    I am preparing a review of one of the new Dell Vostro laptops with an 8400m GS. One thing I have noticed people request from previous reviews are gaming benchmarks. I plan to use FRAPS to take the measurements, my only question is, what games do you want to see?

    Some considerations are...

    I've edited the list to reflect some of your choices...

    Stalker - Per Request
    Prey - Doom 3 Engine
    HL2: Lost coast
    Call of Duty 2
    Oblivion
    FEAR
    Supreme Commander - Tough Game to run, it may not work...
    Company of Heroes
    Call of Juarez - DX10

    I'd like to keep the list around 5 or so just due to time, are there any of these that you would prefer over others?

    Thanks for the feedback, you will hopefully see a review in mid August.

    Well I see a lot of votes for STALKER so I'll add that to the list as well.
