Good games to buy?

Well I was either going to buy a DS or some new games,but I'd just like to see some good pc games first.I open for all suggestions and my computer can handle anything you can throw at it at good settings.
Computer specs:
Windows vista(32-bit)
2.2ghz dual core processor
360gig hard drive
3gigs of ram
XFX Geforce 8600gt video card
Thanks

ewww. 8600GT? Why? That is not "Handle anything you can throw at it" hardware. That is lower Mid range card at best.

Either way, your post is sorely lacking in content so i suggest you get a PSP. Disgaea should suck away 100+ hours of your life no problem!

depends on the settings your running & the resolutions your running. (and what you consider good frame rates with said settings)

also what kinds of games do you prefer?

nemowolf, Back it down a tad. His card may not be that great, but that is no reason to slam him like that. Geez you would think we don't want new members around here.
Suggest some Games that he could play with his system or just move on to the next thread. Want to talk Can't handle anything you throw at it? I'M running an X800XT AIW.

I can handle crysis on medium settings with an average of 30+ fps,Imo that means I can handle all of todays games atleast medium settings
Im open for all game suggestions, as I enjoy all types of games.

LOL! Sorry but an 8600Gt isnt exactly Brag worthy.

World of Warcraft comes to mind as a recommendation, 10 million people would say its 'the' game to play.

Baldurs Gate and its expansions and sequel
Icewind Dale
Neverwinter Night and its expansions and sequel
Orange Box - TF2 mostly
BF 2/2142 - Any of the BF games are decent to good

I'll probably get the orange box if I can use garry's mod,I'll also buy Bioshock-PC.Yeah the 8600gt isn't brag worthy but its a great card(especially since I got it for 40$)that can handle any game thats currently out on medium settings.I'll upgrade when I deem an upgrade necessary,but for the moment I don't require a card that can take on crysis at ultra high.Plus card prices will drop soon.
