    So I just got my M14x yesterday (installed ssd and working great). I have SWTOR and am enjoying that as well. I have a ps3 so I do my BF3 and FPS games on that. I was wondering what other games I should check out. Rift?

    Should i just enjoy SWTOR until Diablo 3 and GW2?

    obviously I enjoy MMOs but any suggestions would be great.

    I have SWTOR but I just played the Tera beta this past weekend and I gotta say that game blew me away. It's an action MMO, it's not a click an enemy and press skills until the enemy is dead. It plays like a 3rd person shooter where you have to actually swing at an enemy or aim at one to hit it.

    I was getting around 30-40 FPS on average and occasionally dipped to the 20s but that's because I hooked it up to my flat screen and played with an Xbox 360 controller.

    Game I currently (and plan to) play:

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    Skyrim
    Minecraft
    BF3
    Portal 2
    Borderland

    However, I recommend Skyrim if you're a RPG fan and want have tons of time to kill :p , or Minecraft, Deus Ex also good if you like a combination of First persion Open world with stealth element into it.

    ive played almost every good game out right now and im still left wanting more games, but, PRE ORDER MASS EFFECT 3 AND GET BF3 FREE :D, just sayin, but i do recommend these games

    Skyrim
    Age of Empires 2 and 3
    GRID
    Hard Reset
    Orcs Must Die
    Driver
    Crysis 1 and 2
    Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3
    Half Life 1 and two and the episodes
