    What are some good games to get these days?

    Savage is the game that's got me hooked lately. FPS crossed with RTS. free online play. good stuff. S2 Games for info. also a free demo there to check out. demo only has one race (out of 2 in retail) and 2 maps (out of like 10). gives ya a good feel for the game though before ya buy it.

    A good game for a low end pc??

    Savage is one of my favorite games out right now. its an online game (free to play!) that combines elements of RTS and FPS into one great game. one man on the team is a commander... he plays the game as an RTS, building a base, defenses, upgrading technology, etc... the rest of the team are...
