First game I should play on my new PC?

[adammark]

I am getting the parts for my newest PC soon, what is the first game I should play? I was thinking either Dragon Age, Left for Dead 2, Dawn of War 2, or Arkam Asylum.

You need to play something that will put your new machine to the test :). Crysis, Crysis Warhead, GTAIV, ArmA 2, World in Conflict, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, etc. on ultra high maxed out making sure you run the benchmarks to see how your system stacks up. Then when you think your done run a few Futuremark tests :).

Definitely get dragon age, It is an excellent game, if you want to stress you system, then crysis is a good idea.

Crysis will stress God's computer

Depends if you want to test your computer or have a good gaming experience. The examples above are good for testing your computer but if you want a good gaming experience you should play Far Cry 2 rather than Crysis. GTAIV is epic on soooo many levels and will stress your system. Fallout 3, WiC, CoH, Empire: Total War, DiRT2, CoD:WaW should all give you a good gaming experience. Of course the ultimate test for bothj gameplay and performance can be found here. Have fun!

If you can run GTA4 on high details it's the best start, did that myself.

I'd recommend Crysis for the eye candy. Dragon Age is a pretty good looking game as well....that'd be my second recommendation.

If I have a high configuration PC then I will play the Total War.There are many games that I would play like Prince of Persia, Metal Gear, Need For Speed Shift.
But if the PC configuration is medium and don't have a graphics card then I would play the Need For Speed Most Wanted.

First game you should play on a new PC is a game that you couldn't run comfortably on your old system.

When i got my new PC, the first thing i did was Pump Crysis up to ultra high, then got the config for even higher graphics, and killed me some Koreans.

Download Space Invaders! Oh, better yet, solitaire! Not that crappy spider stuff either.

He wasn't the one who bumped it... but I still concur with the sentiment.
