So is mine but I built my PC so I could hand pick the parts and it can still run any game out there. The video card was next to top of the line, I just couldn't justify the extra $200 at that time. I hope to be able to another home built PC soon.

I am looking forward to playing the game.

I will probably at least rent it soon.

My favorite FPS of all time was "Farcry" for the PC. Amazing graphics, beautiful jungle, mountains and beach landscapes with what is still the best water I have ever seen. Cool off-road vehicles including, jeeps, dune buggys, pontoon boats and the coolest... flying a hang-glider from one mountain to another where you have to actually play with the up and down drafts to get where you want to be.

I also like that it was an FPS but you also have to sneak around like a sniper and use a lot of strategy. Just run around with guns-a-blazin and you won't last long.

Only downside is that it gets a ridiculously hard near the end and the game's ending will make you want to smash the CD over your head. Required an 800 dollar plus video card when it came out a few years ago but todays low enders should be able to run it fine.


With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

Farcry was a fantastic game--the plot was insanely stupid and overdone, but the gameplay was amazing, and the graphics were beautiful. Good weapons, too. We'll see what happens when Crysis comes out.

I recommend playing and beating Portal first, but if you want the song that plays at the end credits, you can download it here at this MySpace profile:

Portal Song

Seriously, though, the song is so cool to hear upon beating the game, so only download it if you've already completed the game or if you have no intention of playing the game.
