I'm a PC gaming noob. Been a console user all my life and only used my PC to play an occasional emulatar game here and there


copping a new PC soon with a $400 2GB Nvidia GTX680 card.


I'm looking for games to show off that hardware (preferably games I don't already own on PS3/360)


I'm gonna skip BF3 since I already own it on PS3 and it took me forever to get those few jet points I have. Definitely gonna cop BF4 on PC tho (when does that drop btw?)


Also.

Spoiler

I'm aware that I'll be able to download single player games for free but I'm assuming that anything that has multiplayer will have to be bought retail, correct?, and someone explain how Stream works and what exactly is it please

So yeah, I need a list of games to check out that will blow me away visually so this card won't be a waste of investment. Thanks in advance

 

[Kodie]

will check it out

You should also check out the Idle Thumbs podcast episode about it. They can't help gushing about that game. I think this is the first one where they talk about it: Idle Thumbs > Shows > Idle Thumbs > Episodes > Passive But Deadly


Really makes me want to play it but I haven't had the chance to even purchase it. It's on my steam wishlist. Do I have you on Steam? I'm sure I do.

If you really want to show off your graphics, get Witcher 2.

I think I am about to hang up my mouse and keyboard when it comes to gaming.

I just don't have the time for gaming unless its on a handheld anymore

Anyone interested in a steam account with 300+ games let me know. I will let it go cheap.
