i'm a small time gamer unlike u pros here. i'm looking for opinions on which games to play. here's my configuration:---
1> Intel C2D E8400
2> ASUS P5Q Mobo
3> 1GB DDR2 RAM
4> Dell E178FP monitor
5> XFX 8600GT 256MB DDR3

This is a new rig i setup about 3 weeks ago. I'm bored with life. Plz guys suggest me some games which will entertain (read: not disappoint) me. I like racing games. But am also up for other genres.
Any idea about Smackdown vs Raw?? Is it available for pc ??

Have you tried going up to gaming sites and checking out screenshots and such? Its really annoying to see someone says "my config is blah blah, suggest me games" and someone posts a long list... sheesh...

I think you should be able to run any game ever released on this rig, though some uber games like crysis work only at mid settings. So anything would work fine.

Till then, Pong FTW :D

No problem, take a look at the first 50 threads on the forum, and you can find hundreds of lists of games. Have fun on your rig.

Hi Michael.Congrats on assembling your new config.:)

Now with an 8600GT, you can play pretty much any game at medium setting.If you are into Racing titles then the ones you need to look out for are Codemaster's Race Driver Grid, Falt Out Ultimate Carnage & GTR: Evolution.Rest depends on what genre you prefer.Let us know anything in specific & we can suggest accordingly.

WWE Smackdown VS RAW is still a console exclusive & no plans of porting it across to the PC platform yet.You can try using a PS2 emulator at the best to get it to work but no guarantees on it's performance.

I suggest you play Solitaire and Minesweeper too.....mind-blowing games. My PC barely played them on low but the gameplay justifies it.

as far as i knew these were video games we played way back when we were toddlers. how come they have become resource hungry apps??

Lastly ne body with a review of NFS: Pro Street?

Well dude, NFS:pS sux....... NFS has lost its charm which it possessed in the days of Most Wanted. If its a racing game you want to play, I suggest that you give a try to Race Driver GRID, GTR Evolution and DiRT. Play NFS;MW if you havent. Leave NFS:Carbon and NFS:pS coz they both suck.

I suggest you try out Crysis, Crysis Warhead, STALKER Clear Sky, Mercineries 2, Call of Duty 4 (Its SP rox and its MP is the best), BioShock, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, FEAR, Company of Heroes, etc.

boy actually you have a very very strong gaming machine except your graphic card.
And for this machine asking for games is like cracking jokes and thats what we all are doing.
If you could upgrade to HD4850 type of thing then your machine may be tearmed as monster.

And for your hunger try different games. Like Prince of persia whole series, Rainbow six series etc. Call of duty Modern warfare, Moh: airborne assult and many more. if you want to know which are best games played by forum members click below.

Hope you get satisfied .

And as for NFS: Pro its a good game for those who haven't palyed earlier versions. But yet not so bad to play.

It was truly a mesmerizing emotional surreal adventure game, gone are the days we used to get stories and immersion like that.

okay firstly thanx every1 for posting ur comments

next, why XFX 8600GT ??
answer: serious budget constraints. had to upgrade with 20K. got this one for 4K. was looking for ASUS EN8600GT but none had it. those hu had quoted 7300+. thats ridiculous considering its age. 8600 gives me DirectX 10 support and etc etc. no other vendor had any such offering especially with 256MB DDR3 (i was recommended this by john_the_ultimate). i dont mean xfx. i know its defects. u all wud not say all that if u new the hassles i went through. this time round i researched on Nvidia so all of a sudden cud not switch to ATI.

about the titles --- i'm a novice among u pros out here. i have been dying to play some but dont know which ones to play. I asked u all coz i didnt know which games i cud run with the computing power i currently have. Thanx 4 that people

^^thats ok michael...tell us which genre u like most..like story type of adventure games or shooting games or racing games ? then we will able to suggest more specifically....

my preference is:--
1> wrestling (but no Smackdown vs Raw available)
2> Racing
3> Story driven

Am not comfortable with general FPS games
Played POP classic on my cellphone. Just Love it. May b i'll giv it a try

I doubt if you'll be able to get decent wrestling games on the PC. As for racing, try the Need For Speed series (Underground 1, 2 & Most Wanted). Also give Flatout:Ultimate Carnage a go. I'm currently playing it and it's quite addictive :D

Oh yeah, just remembered, you could try RAW, which came out sometime in 2003/04.
esumitkumar
Sep 27, 2008 at 12:48 AM
1. POP The Sands of Time
2. POP Warrior Within
3. POP The Two Thrones

Play in the above series only....

Also If u like a puzzle solving game :try The Longest journey and Grim Fandango ...

Read wiki entries before playing ..NJoy and have fun :D

For playing wrestling games you have to move a step back and go to video game parlors only there you will find all the best games.
But i am remembering one game but not recalling its name. and its released for PS3 i think.
and for adventure sowrd and free form fighting you should must play the POP: series
specially
POP: Warrior within
POP: The two throwns.

^^PoP : Sot is the best........best grafix and story.

WW has the best gameplay.

T2T is jack of all trades and master of none.

For racing Game: Flatout Ultimate Carnage. Pure fun.
Try POP series in the correct order for adventure. Start with these. It will take you weeks to complete them.

You have a good configuration but another stick of 1GB RAM would have been perfect.

I think we should stop suggesting him now. He might be having a long list by now.
Some time earlier I too have started a thread asking for RTS games. I too had got a list of very very good games through the members. And Now I am busy playing those. Lets give him some time to play.:D
