    Hey people..

    just wondering what games you guys are playing? Obviously eye candy is important so let me hear about what looks good as well as general game play & how well its runs (frame rates would be good it you got them).

    Just finished Mass effect 2 and CODMW2 ran like charms and were both mad fun. Neither of them lagged and were treats to look at. CODMW2 actually makes you feel like you're in on it..adrenaline was pumping!!

    I've run Fallout 3, Starcraft 2, L4D2, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War/Dawn of War 2, Dirt 2. I have yet to throw anything at it that it won't run at roughly 30+ FPS, it may be lower settings than my m17x was but for the size you can't beat it. I even ran a lot of those on my 1080p 42" LCD.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 works good with medium settings, but hesitates with high settings.

    Team Fortress 2 works good on max settings.

    Yes, starcraft 2 ran on high with about 28fps in the campaign, dawn of war 2 ran almost maxed out and no lag, and anno 1701 runs perfect maxed out. Crysis also ran fine on medium settings but had problems due to crysis being full of it. Honestly I havent had any game giving me issues due to unplayabilipty.
