iainl Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks to a combination of all sorts of stuff, I've gone from my ancient rustbucket to a 4Gb E7300 with an ATI HD4670, so joining the modern era at last. But all my PC games at the moment are just looking like their ancient, ugly selves but running smoothly at my LCD's 1680x1050 resolution. Which is quite nice in its own way, but hardly the point. Given that I'm broke, however, I don't want to go spending money (well, obviously). So what should I be getting free from the Internet to see what this thing can do? Morrowind is ready to be patched up with umpty-thrumpty graphics amendments, but as I've not finished Oblivion on the 360 (I just recently got back into it from the start, so that'll be a while, too). Rome: Total War finally runs nicely too, should I ever figure out what I'm doing. I've just remembered since starting this that I've got the PC version of Halo 2 lying around somewhere, as well, and having finished 3 on the 360 last night that could be an option. But really - any free shiny suggestions would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutter Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Free? You could always download demos Cheap? Check out Steam... they seem to always have deals on lots of newer titles. I've really enjoyed World of Goo lately on my PC and that's only $9.99, but that's hardly gonna rock your polygons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magness Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 GameTap has a fair selection of pretty recent PC titles and several are free each week. Theres also the demos - I'd say go for demos of newer titles like FEAR2 or whatever looks interesting to you. Other freebies would be most of the MMO's: If there's one that looks interesting to you, try them out. Almost all MMO's have a free client download and free trial period (10-14 days usually). Oh - and maybe check on some friend's/LCVG'ers Steam gifts. I'd bet someone still has some spare gift titles from an Orange Box purchase and such... Have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainl Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks guys. Demos would be fine. Perfect, really, as I'm not exactly short of things to occupy myself - I just wanted to see what kind of pretty graphics the box could manage, and if there was anything that would impress a jaded 360 owner.
