After toiling away since 2004 on my old AMD 3200XP, 1Gb RAM, and 6800GT I finally built a new Shuttle XPC with Vista 64bit, Core2Duo, 4Gb RAM and a Radeon 4850.

So now I want to catch up on all the hot games.

I just finished Crysis and bought Gears of War as I want some gore.

Below are games I want to play next but not sure which order I should do this. Obviously I want to play the best first so what should I buy next?

Mass Effect
Bioshock
HL2: Episode2
Call of Duty 4

I'm open to other suggestions though I'm not looking at any RTS games till DOW2 and SC2 come out.

    Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. I was a BF2 fanatic and I'm afraid that it may be incompatible with Vista 64. Should I worry?

    If you're interested in HL2ep2, go ahead and pick up The Orange Box. While Portal and TF2 are now sold in standalone packages, I don't think Ep2 is yet.

    Unreal Tournament III is pretty cheap all of a sudden, around $20.

    Easily the best purchase I've made in the past month or so. It is so worth the $20.

    too bad many on that list were old school back when old school was new school.

    I want tor recommend World In Conflict, but the devs botched that up after release by making some of the roles absolutely useless and others absolutely overpowered. . .

    I just started playing Armed Assault. . . Great game if you enjoy the brutalest of brutal modern squad combat tactics strategy games.
