MMOs are about the biggest time sink one can get in a game I guess. Strategy games like Rome Total War and Medieval 1&2 Total War as well due to their replayability factors. Pretty much any game that has a heavy active mod community in fact can be a time sink. Kinda depends on what type of game (genre) interests you.

What have you already played? What *kind* of games?

i guess you could play Oblivion on 'low' ... i got 1250 hours out of it
--Gothic2 ... sixty hours or so

HL2 is good for more than a few hours . . .
--then there is NWN and Morrowind .. and B&W ... and VtMB if you missed it is the original Source Engine.

If you are stuck at moms for a month, buy a 1950p - they are pretty cheap now -
.... you can play ANY game ...

(I have a x1900xtx at school) so investing in a new card is not top investment to me. And the mobo is AGP,

I'm not into Rome total war, strat games just were never the same after SC. Which i guess is an option LOL..

Civ 4 sounds good, But i'm not sure if it'll Run

1950p is also AGP
-it might make a nice present for your mom ... or you could return it within 30 days if she isn't satisfied and eat the $10 restocking fee.

ANYWAY ... Civ 4 requirements:

http://planetcivilization.game...?act=printnews&id=1860

Minimum Specs Required:


* Windows 2000/XP with SP1 or higher

* Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon CPU with at least 1.2 GHZ

* 256 MB RAM

* 64 MB graphics card with Hardware T&L (GeForce 2/Radeon 7500 or better)

* DirectX 7 compatible soundcard

* DVD-ROM drive

* 1.7 GB free hard disk space

not at all steep ... even a Radeon 7500 can manage it

heck ... it even meets the "recommended"

[a]
Recommended Specs:


* Windows XP with SP1 or higher

* Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon CPU with at least 1.8 GHz

* 512 MB RAM

* 128 MB graphics card with DirectX 8 support (pixel- and vertex shaders)

* DirectX 7 compatible soundcard

* DVD-ROM drive

* 1.7 GB free hard disk space[/a]

What *other* games do you like to play and how up-to-date are you?

VtMB is a true classic - the "Vampire Deus Ex" - and is only $9.95 on Steam ... probably will take up many of your evenings as an awesome RPG/FPS hybrid with a good story and combat. It is earliest Source engine so will run nearly as well as HL2 on your temporary rig [good]. Make sure you get the latest official patch and community patches.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic!

I love going through it again and again. God...such an awesome game.

BG2. NWN1.

Agreed, NWN1 = unending supply of free player made modules (many are far better than most commercial efforts).

Baldurs Gate and Icewind Dale series with NeverWinter Nights (all expansion packs for each game in each series) and Temple of Elemental evil all in one box.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

Not on PC but try Final Fantasy XII for PS2...I blew about 150 hrs on that thing -- and I'm still not finished.

 

[Shadowknight]

Vampire: Bloodlines
Planescape Torment

Either should keep you busy for a little bit.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

KOTOR or Morrowind. Both awesome games - the second isn't linear, so lots to do.
