If Warrior Within is working fine, I recommend you try out Neverwinter Nights! Awesome game, if you like a meaningful game which requires you to think instead of twitch fests! Also recommended are Commandos (the whole series) but especially Commandos 2 Men of Courage and also don't forget Need for Speed series (upto Porsche Unleashed will run super fine on your comp...dunno about 6 onwards...)

Then you should be knowing that HL2 crashes when you reach a load point on intel onboard cards.

And also that a game like HL2 Ep. 2 is going to run like **** no matter how scalable the engine is. It will end up looking like CS 1.4 or something d00d... :p

Oh well, if it runs it runs...whatever floats your boat. :)

Thanks friends for all your support...
these next set of thanks goes to faraaz, j1n M@tt, cyberboy_kerala, codename_romeo, Rockstar11, aravind_n20 and adithyagenius

Currently I am trying my hands at Grand Theft Auto III, and Age of Empires II: Age of Kings

International Cricket Captain 2002 installed successfully, but when I start the game all I get is 'black screen' with sound, after a little research in google I found ICC 2002 has some compatibility issue with DirectX 9c :(
