Morning Discussion

Well, we've got a new post for talking about it over here. But apparently once you go multi(player), you can't go back. Also, the Shack writers covered both the marketing of GTA4 and the marketing which has been fundamentally driven by gaming. Pretty neat!
If you need some variety from your grand theft coma, this weekend should premiere a pretty big change for Team Fortress 2 on the PC, with maps, medics and more, oh my. Plus, it's good to see the MMOs strengthening their non-Warcraft niches.
I need suggestions for games to break it in with - aside from Crysis!
Keep in mind I'm upgrading from an Athlon XP 2600 so I've been out of the loop for quite a while...

I'm not sure if you've caught up on older games, but I recently purchased a similar system as you, and I've played through Prey since then. I'm also running through Doom 3 again, and occasionally I play some Quake 4. Since they're all the same engine, I doubt they would be pushing your system, but at least they will perform well.
I guess it's worth mentioning that I play all of these at 1900x1200, and so far Crysis is the only one that chokes my system. The rest occasionally dip in framerate, but I think that's because of the resolution.
Most of my time is spent playing TF2, however.
You might want to give ET:QW a try (I have yet to do so), and that MoH: Airborne demo as well.
