Shooter, strategies etc.??? I am playing an ego shooter. Its called: Delta Force Black Hawk Down. You can find me on this server: eurosnipers.net |

I love gaming on PCs. Current discussions point toward gaming on the PC dying and going toward consoles (Wii, PS3, XBox 360, etc), but I can't stand using consoles to play games, except Rock Band and Zelda! Personally, I prefer RPG (role playing games) type games, and I just recently became addicted to World of Warcraft (4 years late into the game, but I'm putting many hours into it). I can't wait for Diablo III to come out, as the Diablo series was always my favorite. The great thing about RPGs is that they don't require top of the line video cards since they do not focus on FPS (frames per second), but on basic storytelling elements with slower-paced battle instances (well, slower paced when compared to FPS (First Person Shooters, not to be confused with frames per second)). FPS (first person shooters) get boring real quick (at least to me they do) because they all have the same protruding weapon sticking out of the screen, and they all have the same concept of going through a maze (or city) of sorts and blasting the baddies away with little imagination and even less renewable play. |

I like gaming as well I just don't like to play on line because I have limited internet access. I like RPGs and DIABLO is also one of my favorites. What you do today you will have to live with tonight |

Halo and Crysis are two great games But you need a good video card |

I play Need4Speed undercover. Havy system requirements. But love it. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

I just had a look at your computer specs and I don't think you'll have a problem playing most games. I'd talk to one of the kids at your local computer joint and ask about a really good video card. The kids all know what works best for gaming. If you go for PC games, they can all be played with the keyboard and mouse so no aditional equipment is necessary. Have fun campaigning or going online to play...if you play Halo CE look for me, I play under the name Meraloma. |

The Computer Game series The Call Of Duty is an excellent shooter game. The era of the game is WW2. LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |
