In a few months I will be getting a EVGA 01G-P3-N945-LR GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card (yes,I had to Copy and Paste that) So I would like to know some recommendations for games, my current collection is:
Star wars battlefront II
Warcraft III + expansion
Star wars empire at war +expansion
Dawn of war soulstorm
Neverwinter nights Diamond
Zoo tycoon 2 + endangered animals
Sims 2 + plus a bunch of expansions
Sims 3
Supreme commander
Star wars republic commando
Lego star wars I&II
Sim city societies
Elder scrolls IV

And a ton of others that I don't have the time to count, but I prefer simulation, Strategy, and RPG.

I'll guess you miss Mass Effect.

Well, the first games I bought for my new computer [incidentally, with the same graphic card] were The Witcher, Saints Row 2 and The Orange Box. And all of them were awesome.

Also, don't buy Sims 3; It's actually worse than the second one.

EDIT: Right, the Mass Effect. I played on a xbox, butt get it too. ^

NWN2 with it's two expansions. Skip the Original game Campaign, it's bland as Durkon's brains.

Simulation: it's a bit old, but I suggest you to try X-Wing Alliance. It's graphics have aged well.

Well actually my recommendation would be, if you haven't actually bought the card yet (since it will be a few months before you get it), you should get something like an ATI 4670 instead. At least on newegg they are the same price as the card you listed and they are a lot more powerful.

Of course if this card is being handed down to you then its a moot point.


As for games, I would also highly recommend Mass Effect.
There is also Dawn of War II.

You should buy Fallout 3

Correction: You must buy Fallout 3 :smalltongue:


And maybe even Crysis depending on your computer and your tastes in FPS.

Maybe you should consider the KotoR games, they are really great.
