I freed up some hard drive space today and was wondering what game I should get. I already have BF2 but rarely play it anymore, I like shooting games I don't care if it's multiplayer or not as long as its good. New or old any suggestions?

Well, to get the best bang for your buck, tell us what your system specs are.

I'm not really sure, but my computer can handle most games as long as they are at minimum (I'm getting a new comp soon I think). I do know that my video card is only a ATI Radeon 9550. And I don't plan on buying the game so don't worry about price.

Well, if you want a good FPS to last you awhile, get Half Life 2. You'll spend a week playing through the game, then about another month just messing around with everything in the game.
And, then if you get bored of that, you can go online and download one of a million mods for it. Or make your own. Or get Garry's Mod and mess around for weeks.
Damn... I think you just gave me an idea for my next VGM article! Thanks!

OK , thanks I've heard a lot of good stuff about HL2. Do you think a 9550 will run it on min? If so, I'll start downloading it now.

Well, I used to run it on a 9600XT which is just a few steps higher in the food chain, and I could run it at 10X7 with Meduim settings. So, you should be okay.

DUKE NUKEM 3D YES! You can stick eDuke32 and high res textures on it too!
My laptop runs HL2 and its a Radeon 7550. I had a 9550, it'll do it good.
There's also the Unreal Tournaments, StarCraft, Painkiller, lots of stuff.

Oblivion is painful on a 9xxx series of lower. Other then, maybe, a 9800XT.

I didn't like Morrowind much, but it was fun to get naked and contract as many diseases as possible and annoy the townsfolk.
I second the UT thing. UT2k4 if possible though!

I'm in!
I just got "The First Decade" collection.
I must say that "Renegade" was better than I thought it would be. I never played it before, because it looked pretty mediocre.

you should download lemmings. i love getting those little bastards back into their home. but then when you screw up, you have to live with the fact that YOU killed thousands of lemmings. i lie awake at night tormented by their little souls. "why, MOGHARR? WHY??? How could you have thought sending a digger there would be a good idea??? you killed us all MOGHARR. YOU KILLED US!!!!"

Mogharr, have you ever played Humans? It's a Caveman-themed Lemmings variant and it's pretty awesome.

Yeah, it's a real thing. It was released by GameTek, along with two sequels.
