    Hey guys, what do you guys recommend for my new np5790 laptop that i just ordered "can't wait for it to arrive".

    Im thinking one of these: i know they are all great but i just wanna buy one for now.

    1)FEAR
    2)Company of heroes
    3)STALKER
    4)Counter strike Source

    and I'm definitely gonna get these upcoming games:

    - Hellgate london
    - Crysis
    - Clive barker's Jericho


    and can someone suggest me a damn good RPG other than the new Oblivion and WoW

    thanks

    im pretty sure my new NB can handle those games, maybe not so great on the upcoming ones but definitely the ones i listed in the poll.

    thanks for the suggestion grateful, ive seen the graphics and ive read the reviews, its seems pretty intense but everyone says that "it takes a while to actually enjoy the game".....dont really get what that means.....to me you either like it or you dont.

    I would get FEAR. I loved the single player and the multiplayer is pretty fun although if you are new to fps or if you have hard time playing on a laptop keyboard (like me) you will get destroyed.

    In which case you'll love FEAR. The single player mode is great, but if you plan to do mainly online play, then just download FEAR Combat because it's free :D

    FEAR Combat is the multiplayer portion of FEAR. You don't need to buy FEAR to download FEAR Combat. So basically, when you buy FEAR, all you're getting is the single player campaign because the multiplayer component is offered for free.

    So to quote you, you "can just download it and play straight away" :)
