Question

I'm a little out of touch with the PC gaming scene, and the UK mags are horrendously expensive over here..

I've upgraded my system - Athlon 2000+ and a Geforce 4 4200 128mb, Creative Audigy - any tips pm what's hot and what is likely to make best use of my new kit..

I need
1. The best Rally game out there
2. The best first person shoot-em up
3. Anything else exciting

Cheers so far - bought Serious Sam 2 yesterday - those bloody suicide bombers chased me through my dreams all night!
Also purchased CMR2 - shame there's no training section..

someone suggested Grand Prix Legends as a must-have 'classic' - anyone know is this will run on W2k?
The demo didn't get very far..

Grand Prix Legends runs fine on XP Pro.

Considering XP is built around NT, you shouldn't have a problem running it m8.
