Hi there, people, a quick question for you...

I have my eye on the games "Grey Goo" and "Act of Aggression". I'm wondering what my PC's abilities are. I used game-debate to help me see if it would hit minimum specification on Grey Goo, it said it goes above and beyond but what I read on the FAQ website has me wondering differently. I'm not that great with PC hardware for my apologies for my ignorance. These are my computer specs.

Windows 7 64 bit PC (is a desktop)

Intel (R) Core i3-4150 CPU at 3.5 GHzNVIDIA GeForce GTX 660

8 GBs of RAM

1440 X 900 Display

If it's relevant the most taxing game I have on here is Starcraft II which I play at maximum graphics with no problems. So how is my PC, is it worthy of modern day games such as the future Grey Goo and Act of Aggression?

Yes, you need a hard drive and there's no way around it. The 20gb hard drives are pretty cheap so... go get one.

so buy a hard drive and it works, anything else I need to do once I get one? Like do I need to install anything? Or is it as simple as plug it in, put halo 2 in then play, no problems?

I don't care about playing it on live I just want the game. Alright I tried just putting in Halo 2 and it said an emulator was needed (there are 2 accounts on my 360...mine which is a silver membership and my brothers which is a gold membership) Both did the same thing. Now I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong in particular, in that situation I turned on the 360, signed into the profile, put in Halo 2 and it said that a harddrive needed to be connected. So what happened? Did I do something wrong???? I tried it on my account and my brothers, both had the same result

Alright this is kind of a long story so I'll give you the short version, basically I have a copy of Halo 2 for the xbox (used to have one for the computer but let's not worry about what happened to that because trust me it's gone and never coming back). Anyways I'm trying to get my 360 to work it, I know you need the emulator or whatever it's called to get it to work. So here's what I've done so far I've gone on the actual xbox website to figure out how to download the emulator and the website is useless because nothing is working! I've tried using a USB drive (my xbox doesn't recognize it) I tried configurin the USB drive but then that goes and fills up the whole drive (it's only 4 GB large I used to have a 32 GB one but I lost that), which means I can't put the update onto the drive to get my 360 to recognize it but I doubt that will work anyways.

Tried using a burned data DVD, the 360 had no clue what to do with it, the website said to copy the contents of the update folder onto the DVD, that's what I did, burned it, and the 360 has no idea what I'm putting into it (no error message just doesn't do anything, tried manually getting it to work the disc, and it refused again no error message). Finally I decided, "FORGET IT!" and tried to do it through xbox live but I couldn't make heads or tales of what was going on. I still think the USB driver is the best approach for me, but I have no idea what I'm doing now! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I want my game to work!!!!/I'm very mad right now that I have to do this at all (again long story) PLEASE HELP PONIC!
