    Well my laptop should be here next week, and I want to get some games for it. I already have Battlefield 2142 and CS:Source. Any others I should look at? Laptop is in my sig if you need my specs.

    Company of Heroes is one of the most praised games to come out recently, might be worth a look (there's a demo of it available).

    Battlefield 2 with the 1.4 Patch, is stable with most bugs fixed and its still a great game.

    I forgot about FEAR, need to pick that up as well. COH didn't really appear to me , I don't really like games like that.

    Medieval 2: Total War comes out in a few weeks, and judging by the demo, it's gonna be incredibly sweeeeeeet.
    But if you're strictly looking for games out right NOW, I suggest Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Your machine can easily handle it, but might not be so great on a 14" screen...

    I've enjoyed Oblivion, Fear, and BF2. How's BF 2142? It looks a lot like BF2 are there any other wow changes?
