Need a PC game suggestion!

[geno]

I just got my box running right, specs are as follows

Celeron 2.6 (had to cut corners somewhere, I'm broke)
512 MB PC 3200 (to leave the door open for that P4 2.4C I'm planning on getting)
Abit IS7 (same note as above)
Radeon 9700 Pro

trying to find a good game for like 30 bucks or less to mess around with. I haven't been current with PC gaming since my old system was a 4 year old P3-850 (for sale BTW )

I'm thinking of Wolfenstein or Medal of Honor, but what are some other good games for cheap that'll be fun to break my new box in with?

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. Should be nice and cheap, as it debuts at $20 Lots of fun too.

Heck, I've seen both Serious Sam's bundled for $20 at RatShack. Pick those up for some mindless fun.

I heard that GTA Vice City is a freakishly funny game.

Desert combat, mod for 1942, better than the actuall game and free to download if you have regular 1942

 

[deerslayer]

I would also suggest Battlefield 1942, and immediately download Desert Combat.

I don't know if this will be under $30 though, I can't remember how much it is now.

Day of Defeat is pretty fun ($20). I believe it also comes with a HL key which you can use for Counter-Strike and other HL mods.

Ended up getting MOH:AA, 30 bucks, heard good stuff, seems fun so far

 

[jfall]

Moh:aa is a great game, get the spearhead expansion pack when your done too

j/k

bf1954 (ok 19something) is pretty good

 

[secretanchitman]

Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast.

Bah, should have saved your money for Call of Duty, lately I've been anti-MOH:AA. 2015 isn't as good as I though.

I recommend:
Postal 2
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (Free Download)
Battlefield 1942 (Helluva great game)

 

[Yossarian]

be sure to check out the Call of Duty demo, it's awesome.

 

[Tab]

Tron 2.0, its fscking hiliarous if you ever done any coding and you know what they are talking about.
