I'd reccomend TF2, it's multiplayer, it's got an easy to choose character selection (Protip: go with HEavy or Soldier if it's your first time) and it's just generally fun. Obviously the Half Life series is a must, and Portal is probably one of their best. Basically: assuming you have enough money to afford a new game (50-60$) get the Orange box. It has EVERYTHING you'll need. |

Muckraker Posts: 268 Joined: 6 May 2008 | I might just pick up the orange box, is it really graphic intensive? My comp is OK the only thing going for it is the 3gigs of ram Toshiba decided to pack in there. I can't even run the Witcher -_- |

Paperboy  Posts: 35 Joined: 27 Jan 2008 | From what I understand, HL2 engine games (with the exception of the poorly optimized Vampire the Masquerade) run quite well on systems with lower specs. I don't think you'll have any trouble whatsoever running these games. They are much less graphically intense than the Witcher. I just did a quick search to see what the minimum requirements for the orange box were. Here you go. I think it'll run perfectly on your machine. |

I would then recommend Day of Defeat: Source (the best WWII multiplayer shooter of all time) and Counter-Strike 1.6 or Source. CS 1.6 (the original) is one of the most skill heavy multiplayer shooters and the sequel, Source, is a bit more noob friendly. Both versions are good in their own way though. |

As the subject suggests I have never played a Valve game in my life, I just never saw the point in ANOTHER shooter. So I was getting that "I gotta pwnz d3m N0000bs" feeling and I wanted to know which game I should get. Counter Strike source looks good
Any suggestions?
