So I’ve been playing quite a few games on my Vista backed up with a 1 GB RAM and my new 7600GT GeForce.
So read down 
One I’ve played long ago and again tried was Need For Speed [NFS] : Most Wanted. Playing this game on my new card (old one was a GeForce MX 4000!) was a real new experience! The lighting, reflections, details to small things was awesome to look at! I turned on every detail I could, full FSAA [Full Screen Anti Aliasing], full everything, even VSync and the game hardly showed a difference in performance, with quality going above the roof 
Also, Most Wanted didnt show up in my Games auto detecting directory of Vista that I talked about here. Perhaps its too old ?
Then I decided to try Need For Speed [NFS] : Carbon which I got from Karthik. Its definitely better in detail and etc, like motion blur and drag lines than Most Wanted is, but its night mode racing spoils everything. If it were day it would have kicked ass! But sadly it isn’t and I hate its new interface, it looks like an 90′s movie or Austin Power’s … The cars though are very fine to handle, better than Most Wanted was.
Got Path Of Neo, the one I wanted to play very badly, and it turned out horrible! Hell, Enter The Matrix was far superior game than this. And perhaps it was worth being one of the costliest games ever made. Path Of Neo is for all Matrix fans out there, cause you decide what Neo does, like escape the Agents successfully at the start of the movie and then wait and see what would have happened if that was the case. You get to choose the pills too, like red one or go back as normal as ever, by taking the blue one.
Another one I tried was Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. This game is a good strategy / role-play. Its got good 3D interfaces and amazingly beautiful movie cut scenes. You can play as Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, you name it and you can find that person in the game. Of course, being me, I’d choose Spidey all the time. But yeah, this is based on the normal universe and not the alternate Ultimate universe as the title may suggest.
And at last of all, I tried Half Life 2. Wow is all that can define this game. Amazing First-Person-Shooter. Killing Combines, watching Alyx chatter and watching G-Man’s amazing face detail is a treat indeed! Plus the Source engine allows you to play and roll with the nature elements, you can lift, break, throw anything you fancy doing so. Of course, there’s the trademark Crowbar you get for free in this I hated the first part for its nauseating graphics but this one is definitely a must play for all gamers alike! I’ll perhaps check out the Episode One too. Also, Counter Strike: Source got installed as well but didn’t try it out as its just Multi-player…
Off all these, the most fun I’ve had yet was with Most Wanted. Driving against the sun above is a treat! The lights and the rainbow colors that appear due to the sun and the droplets of water on your screen due to rain are like, heavenly! Hehe, not that it matters cause am not gonna beat the blacklist again but I love changing the design of my cars and drive them out on the natural looking roads with leaves on them!

I’ll install Warcraft III (Reign of Chaos) and its expansion (The Frozen Throne) later to play DOTA online on Malaysia and Indonesia networks [Hamachi]
Oh and, Greenlightsabers has switched off erm, her lightsaber, to erm… save light. So her new blog is now here. [Green Goo Comics] Guess the green retained 
Congratz !
Looks like you are ( and will be ) having LOTS of fun playing such awesome games..
I’m stuck on my 512 fcuked-up RAM which considers itself a 64MB and acts like one and also without a graphics card..
Oh well… what it is, to be Preshit

Ugh, Path of Neo was horrible. It had so many bugs, I though it would be a killer game! Half-Life 2 and Marvel Alliance FTW! I want to play the second one so badly, it looks so cool, but I can’t! You know why.

You may wanna try Grand Theft Auto – San Andreas too (http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/). It’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. Nothing extraordinary on the graphic wizardry, but it has an excellent gameplay – with loads of attitude
It’s a lot of fun stopping cars on the street, dragging out the driver and stealing the car! Do pay attention on the radio on car fm too!
Btw, why are you not publishing full feeds on rss now? It’s much more convenient to read them in the feed aggregator itself.

Hi ,
Try some open source games, which if you like can mod yourself

PS. When you get the Nova Prospekt, !!!!SPOILER!!!! you’ll have to defend yourself from many entries of those pesky Combines. The last one is a killer. However, there’s an easy way to get past it. When you enter the fighting area, on your left there should be a doorway with that blue thingo blocking it, but there should also be a HEV and health recharger. Look up and you should also see a balcony. Grab some crates and stack them up with your Grav Gun then save. Grab all the machine guns and throw them up there too, now quickly make your way up to the balcony and set up your machine guns. Once you’re up there, let the machine guns do all the work. Also, guard yourself against grenades and Manhacks!
Just a tip incase you didn’t know.

Oops, sorry, I meant on the right. Just find a doorway with a blue blocky thingo with rechargers and that’s the right place.

none of those games work on mine. I played Condition Zero and that was too gud. I will like to try out Most Wanted and Carbon. I might try out Warcraft sometime in April though.
