    Ok I have been away from pc games for a while.

    Last PC game I played was Warcraft III.

    I have had consoles since then so I have played those games on those systems.

    Now I am interested in games that I can play on this system that I might have missed.

    I am looking for maybie 10 games that build up as to what I have missed.

    I am not interested in Crysis type things because I know I can't run them. Only games this system will run well and are great games.

    ideas please. Also the order I should play them?

    I am trying to figure out where to buy Command and Conquor 3. I am tempted by WoW but don't know if I want to dedicate that sort of time.

    I believe CoH was probably 'Company of Heroes'...

    And you can't find C&C3??? Or you're trying to decide between Amazon, eBay or a brick-and-mortar store? It's relatively easy to find online for purchase, and it's still very common in brick-and-mortar stores in the U.S....

    And from your reply, I take it that you're looking for PC exclusives...

    World in Conflict (RTS)
    Team Fortress 2 (Team-based FPS)
    Battlefield 2/2142 (Team-based FPS...slightly older)
    Demigod (Online RTS...try it, especially if you liked Warcraft 3)
    Sins of a Solar Empire (RTS)
    X-3 (Space sim w/ economy)
    Civilization 4 (TBS)
    Galactic Civilizations 2 (TBS)

    You can play almost anything on a 3650 at 1280x800. Crysis is like the ultimate hardware killer, not the average PC game. Enjoy :)

    Far Cry 1 (free on gamershell.com)
    Orange Box
    Quake 4
    Doom 3
    FEAR
    FEAR 2
    Dead Space
    Prey
    Prince of Persia
    Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Legend, Underworld

    You can easily play Crysis on high resolution, if you turn down graphics.
