    Hmm, games I've played...

    Almost all games released prior to 2002. Oblivion, all Total War series, almost all Splinter Cell series (except for Double Agent and Chaos Theory), almost all Rainbow Six series (except for the oldest one and Vegas), almost all strategy games (except for Tiberium Wars).

    Battlefield 2142, for gameplay, and graphics, and if you have an x-fi sound card, you're going to enjoy it even more.
    Company of heroes is pretty awesome too.
