Torchlight II

1. Torchlight II

Probably the newest game this hunk of tin can actually run well! Tends to bog down during more hectic boss fights, but all in all I'm pretty happy with the performance I can get outta this. Game's pretty great, so that helps too!

Dark Souls

2. Dark Souls

PC Version: Runs at sub-30 frames... Waste of £4.

State of Decay

3. State of Decay

Fuck you systemrequirementslab.com, this POS most certainly WILL NOT run well on my machine! In fact this runs even worse than Dark Souls! £10 wasted.

Bully: Scholarship Edition

4. Bully: Scholarship Edition

PC Version: Given the traumatising shock of discovering that Bully on PS2 is actually pretty fucking framey, I was delighted to find that I can at least run the PC version. Some tinkering to unlock the frame cap, connect my PC to my TV, set up my wireless controller, and wulah! I get to play this lil gem how it should be <3

Just Cause 2

5. Just Cause 2

PC Version: Actually runs better than expected, but still not ideal... £2 wasted.

File:Alan Wake Game Cover.jpg

6. Alan Wake

PC Edition:... /sigh Fucking steam sales. £3 wasted.

Max Payne

7. Max Payne

PC Version: Have to set the compatability to 98/ME just to run the bloody thing... Fucking AMD, but hey, it works! Really well even, and I've never actually played this before so... neato. Shame there's no controller support as I'm still trying to get used to using a KB&M, which currently still feels a little awkward. Don't know if that's because of my desk setup, or if my keyboard isn't fit for games or whatever... Oh well, I'm sure I'll (hopefully) adjust.

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

8. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

PC Version: This one I have played, and after reading that its PS2 version is apparently a complete mockery (despite loving it way back when), I'm glad I've got access to a 60fps PC version to relive those memories. Again, shame about the lack of native controller support.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare

9. Alan Wake's American Nightmare

PC Version: Oh yeah, this was packaged in with Alan Wake for like 69p or something. Haven't even installed it, but I wouldn't expect it to work all that well anyway so... 69p most likely wasted.

Left 4 Dead 2

10. Left 4 Dead 2

PC Version: WHY THE FUCK MUST STATE OF DECAY BRING MY COMPUTER TO A CRAWL YET THIS RUNS LIKE VASELINE. I mean, OK, Valve and all that, PC super-developers, and I guess the game itself isn't exactly much of a looker, AND it's from 2009 for fuck sake. But still...
