I just got my first gaming pc, but I totally forgot the games. At the moment, I need one pc game that will last for a about a month until I have the money to buy another. I really would prefer a shooter to show off my graphics card. Do any of you have any suggestions?

Specs:

Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.6 GHZ

BFG GTX 260 216 Maxcore

6 GB Ram

You are about to get around 50 posts all saying "The Orange Box" And they are all correct. Go buy The Orange Box.

Check out The Witcher, SWAT 4 (old game but still very good), Crysis, Crysis Warhead, The Orange Box, Sins of a Solar Empire, and finally Painkiller is a very very fun game.

A few more are Vegas 2, Star Wars: Republic Commando, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty 1... The best looking shooters out of those games are Crysis, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Vegas 2, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare...

I was thinking the same thing about the CPU. But it has genuinely surprised me. Every demo that I have played, including Crysis, has allowed me to select maximum settings with absolutely no problems. I only play at 1440x900, so that may be it.

I like 1440x900 resolution. In any case get The Witcher or Team Fortress 2 I wouldn't quite recommended the orange box as the only really fun thing in it is TF2 (Yea...I didnt care for the half lifes. I played hl2, and the 2 episodes all the way thru tho)

You should definitely get The Orange Box.
