well Supreme Commander if you like OCD amounts of micromanaging translating into late game macro huge explosions...

Some games I got for my new rig to test it out:
- Crysis 1 and 2. Both very very shiny.
- Metro 2033. Incredibly atmospheric, it only gets more so when you can play it on highest settings.
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2. One big bombastic spectacle in multiplayer.

Ahhhh I remember popping bloated heads with fondness. Shame my CD broke, but I doubt it'll work on Windows 7 anyway.King of the Sandbox said:
The orange box is pointless because you can get that on consoles now so there is no point in making this your choice PC game.
Crysis 2 is also a console title and they have pretty much left everything they put into consoles on the pc as well (including mediocre graphics, but even mediocre graphics for a pc enthusiast is eye-poppingly beautiful compared to what console gamers are used to).
Don't buy a game for your ultra expensive pc that can be found on the consoles, you want to have the full PC-GAMING experience, not the console one, that is why you spent so much on a pc.
Crysis 1 is a bit old, don't buy old games because this is a NEW pc, not an old one.
Don't buy any old games, you want to see the full capabilities of your rig.
What you really should get though, is this:
The games that no console can run, the games that no person who plays on the PS3 can experience, the sum of all the beauty that can be done in the world of powerful and superior PC-graphics...
METRO 2033

Note, I don't have anything against console games/gamers and I do not value graphics over gameplay, but my eyes tell me what are beautiful and nothing I have seen on consoles even compare to the pc graphics, but console gamers are right, the pc is expensive.
All of my words are said assuming you bought a very powerful high-end rig that can run these games maxed-out, and that you used to play on the Xbox-360 or PS3 or nothing at all and want to see what the fuss is about with PC-Gaming.
I'm not recommending these games for you to use as benchmark tests for your rig, I recommend them because these are genuinely atmospheric and deep, beautiful games that can't be experienced on anything less than a beast of a gaming machine.
Stalker might seem stupid at first, it seemed stupid to me at first too, but just let the atmosphere take you in and you'll be hooked, it's a deep open world that you can free-roam in and is, again, beautiful.

You get plenty of guns in metro 2033 to fight with, the game isn't like AMNESIA where you don't have weapons.TypeSD said:
Hmm. Im gonna put it on my new desktop (win7 x64) and see if it still works. May just be your copy. If its an old disk, well yeah. Or if you downloaded it, those are often a shit baguette.shado_temple said:
Thinking about the game the other day actually. I played it for 6 years straight. And i lost a few days to it last week too.
Yeah, I think it's Shogun 2. I've not read anything about it yet, but all the other games in the series have been PC killers and I doubt Creative Assembly are going to change their ways now!TypeSD said:
I could not get used to just cause 2 wth the mouse and keyboard. I had to use the gamepad.rabidmidget said:
Something that would look beautiful on a new rig, think STALKER.
Or, if you're patient, wait for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
By God the environment in that game looks soooooooooo Goddamn amazing.

Best test for your rig?TypeSD said:
Crysis is not that fantastic anymore, and 2 is even less demanding.
Try Cryostasis. My rig can only just run that max everything at 1080x1960.
Way more demanding than Metro 2033 or any of the Crysis's.
