    I'm looking to get a new game or two, and I got a low budget. Can someone recommend good, cheap FPS that should run on the G2S? Also if there's anything beside F
    PS's worth noting, please put.

    Thanks!

    umm looks like you got a good graphics card based on your comp specification. ill recommend half life 2, css, and battlefield 2. they only cost 20 bucks each at most, but all popular. i would call it "classic"

    If you're into tactical FPS, I'd recommend rainbowsix: raven shiel + athena sword + iron wrath (I tried rainbowsix: vegas demo and sadly it's nowhere like traditional rainbowsix anymore). The should come in gold editon now for couple bucks if you're lucky to find it in game store, or $9.99 on www.direct2drive.com

    SWAT4 is also a good tactical FPS game.

    Hmm. In terms of FPS for PC if your on a low budget, I would just download steam. They have great FPS' on there, and as long as you don't hack, you don't have to worry about anything.

    Favorite FPS would prob. be CSS on PC (19.99)
    Day of Defeat: Source (if your into WWII) (29.99)
    Team Fortress 2 (long awaited game) (??? prob. 30-40)

    I'm more interested in FPS's without that much puzzle-solving and thought; I'm more into beating the crap out of everyone :D

    Far Cry is a standard fps. And it's just chock full of tropical island awesomness.
