Lately I've been buying several games a week, and not playing them for more than a few hours, if that. I'm looking for something that'll keep me hooked and make me feel all happy inside.
My PC isn't great, but isn't complete crap either. I can run Oblivion fine, Fallout 3 on the lowest settings, although Vats seems to hurt my computer and my mouse lags like hell, all Valve games run like a dream, and Prototype runs pretty well too. Hopefully that'll give you an idea of the kind of things I can run.
I wouldn't mind either an FPS or a RTS, although after playing through Starcraft 2 most RTS's seem pretty boring now.
I'm considering - Modern warfare, not the second one because I finished it on Xbox in 6 hours and was not happy. The first is supposed to be better.
Battlefield: Bad company 2, although not sure if it'll run.
Arkham Asylum, but again, now sure if it'll run.
Dragon age: Orange juice, but again, not sure if it'll run. Also played it on the Xbox, but didn't find it as addictive as Mass effect 1 or 2. Pc Version might be better.
I'm not into horror games much, as I don't like to sit there wondering when the next bathroom accident will happen instead of playing the game. Although if the games really good, I might just try it anyway. Hearing good things about the Stalker games, so not sure. Plus I have no idea which one to get first, since there's three on Steam and I'm not entirely sure what's what.
Played on the Penny arcade game, and liked the combat system but the game just blew. Tried looking for something similar, but most games are action RPG's these days, and the turn based are all really old, and I want something with a little better graphics than Fallout 2. Although that game was awesome.
On a side note, I want to play more Oblivion, but my fear of glitches has made me flee. More specifically, the 'double face glitch' you get when fast travelling with a companion. Made me cringe and Alt+f4 out of it. I don't know why, but graphic glitches like that freak me the hell out. I know there's a spell mod where you cast it on them and it goes away, but just the fact it's there and unfixed makes me nervous. I'm such a wuss.
Anyway, any ideas for games?
TL;DR - Need good games!
Edit - Also, I'd prefer either Steam or Direct2drive to get them. The outside world sucks.
