital game content is safe to buy or I should go for physical DVDs? And what are these DLCs ?
Thanks for your support :)

It is safe to buy online, but if you have metered internet connection then you need to plan your downloads as these games are quite big. So plan your purchase and downloads as per the data yuu have left with for that particular month.
DLCs are some extra features of the game which was not released with the game, are sold separately. Earlier they used to come with the name "updates" and for free but now these are new or extra features comes as DLCs. Buy them if you want more from your favorite games.

Hmmm , that's good.
I think I will buy those DVDs rather downloading these 5-8 GBs games :idea:
BTW did you guys have some other games in mind which I've missed here of 2010 year.
If yes , plz share here ... Thanks again :razz:

You'll have to download some data nonetheless. Patches, updates, etc can be of multiple GBs and the game won't activate offline.

Now I'm comparing game prices at various platforms including Steam etc. to get profitable deals :twisted:

Just Cause Series is on sale on Steam BTW so you can buy that and play. Keep an eye out for Daily Deals of Steam because next big sale is in June so thats a long way to go.

Go into the Origin games folder for the games in question and run the DXSETUP from there. This file is normally localed in __Installer\directx\redist or a similar location within the game folder.

One more thing , Would u tell me how to configure PS2 controller with ME 2?
My PC has paired with controller n calibrating fine but it is not identified by ME 2 :!:
I searched online for solution but failed to get desired results.

ME2 is RPG game which is meant to be played with KB+Mouse not controller. However you can force it. Honestly I would advice you to play with Mouse and KB, using the powers, aiming and other stuff is so much better using the KB+Mouse setup.
But here is the method.
For this you need two softwares. One is a mod for this game which will unlock the controller support of game and second you need a Xbox 360 controller emulator so that game recognizes your PS2 controller as Xbox 360 controller.

Mod Link
ME3 Explorer Toolset Forums • View topic - ME2 Controller Support (Power Wheel

Xbox360 emulator link
Xbox 360 Controller Emulator

Install and configure both of these and you are good to go. Do the controller part first.
