    PC Games

    So I just got a new computer and I'm trying to find some games that would run decently on it and that I would like. I'm mainly into story heavy RPGs, but would like a game with nice graphics as well to take advantage of my hardware.

    PC Specs:
    Quad Core 2.33
    4 gigs DDR2 RAM
    Nvidia Geforce 9800GT

    I was thinking about The Last Remnant, but I've already played it on 360, looking for other suggestions.

    Here's something you could use
    Can You RUN It? it checks your system to see if you can run a game really helpful.

    You'd be surprised on how little resources LR takes.

    Your setup right there is overkill for a lot of shit. Settings that will probably hinder your performance on any game will be shadows/16x AA.

    If you have a controller, give Devil May Cry 4 (torrent) a shot. I don't think you can even play it without one.

    Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 are also good. L4D kinda sucks joining solo, but you can have lots of fun playing TF2 without any friends to team up with.

    TF2's on sale through Steam for $10 this weekend only, so if you're thinking of getting it, now's the time

    Thanks for the replies, I might get Dead Space. I know this is borderline blasphemous around here, but I really hate TF2 lol. I played it as part of the Orange Box in PS3, not a game for me.

    You could buy it as a gift for $10 and give it to someone else later for $15

    Not too many story heavy RPGs out there on PC. Hell, most of them are other genres with RPG elements. Anyway, I'd recommend Oblivion if you haven't tried it yet.

    Seconding Mass Effect

    Also, that tool is terrible, it says I can't run Mass Effect but I ran it at 1680x1050 with 8X AA and 16X Anisotropic filtering >.> I really need a new monitor

    I settled on installing Neverwinter Nights 2 and am going to play through that again on a non-shitty pc. I also own Oblivion, I might pop that on here too.

    I already played Mass Effect on 360, loved that game.
