Ten great PC games that your computer will run

Sam Naylor writes: A popular criticism of gaming on the PC is the cost of upgrading your machine to meet the specifications for all the latest games. What people who say this tend to forget, though, is there are plenty of games you can play on your PC without needing a hulking beast of a computer to run.

The article even includes system requirements!

Even my computer can run these :)

Twizlex6244d ago

Disagrees for that? I guess people think your computer is way better than you make it out to be.

Jinxstar6244d ago

My PC can run crysis on high... So yeah...

tdrules6244d ago

cool, i can run it on enthusiast with 4x anti aliasing

stevenhiggster6244d ago

And my willy's 24 inches long and 12 inches around...

Timesplitter146244d ago

I can run it on More-Than-Maximum with INFINITE anti-aliasing

my computer runs crysis and finishes it, cleans my room and does the dishes, while i am sleeping, the night before i have even turned on the power.

... so yeah.

Actually, my PC can't run Fallout. The game's too dated or I dunno... Same for Grim Fandango

Maybe it doesn't work with Vista. It's such a shame.

But I've heard there's something called DOSbox that can run these games on newer computers

sukru6244d ago

It's a nice little virtual machine that will let you play your favorite DOS games.

And there are many freeware/shareware DOS games out there that you can download from the web.

For example give Tyrian 2000 a try (it has been re-released as freeware). It's one of the best shooters of all time.

Also try scummvm program for graphic adventure games of old, like the lucas arts games like Grim Fandango.

sukru6240d ago

You cannot use SCUMMVM for Grim Fandango. The game uses a completely different (i.e.: 3D) engine. Same for the escape from the monkey island.

Check:

Btw, both Grim Fandango, and SCUMMVM are good thing. Just they don't work together.

Snatcher6244d ago

Plants vs. Zombies, Braid and World Of Goo.

Matpan6243d ago

Gems!

Great article. Good selection!

Monkey Island FTW :)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing42d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9242d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit42d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing42d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9242d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
