    My vote goes to Bio shock.

    I read the preview months ago and was impressed. I guess most ppl on NBR are impressed too judging by the threads today! go search round there NBR there are some nice screen shots around somewhere! :p

    And as you can see from my sig, my notebook will never b able to play bioshock :(

    flight simulator x will run poorly on your computer. it runs poorly on most computers. it has really high demands, so save your money on that one.

    Drop the WoW immediated due to the monthly charges, if money is a deciding factor. Bioshock look good, but I like games with replayability, So I'm not certain.

    damn man some of these games are so huge that only 5 of them will fill a 60 GB harddisk, where are the times where a 600mb stored a good game. Now even demos are massive.

    I would get WOW. For $20 you can get the game and play for a month, then if you don't like it you can get something else and not lose that much money. But if you enjoy it you can play it for hundreds of hours. Plus with the 8600gt you can be sure that you can run it at max settings probably at native resolution (i know you could at 1440x900 because i do at 1280x800 with a weak 7600). I have Bioshock and other than cranking up the difficulty I don't think it will offer much replayability, it seems pretty linear to me (alhtough I've only played 2hrs).

    WoW = The Devil. It has completely and totally ruined lans. At least for my community. Scheduling times to play so you can raid just ruins gaming in my opinion.

    well... over here where i live their is a place called "tianguis" and there you can buy " juegos piratas" which means not original games

    and it cost 50 pesos($4-5 USD) each disc of the game...but i dont know if this games have online enabled (cuz its a copy)

    ex. the sims 2 = 200 pesos($19.99)... im gonna buy that in the "tianguis"
