    I just got an Asus G73 XT1 and I need some good games for this insanely fast machine. I'm getting Black Ops just for Combat Training mode so I can practice keyboard FPS controls, I've been considering Rift and Dragon Age 2 (played the PC demo for that and ran max settings with Direct x11 and had no lag :D). What are some good PC games I should buy?

    If you're into rhythm games, then stepmania is the way to go. Infinite songs to keep you busy.

    For platforming, try I Wanna Be The Guy. it's a crazy hard sidescrolling game.

    Also, touhou for vertical shooters.

    Wait do NOT buy Black Ops for PC. Terrible idea. that game has no optimization behind it. It sends your CPU to 100% and barely even uses your GPU. Runs like total crap on almost every machine. I swear Crysis 2 runs at a higher frame rate than Black Ops for me (btw I highly recommend Crysis 2). not to mention Blops is buggy as hell on PC. treyarch smoked a lot of crack while making the PC version.

    If you like mmo's rift would be wise, for FPS go for tf2 or bfbc2.

    That's true, but are bots necessary to practice? Can't you just play a few matches or some of the campaign? Well, anyways, Counter Strike: Source has bots :p

    Two games: metro 2033; one of the best, most engrossing storylines in a fps you'll ever play; and Starcraft 2; that needs no explanation here. Also world of goo is fun on Mac/pc so your whatever computer it was should be fine.

    Oh btw my Mac is much faster ;)

    And one last thing, cod4 on pc/mac is 5x better than any call of duty trust me.

    TF2 has a really good single player practice with bots!
