FEAR - Incredible game. The AI is insane and im only playing on default. I have never been out-flanked, or manuevered before. But my first few minutes in that game taught me a lesson. The graphics, are very nice, i would put it on par or slightly above DIII. Its hard to put a finger on the physics. The physics engine is both great and horrible. You cant move stuff like you can in HL2, but when you are firing, it kicks up dust, leaves holes in walls. If you catch a locker or something in the fire the door swings as bullets hit it. the storyline is very good, but what do i know, im still plowing through Armachan HQ.

QIV - Haven't played it, but i heard it is a worthy sequel to QIII

Far Cry - Wow! Talk about a sleeper game, no one saw it coming. The AI isn't really the best, some of the guys are just plain dumb in fact. The storyline is pretty nice. The graphics are gorgeous, especially with the HDR effects. I think it is in need of a sequel or an update with improved physics (In hear like most games you run and its like you are gliding, in FEAR you actually sway slightly as you take steps) and greater image detail.

About your first post, haha...well DIII is a very good game, and is very scary. However, after a while you realize how linear it is. It actually does have a decent story line. The last boss is fun, but if you figure out the way most people beat the last boss, it is extremely easy. In fact you can get through it easily without dying.

For you system, to really appreciate some of these games you are going to need some more horsepower. Especially FEAR, without shadows its going to be just plain dull. I would highly advise not to invest in anothe AGP card. Start selling your current equipment and get some combo deals and what not. You wont be sorry.
