Two more days

[Stormcrow]

Well, two more days to go, Fedup is supposed to be dropping off my 8800 on Tuesday. I'm excited, I feel like a little kid with Christmas Eve approaching...tell me, what games should I get first?
My last video cards were...a Sapphire Radeon 9200SE, yes..a "Spuschul Edition", like the regular 9200 wasn't crappy enough, followed with a Geforce FX 5500 which I thought was awesome, and now with a 6200LE Turbocache.
I went all out with this baby, I wanna finally see Far Cry at anything higher then Low

I've got these games now:
Far Cry
Neverwinter Nights
Morrowind
Guild Wars
WoW which I never play
Diablo 2
Empire Earth
And Oblivion which was a gift...and lagged crazy on low with that 5500.

Sooo, not much of a workout for a 8800, I'm thinking of picking up Supreme Commander, STALKER, and Dark Messiah to show me what I've been missing, maybe 2142 and perhaps Crysis when it finally rolls out.

Wow, the simple thought of being able to go into a Walmart, and pick up any game there knowing that not only will it run, but it'll look good too is simply awesome

You might want to consider FEAR and FEAR Extraction Point. Valve is also releasing the Orange Box in october with will feature HL2: Episode Two as well as several other HL and other games.

Dark Messiah looks sexy on my 22" w/ x1950pro.. well, the demo at least T_T

I've heard alot about FEAR, seems pretty good. Looks like Wednesday I'll be downloading a bunch of demos. And the Orange Box..wasn't that supposed to be the Black Box that came with the 2900 before it got canceled?

Valve cancelled the black box for sale and replaced it with the orange box, but includes the black box with most 2900 cards. Yup.

If you want to demo FEAR's graphics, you can download FEAR Combat for free and play multiplayer :) Or you can download the FEAR demo, but I warn you. Its short! >_<' And the game is very creepy. It scares the SH!T out of me.

Oh, FlatOut2 has some nice graphics, but its not all that amazing. It has great physics though. Check out the demo if you want :) Its fun for a while.

I have to second F.E.A.R. I've been blown away by that incredibly short demo . Looking to pick it up in the next few days myself. I may be a little late on the bandwagon, as of late, but it's really unlike anything I've ever experienced. The gameplay and AI is awesome, I find.
I have to say that it reminds me a hell of a lot of Max Payne, in principle... dramatically souped up, though. Max Payne had the freaky dreams/hallucinations and bullet time. *shrugs*
