counterstrike source, battlefield 2, halo 1, etc.

I just get into FPS games so thats pretty much all I can reccommend.

Just look for games made in or before 05 or early 06. With your hardware you'll probably have some trouble playing games much newer than that.

Arrow What Games :: Need Advice

Hi all. I hope, that I'm posting it in a right place and that I'll find, what I'm looking for. I wonder, if there's any services similar to Microsoft's Game Advisor, that will scan my system, or at least give me a chance to choose my hardware from the list and give me a list of games, that are applicable for my computer.

My computer is HP's Compaq nx7010. Processor: M 1.7GHz; Memory: 512MB; Graphics Card: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9200; Hard Drive: 40GB.

Maybe someone could make a suggestion to me, about what games are good and are applicable for my computer. I like strategy games, adventure games, simulation games, shooting games and maybe role playing games. If you could give me a list of at least 10 or 5 really good games - I would appriciate it. Thanks.

P.S. I've tryed Google search on Top Games and I didn't found, what I were looking for. I hope, that Game Advisor is NOT the only service, that can provide you with such feutures, because it doesn't work for my Firefox.

Hmmm...maybe you can first give some genres you like to play, e.g. FPS (=first person shooter), MMORPG (=massive multiplayer online role playing game), RTS (=real time strategy), sims etc..
Then some people could suggest good titles suited for your system...

Warcraft 3 / Starcraft, which are strategy games (RTS), would definitely run decently on your pc. Another good game for your rig would be Command & Conquer Generals.

Isn't C&C Generals the one with the Iraqi terrorists who have nuclear weapons?

The only WMD ever found in Iraq, methinks...

Yes it is. Actually, it's a great game even for a radeon 9200.
I'm still playing it because i cannot run C&C 3: Tiberium Wars smoothly on my pc.
