Freelancer may be hard to find though, might find it at gamestop like I did, or you could get it via http://www.gogamer.com/Freelancer--IMPORT--Front-Page_stcVVproductId5589774VVcatId444710VVviewprod.htm

If you need an action adventure game try Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind the collectors set, it has the original game and the expansion packs Tribunial and Bloodmoon, you can find it for about $20-$30, and it will last you like 300hours!!

I haven't takenmany computer science courses so I can't really give you a definite answer. But my OS is windows XP SP2, RAM is about 1G, andthe processor ispentiumD, I think that's about it. I'll pass on RTS because like I said, games like warcraft takes a lot of practicesin order to becomejust adecent player.But space combat sims sounds interesting. Actually I'm very interested to know if there is any anime-related games for PC.

You want a Space combat Sim, look no further than Freelancer, it is one long space combat sim with a great story that takes a while to draw you in. Freelancer will take you about 30 to 50 hours to beat and then you are free to roam the universe.

Yes, I beat you to discussing the Phenoms, at my forum http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26012804

Anyways, I'm excited about the Phenoms coming out too. I will not buy anything but AMD processors. AMD willdefeat Intel again.The Phenoms will be releasedthisNovember, about the 15th or atleast this year. New motherboards will be released at about the same time. Here is a Motherboard picture.

Goleneye and Perfect Dark from the N-64 would be nice on the VC to as long as it still has multiplayer, and maybe an added online multiplayer.Raider762

whoops I meant Goldeneye, still waking up

Thanks for the heads up. Anyway,find a small computer store, that makes custom computers, and fixes small problems such as a no-post or something like that. Ask tham to make you a computer, maybe order the parts via newegg, trust me it is way cheaper, I picked out my parts for my ultimate gaming rig and it would only cost me like $1500US plus shipping and no taxes.

And while we're talking about Dell, LET this be known to ALL of you DELL IS ANTI-GUN

I've had bad luck with a crappy andcheap $400 HP computer. Here my story on that ===I got a Hpcomputer for christmas , and it lasted 6 months and its motherboard fried.. I was so frustrated. The HP was intel centrino based, a 1.7ghz processor and onboard graphics. It was soOOOO slow! I now have an Amd based system, with a 2400+=2ghz, and an x850 pro 256mbradeon graphics card, that I had made for me by a small computer shop. This local shop also serviced this AMD computer when I did something stupid that caused it not to post. I brought it to the local shop and they fixed it within 3 days (because they fix computers on a first come first serve basis and I was like 10th). That was in 2003 and 2004 and that computer is still 100 percent reliable.

my towns almost completely sold out of 60gigs as well, Zellers has a few still but only because Zellers sucks. :P

well that was there plan with the price drop, the 80 gig is great deal now, and there are a bunch of bundles coming out with the 40, so it looks like PS3 will be having a very happy channukah :)

i went to zellars the other day i look at their games. theyhad antique games for like $50!!! Darkwatch and siren werer both $50! but the thing that shocked me the most was that they had 80 ig PS3 for $700!!!! No joke!! Also this is in canada by the way! Walmart has them for $500 due to the high canadian dollar and plus the price should have been $550 at max since the 80 gig just took a price drop.

I was absolutly shocked! I couldn't beleive it!

Aren't the US dollar and canadian dollar about equal??
