PC games. Want something that will run well on my system, but probably not super old. Good single player a MUST.

2.0Ghz Centrino, Geforce 6800go, 2GB RAM

I like first person RPGs, Privateer type games, some strategy games, and first person shooters that actually have a plot and aren't repetitive shoot everything that moves drills.

Not sure what a 6800 g(o???) is but here are my recs:

Half-life 2 (A must FPS and you'll love it!), Age of Empires II (super old but great RTS) Neverwinter Nights I (great RPG)

Have fun!

HL2 I have. It was good. Probably getting orange box when I get my internet, as I haven't played ep:1 or 2 yet, and heard portals is good as well.

I have played both AoE and NWN and they were good, but not *quite* my style. I might consider them though.

6800go just designates the mobile version. I think it's similar to but maybe not quite as good as the GT. Don't know for sure, it's hard to keep track of all those gt/gs/gts/le/xt versions.

Perhaps you should be more specific.

i enjoyed SW: KOTOR(1 and 2), but they seemed relatively short. Graphics are decent and storyline is interesting.

I have about the same preferences as you have.

Oldies: Heroes of Might and Magic III and IV, Deus Ex, Civ II and III.

New Heroes of Might and Magic V + expansions, Freelancer (and all mods)

Well, for FPS games I really liked the campaign and overall gameplay in Farcry.

Yeah, I heard good stuff about it. Didn't like the feel of it on my old computer, but it wasn't running smooth. I should get a demo or something and see how it plays now.

F.E.A.R. was alot of fun, but a bit repetitive. Great effects, eye-candy, and interesting story really helped make up for that, though.
+1 for FarCry.

Pretty much the only game I play these days is Medal of Honor Allied Assualt - Spearhead.

The multiplayer is great and it's good enough to be cool looking without being too over-the-top.
