So it is three days until FedEx delivers my new laptop (damn bastards get Friday-Sunday off) and I already have plans to fill it up with gaming goodness.
Just a run down, the laptop will be an HP Pavilion with an Intel 2 Duo Core 2.53ghz, 4gb of DDR3 memory, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics with 1gb dedicated memory, and will run with Windows 7 Professional x64
Right off the bat I will install Tropico 3, DCS:Black Shark, Lock on Flaming Cliffs, Silent Hunter 3, SH4 Gold and Company of Heroes.
From this paycheck I have enough to get one game. I asked in my "New Computer" thread what some good games would be.
So far I have been recommended:
Crysis. (I would get the Maximum Edition which has both the Original and the Expansion)
ARMA II (Wary about it being buggy)
Empire: Total War (No one suggested it, but I like the Total War Series, and I have trouble getting my steam edition of Medieval 2 to work on Windows 7
)
So to help me choose which to get, I decided to make this thread, with its attached poll. The options are all self explanatory.
