For me Web of Shadows is underrated , It's a sweet game. Not the best ever but definitely worth a play through. You might like Shattered Dimensions too. I personally didn't. Those two are great games.

Care to name a few ? Well, TV usually means you'll be sitting a decent distance back, so assuming this; -Like previously said, reading text is awkward and difficult. You'll have to zoom in the page a lot, which means less stuff on the page. -You'll need extension USB cables from your mouse and keyboard. -If you don't want cables running over the floor, you'll probably want a wireless M/KB, which are horrible unless you get expensive ones (even then, they're not as good as cabled). -Or, if you don't want cables over the floor, you may want to use a gamepad, which are horrible for most games. They're great for racing games (so are large TVs) but horrid for anything that requires aiming. -Similar to the first point, anything that requires attention to detail (e.g. FPS where you may need to spot enemies at range), this will be more difficult sitting far away from a TV. And if you plan on sitting a close distance from large TV, that's just as bad as you'll be overwhelmed by an unnecessarily large screen. Ahh I see now. I would probably be around 10 feet away. I use my PS3 controller for my PC gaming and it wouldnt reach my couch. Hmm. Good points you've raised. what should my budget be around then ??? I'm pretty sure 500 isn't enough and any more $$ then that I'd need to save for a month or 2. Is 700-800 a good budget with monitor and everything ?
A TV is technically possible, but i personally find it very exhausting to read text from a TV for an extended period of time. Perfectly fine for movies and gaming though.

Well hopefully , I'd only use it for 2 or 3 hours a day pending with school and work.
Just search Newegg for computer monitors that also have TV tuners built in. I have one at work and it has worked out great.

My tv is slowly dying (its a cheapie tv and had its run) and my laptop has been running extremely slow for the past 2 weeks or so. I have a huge feeling its dying too. (And I just checked out the Blue Screen code and theres something wrong with the HDD so). I said when my laptop dies , I'll build my first PC. Welp the time is coming and along with the tv I had the thought. Would a nice tv be a suitable monitor for a custom built pc ?? Wasn't sure figured I ask here.
I , personally , am looking forward to Far Cry 3 , Doom 3 Remaster , NFS Most Wanted (even if its extremely lacking compared to the original) , And I believe thats it for me.
Well Rocksteady made Batman good and those games were notoriously bad before them. So yeah it's gonna be good. IIRC they are using a similar fighting system to batman games.
