    For the folks that have a TARGET in your area, a few games have made it to the clearance area that are good and low cost... and work on the m11x :D

    Borderlands = 9.99
    Metro 2033 = 24.99
    Alien Vs Predator or AVP = 14.99
    Dawn of war 2 = 14.99
    Wolfenstein - I think 20 but can't remember
    and some others...

    Remember that each TARGET keeps there clearance games in a different area...

    I picked up borderlands cause i have it on 360 and never played in on pc... already have the others...

    Best Wishes, StevenX

    Hard to believe that I actually spent $50 on AvP and played it for like 3 hours....you think I would know by now after playing Starcraft, Diablo2, World of Warcraft, and Starcraft2 over the past 12 years that any game made besides Blizzard just is not worth the cost or wasted time. I also wasted $$ on Star Trek Online but being a trekker I am kind of obligated to that franchise. Hopefully I will resist plunking down $50 on DC Online as I know that Cataclysm will dominate my PC gaming time and DC ONline will just be another mediocre game not made by Blizzard :rolleyes:

    @Balzertrek50
    Not to start a flame war here, but have you ever tried Company of Heroes?
    In my opinion, one of the best RTS games ever made.

    @All - game preference is just that .. your personal preference. I just wanted to give everyone interested a quick post to let them know.

    Blizzard do make good games. I am not a starcraft fan myself but I know others really enjoy it. Best wishes, StevenX

    Noah, Yes I have and I really did not enjoy it anywhere close to how much I enjoy SC2 and SC1!

    Borderlands is alright on the M11x. The system requirements are a bit high for it.

    The market is tough for PC game developers. Try out Demo's and PURCHASE the games you enjoy.
