you dont' have 4 teamates yelling at you and 5 opponents loling at you for the first 20-25 games (30 mins each hf) if you have friends then do it since they can teach you. only 1/3 of the people in the dota community will actually help you if you say "help im new" honestly you should get into brood war. it's fun, it's less frustrating than sc2, it's rewarding and it's well played out already. honestly i'd be playing broodwar over sc2 right now if sc2 wasn't so big. it's nice to play a game knowing it has a future in western esports, but if you're for mastery and for competitiveness broodwar is the way 2 go. | ||

http://www.quakelive.com/ It's ridiculously hard to newcomers, but I think it's skill matching is decent. I was helping my friends get into the game in a FFA match and the other players weren't timing pickups or collecting weapons, which is the SC-equivalent of building a barracks and never building more than 6 workers. | ||

torchlight is also excellent if you're into diablo-type games. (its made by some of the main guys that made diablo1 and 2). if you want a game you can really sink your teeth into try baldur's gate 2. i just started playing it yesterday actually and it was very fun. i dont know anything about Dungeons and dragons rules so i cheated when i made my character, dying in those type of games sucks. my dude is super powerful and pretty much wrecks anything and everything he comes into contact with. i play for the story\writing and this game is excellent in those areas. | ||

Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy - 1st/3rd person shooters where you get to be a fucking Jedi. Lightsabers, force powers, and (apart from the Doom Clone first few levels of JK2) excelent level design. Never felt like more of a badass then when I'm playing these games well. Deus Ex- Classic shooter/RPG. If you can handle the older graphics and terrible enemy AI, you'll appreciate world class level design, a choice filled plot, and a great story. Civ 4 - IMHO, a superior game to civ 5. Lots of mods available add to it's appeal | ||

You could try Rise of Nations for a fun casual single player RTS. The older Total War games could be great fun too. I think Rome and everything before would run smoothly on your computer. | ||

Dota if you're masochistic / not new to the genre (and still kinda masochistic) The awesome old rpgs already mentioned (planescape, BG) On the rain slick precipice of darkness (pts 1 and 2) | ||

I think with those specs you can play Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition, just with graphics settings turned down a bit. It was released for PC this month (or was it last?), so there's still a good player base online. It's currently one of the most popular games in the genre, in case you wanted to play something a little more modern and relevant to the times. The actual arcade machine hardware running that game is the Taito Type X2, which is essentially a Windows XP embedded machine with somewhat similar specs to your computer (graphics card a little better, but around that generation). | ||

I also played through Westwood's Blade Runner last week, which is a point-and-click adventure remake of the cult favourite movie (surprise) Blade Runner! Now it's from 1997 and it was a bitch to get running, but boy... that game is as fucking stupid as I remembered. On second thought, don't play Blade Runner. Other options... hmm... Red Alert 2 is a fun old RTS, and you can't go wrong with any of the games from the Civilization series either. Civ3 and Civ4 are my favourites, and they're turn-based strategies so even if they don't run super smooth, you're not gonna miss anything! | ||

C&C1, Red Alert, and Tiberian Sun are all freeware. RA2 still isn't freeware, but IMO it's the peak of classical C&C and is still one of the funnest RTS games that I've ever played, especially in regards to the awesome campaign. C&C1 and RA1 are pretty much the same game, but can prove hours of old-school entertainment if you can deal with the old, clunky UI and AI. Also, I think C&C games have some of the best in-game music ever made, thanks to the all-mighty Frank Klepacki. Also, you should check out Battlefield 1942 and possibly Call of Duty 1. BF1942 still has an active player community and has tons of epic games on all the time. In addition, BF1942 had an active modding scene with TONS of great mods out there to extend the game's replayability (such as Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope). Despite the recent shenanigans of Activision, CoD1 is still a classic with a very memorable campaign and a very solid multiplayer (without any of the extra stuff that was added into CoD4 and later). | ||

Escape Velocity Nova. It is an open ended space trading/explore/war game. You start out with a small shuttle and trade or pirate or "quest" your way to larger ships. There are many factions in the game and several main storylines you are free to follow. You can join the rebels and try to bring down the federation, join the feds and crush those rebels. the alien race, and many more. This game has eaten more hours up then I care to remember. AMAZING | ||

