    !!!! !! !! ! !!!!!

    (You know, there's no need for more than one exclamation mark, or ALL CAPS)

    Anyway, hello and welcome. :D

    I guess I'll start out with a slightly different suggestion. Beyond Good & Evil. I have no clue whether it'll run on your graphics card (but I think it probably will), and it's not a "pure" spy game, though it incorporates a lot of elements from that genre and it's a bit of a general theme of the game (You play a reporter sneaking around and investigating... stuff (Better not say more cos I don't wan't to spoil it). It's also a kick-ass game with a brilliant story, good graphics, wonderful music & voiceacting and very varied gameplay.

    Cheers,

    Deus Ex. A pinnacle of gaming excellence. Should run on Intel graphics.

    Thanks, i will take into consideration the Caps use and ! use.

    The problem is that Beyond Good & Evil is a bit of fantasy isnt it? and it does not involve much action :eek: . I was looking for a Spy game, that involves shooting, and though, be realistic... something like Splinter Chaos.

    Remember that i have Intel integrated thing.

    Thank you very much for your attention, and sorry for being so demanding :p

    try --[PC] Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance-- it's a very good, somehow realistic game. A true masterpiece for espionage-spy game genre fan!

    DUDE, I'M SO EXCITED THAT YOUR EXCITED!!!!!!1!!111

    Seriously, it's refreshing. I think we need some more enthusiasm in these forums.

    If you like games with the "spying" element built into the game play, try Thief or Deus Ex. Also, any Metal Gear is good, as long as you don't mind some aggravation---it's very easy to tip toe too quickly/loudly and have to redo a huge complicated maze like level over from scratch.

    If you are looking for a spy game and don't care about picking up an older game I would recommend an old game called SpyCraft that was made by Activision.

    To give you an overview during the game play you use tools that were used by the CIA and FBI to examine clues to track down your enemy. It uses a number of FMV to communicate with your associates and advance the plot (A few of the actors are former CIA and KGB). A quick search of the Internet shows you can pick up the game for extremely cheap these days. (One sight showed Amazon.com selling it for a few dollars).

    Ooh, Deus Ex, how could I forget that? That's a classic.

    Hum, not sure if I'd call it fantasy. It's just as much science fiction. It's not the most realistic setting though, I'll give you that. Still, everyone (and I mean everyone) ought to play it, just because it's so **** awesome.
    And it does have lots of action as well as stealthy sneaking around.
