When my new laptop get here im obviously getting crysis
a few of the other games i was thinking of getting were:
Spore
A.P.B (when its out)
and hl1 hl2
any others you can recommend or warn me about?

Far Cry: its dated, but awesome! Made by Crytek.

Far Cry 2: not sure you will like it, you will have to research on it a bit. Made by Ubisoft.

Crysis Warhead: expansion of the Crysis game, made by Crytek Budapest.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2: great game for the multiplayer, if you like tactical gameplay. The singleplayer was horrible in my opinion. Made by DICE.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: I suggest you avoid this game at all costs! Buy it on a console if you get it at all.

Counterstrike: Source: great game to get your aim and trigger finger seasoned to perfection.

Battlefield 2: great tactical game, dated, but awesome! 64 players, aircraft, tanks, the whole shibang.

Battlefield 2142: similar to the other BF games, but set in the future.

That's about it!

Hopefully you were looking just beyond FPS's, at which point the list of course grows, but I wont bother if you're not interested.

My personal PC favorites:

Far Cry 1 (not the same without epic 2004-6 multiplayer)

Monkey Island 1,2,3, and the new episodes (not 4 and 5)

Knights of the Old Republic 1,2

GTA 2,Vice City, San Andreas, IV

World in conflict

Sid Meier's Pirates

Bioshock 1 (not the greatest gameplay, but very beautiful)

Lots more

Age of Empires 3
StarCraft 2 (next month)
If you want HL games, get the Orange Box
Unreal Tournament 3
BF Bad Company 2

spore and apb arent exactly first person shooters are they. unproductive comment, i know. but still where were you getting at there?

@OP / DFDROPDEAD
i very much enjoyed the following games recently:
- fear 2 (its not really scary but the gameplay mechanics work damn well and the graphics might surprise you) and
- portal (if you get the orange box, is it already in there? i dont know. if its not reconsider that one cause its way too short to justify the normal price)

also if you put win7 on that laptop be sure to check out the built in chess program chess is more fun than i thought.

Not sure about that Portal question you asked, but the game is usually really cheap on Steam.

Get the Orange Box from Valve. It has Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half Life, HL:1, and HL:2 for a really low price. I'd also recommend Mass Effect 1 & 2, along with Dragon Age: Origins. The Witcher is an awesome PC game as well.

im up for any games really ive got orange box on ps3 but ill get it for pc to
does crysis come with the sandbox on the disc or do i have to purchase it seperatly if so where from and for how much ?
thanks for the suggestions ill take a look now

Sandbox can be downloaded for free at crymod.com. To use the sandbox, you either need the trial version or full version of Crysis Wars.

ok thanks

Company of Heroes is my favorite RTS ever made, I recommend that.

must have!!!!!!: GTA IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get it rite now!!!! also bioshock, SC conviction, fallout 3, oblivion, and mass effect 2. i know some may disagree but i rly did not like crackdown 1 but 2 looks.... ok

i say Just Cause 2, a 3rd person shooter with an extremely big open world that looks quite beautiful and is very fun to explore. I just recently bought it off Steam the other day and i love it. I've hardly even bothered on any of the missions yet cause im still enjoying exploring the place with the trusty (and reproductive) parachute.

Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 is very good games.
Rise and fall Civilisation at war (Dated but stil good)
Call of Duty 4
And as some others mentioned:
Nad Company 2
Modern Warfare 2
Company of Heroes
GTA IV
Counter Strike Source (If the could fix the f**ing lag I have experienced since the patch)
Crysis Warhead
