Can anyone recommend a PC game? [modified]

I've a new laptop and I think its only right that I buy myself a fun game to go along with it. The last game I purchased was Doom 2 so its been a while. I'd like a first person shooter game that I can get a lot of fun out of without too much effort. I just want to spend a half hour every now and then making things go boom. The laptop is a 2ghz dual core, 3gb ram, and I think an Nvida video card with 256mb ram. I played Call Of Duty a few years ago and really enjoyed that. I'd prefer a game set in the present or historical past rather than a fantasy world. Any recommendations? -- modified at 3:17 Tuesday 16th October, 2007 Thanks to everyone who's replied :)

Oh you rabid dog! I'll see your two boogers and warm gummy and I'm throwin' down 10 pieces of navel lint, three balls of earwax, and handful of dirty pocket crumbs! Oh, and I think I have a pair of 2's....

Get HL2 orange box with Portal. You'll be amazed at how fun it is. You'll be hearing a lot about it pretty soon since it just came out. http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=package&SubId=469&cc=US[^]

Buy the Orange Box from Steam. It has all the half life 2 games/stories and Team Fortress which is a team based multi player game. also it comes with a puzzle game called portal which is fun, funny and very mind bending in its use of 3d graphics.

OK, you said no fantasy but we'll just ignore that... BioShock, Orange Box (Half Life 2 Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2 and many more), Quake Wars, BattleField 2142 and give the Unreal Torunament 3 demo a go. And for something a bit more sedate but which I love; The Settlers.

Play Hitman - Blood Money[^]. From what you've asked in the post, and from your system configuration, this would be just perfect. The game just rocks. You play the role of an assassinator. :cool: [EDIT] Not to forget CounterStrike, but if only you plan on a LAN. Playing it with bots suck. [/EDIT]

If you haven't tryed it yet: just buy World of Warcraft. Just to see how is the biggest selling online game (and social phenomenon) ever. You will thank(or course) me later.

San Andreas maybe? You'll get old before you squeeze out all there is to it. The graphics are kinda crappy, but the feeling of freedom and power is unparalleled . Tons of violence and also very funny. An odd combination actually. But for me it is The Game.

I recommend against. It will ruin your social life and also you'll give them money on a monthly basis for that. It really is an ANTI-social phenomenon. -- modified at 4:07 Tuesday 16th October, 2007

Hehheheh... WoW is like a drug... it was hard to quit playing... harder (for me) than quit smoking - really.
