    Definitely getting dated, will probably upgrade soon but until then I need some games to play!


    CPU should cope and people play Civ 4 on integrated graphics but I'm not sure what kind that AMD has or if it could cope.

    I played Civ 3 a lot in school but if you can run Civ 4, grab that. It's hands down better. I play that over 5 still today especially with mods.

      I just can't stop. I'll probably never play half of them but I'm a hoarder and they're cheap.

      Ended up adding the below.

      KOTOR
      KOTOR II
      Max Payne 1 & 2

      and now I'm probably going to grab the Thief series, Tropico 4 and Bastion.

        Forgot to mention that this computer came with the Radeon x1300 Pro, so it's a little better than integrated graphics. Might look into that one. Still trying to keep myself from buying more games especially now that I saw how long it takes to beat Morrowind.

        I'm sure Civ IV and KOTOR will be on sale again in the future anyways so it's not like a can't miss deal.

            That's along the line

            Hate the dark like background but I guess I can't complain....I'd prefer a more fun cartoony like background


            Anything else out there? I will check this one out

              Just bought The Witcher and Witcher 2(both extended editions) for 9.98

              I cannot believe how far a $50 gift card has gone and I still have 10 bucks...

                Posted this in the DOTA 2 thread, but I have several invites for that game to give away. First come first served.

                  If you still have one I'd like one. Not sure I can run it but there is always a ton of people playing it.

                      That 1.9 Ghz Dual Core scares me, honestly. DOTA 2's minimum is a P4 3.0 Ghz, and you can't exactly double a dual core processor's speed to compare it to a single core - it just doesn't work like that.

                      I know these things are never exact, but go here, select DOTA 2 and see what it says about your system.

                      Check your system requirements. Can I Run it? Test your specs and rate your gamimg PC.


                      If it says you can run it I'll get you one, but if you activate it and it doesn't work, it's just lost.

                        Wait, is DOTA the game they have all over Twitch... With all of the crazy tournaments?

                          You're probably right on that one. Better to save it for someone that can use it for sure. Appreciate the gesture, I'm sure someone will put the code to good use!

                            One of them. League of Legends being the other you're probably referring to.

                            They're both MOBA's, a genre that grew out of the Warcraft 3 mod Defense of the Ancients. DOTA 2 is a standalone game, though.

                              Save those keys. Most people have loads of Dota keys laying in their inventory. I was just given another 4.
