    Okay well usually the best games arent the most costy...

    I would like some suggestions:
    1)Free/really cheap games that looks good and are fun, multiplayer pref. FPS, Strat games,
    also if ya can suggest:
    2)games that can test out my laptop.. good graphics and good gameplay.. Fairly cheap/free... I like those FPS or strategy games, I'll try a RPG i guess or simulation.. but must have great graphics

    There aren't much, All games retail for at least $40 for the game, then monthly payments even, as Battlefield 2, WoW, the up and coming Age of Empires 3, etc. are good graphic intense games.

    Can't run from the Pay 2 Play scheme now-a-days, its gonna be like this - servers aren't cheap to run :(

    If you want free, just download the demo's for games like Doom 3, Half-Life 2, Fear (new game coming out). This is the best way to test your video card as these are some of the newer/newest games on the market.
