    Hey guys

    My pc main spec is Athlon 64 3200+
    1 gig DDR Ram
    160 gig SATA HD
    Geforce 6800 GT

    Which game will run best on my system but also which game is the best?

    Thanks

    I dont wanna pay for online play as I dont have a job yet so MMORPG's are out of the question. I think Il go for UT2004 and HL2.
    Does anyone know if Stream will be a problem as I have heard a few bad reports about it?

    Farcry, ut2004, get half life 2 off steam, silver edition, the collectors edition is just the game and a t-shirt in a fancy box, Silver package on steam offer you much more.

    Doom 3 Hands down!
    Awesome Game!

    Far Cry - Boring story & Cheap models. Those hairless Baboons look so retarded!

    HL2 - Havent played it....


    It's funny that people complained about Doom3 being too dark, well I tried Alien Vs Predator 1 Marine campaign & boy is that dark! You can't even turn off the night gogles without running into an Alien. It just sucks! It's icredible how bad this game is (Gameplay & graphics) & no I'm not comparing it to modern FPS but even for 1999 standards this was unacceptable!
    Just compare it to Unreal 1 & HL1 that looked so much ahead of their time.

    Doom3 is awesome imho.(Gameplay, story, graphics, atmosphere)

    I'd like to see you say it to their face!

    Anyway, they aren't hairless Baboons.

    They are genetically engineered primates called Trigens.

    Far Cry is a great game, one of the best.

    I still can't understand what the attraction to Unreal Tournament is?

    No story line, and mindless shooting at anything that moves.

    Each to their own, but I don't see the point.

    UT is really a multiplayer game. It's good online and great at lans - lots of different modes of gameplay.

    I would say D3, HL2 and Farcry will keep you busy for a while.