I played BW when I had to use a crappy laptop, it was good fun (and challenging!) to run through the campaign again. Diablo 2 is amazing too, as is WC3. In fact you could even probably play WoW on low settings (remember how old a game it is, it really doesn't need a great computer) if you want to risk addiction :D I used to play this sim-city esque game called Pharaoh too, that was cool and quite different from the above. I believe there was a roman version as well called... Caesar? Not sure. Have fun playing retro games everyone ^^ | ||

Too bad Europe and America won't jump on board. I love this game compared to CSS. Around 12-15,000 players online at peak times. http://suddenattack.gamehi.com/App/downloads/download.aspx System Minimum Requirements Recommended Specifications CPU Pentium3-800MHZ or above Pentium4 or above Memory (RAM) More than 256 MB More than 512 MB Graphic Card 32M Graphic memory or above 64M Graphic memory or above Direct X 9.0c or above I played this for about 2 months before switching to CS because SA is just a little bit to easy but then again the people who play are mostly nice (the ones that speak English which were kinda rare but either way most are cool). Just learn to use the TRG and save your money for it, that and the AK are my personal fav's on SA since they just get the job done so effortlessly. Clan support for SA is sick too its so easy, I got in a clan one night and by the next morning had already helped them win 2 clan wars lol. Not saying I was all that great if I played versus truly skilled people who had been serious into it for years but still its very fast paced like SC so if you play SC you will fit well. CS is far more difficult though so much more worthy of free time, gotta love a good challenge. :D Still though great pick its a fantastic game (and free!!). | ||

It's such a challenging game and you can improve so much at SC2 just by playing it and realising the importance of macro/timings. The campaign is also BADASS. I played BW when I had to use a crappy laptop, it was good fun (and challenging!) to run through the campaign again. Diablo 2 is amazing too, as is WC3. In fact you could even probably play WoW on low settings (remember how old a game it is, it really doesn't need a great computer) if you want to risk addiction :D I used to play this sim-city esque game called Pharaoh too, that was cool and quite different from the above. I believe there was a roman version as well called... Caesar? Not sure. Have fun playing retro games everyone ^^ Ohh, man you just reminded me how much fun I had with Pharaoh and Caesar 2/3 totally reinstalling those games, they were epic. I remember playing Caesar and pissing off Rome by refusing to pay tribute for a few years then having to deal with like 6 armies of legionaries raping all my prefects, and burning down my city because I never built any real military, lol i was a dumb kid. | ||

Minecraft and Broodwar are also ridiculously good games as well. Can you play WC3 online/dota with those specs? | ||

Try Deus Ex. First-person shooter, single-player, with an interesting sci-fi storyline and RPG elements. Has a lot of options for how to complete missions, like a much more advanced and prettier version of Goldeneye (for N64). Your PC is more than powerful enough to handle it. Also it costs ~$10 for a digital download, through Steam or D2Drive or whatever. | ||

online civilisation, runs 100% in browser, everyone should know what civ is about http://www.freecol.org/ colonization clone, try to colonize america as the dutch (french, englishman or spaniard) I think best described as: Like civ, but quite different http://www.openttd.org/ OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features. Before the 1.0 release it needed the data files of the original TTD, but now it works completely on its own. If you know and loved the original TTD then this may consume your life :D | ||

I bought it yesterday, and still pretty confused by the mechanics and whatnot.. I haven't been able to beat an easy computer yet! :3 It's fun though. I really enjoy the style of everything and the graphics look great to me. | ||

I was playing HoMM 4 just two weeks ago, and it's still as great / addictive as ever. Do check the series out when you can! You can easily Youtube some of the music, honestly, that alone might convince you... | ||

UT99 is good, but suffers from poor lighting and the polygonal graphics aren't as crisp. UT2k4 offers better visibility, better jumping mechanics, more HUD options, and the weapons are tweaked in a way that just "feels" more comfortable. His system should be able to run UT2k4 with everything maxed out or however else he wants it, so the part about the not-as-good computer doesn't matter. That being said, if you really want to play multiplayer style FPS, Quake Live is really the only way to go | ||

Definitely worth playing if you haven't already. | ||

If you buy a $50 video card, SC2 will run flawlessly. So will a LOT of other games. You'll probably be able to handle most XBOX 360 and PS3 ports. Edit: I actually have 2GB of ram, but you might be able to find some old used ram that matches your motherboard if you look around. I got a Radeon 4600 something and the upgrade felt like I bought an entirely new computer. | ||
