Got the rig but no games yet. Looking for suggestions.

System spec's in sig....I figure I have enough power to play a game or two.

I'm more of a I like to play with modern technology kinda guy.

Now I'm thinking of buying a game but haven't decided which one. I kinda like the game play of things like Tomb Raider, Drakes Fortune etc. I used to like games like Unreal Tournament also.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like any game that requires 20 keystrokes and the mouse. Forward back left right isn't bad. Maybe a couple more strokes could be tolerated.

Anybody got some rec's for something that has some nice eye candy and would take advantage of my system.

Thanks,
Ken

Metro 2033, just released, is probably using the largest number of advanced rendering techniques out right now. It will bring your system to it's knees if you crank it up all the way.

It will be difficult to find simple, yet graphically advanced games. But some suggestions based on what you liked in the past:

Torchlight
Trine
Bioshock 1/2
Batman Arkham Asylum
Crysis and Crysis Warhead
Mirror's Edge

Stay away from Mirror's Edge IMO. It doesn't even look that good, and the gameplay, while novel, wore off for me after a few levels.
