64Meg graphics card doesn't really narrow it down very much. Well certainly not enough to be helpful anyway.

fire warrior is was designed for consoles, then ported over to pc. Its probably the worst FPS i've played in years.

Battlefield 1942 would be quite a nice addition to get. You can get it now with the original and the 1st expansion in a bundle pack, quite cheaply. Its also got a lot of mods you can download for it.......but its mainly an online game. Bots are a little stupid offline, you see.

It's crap, played a demo on the PS2, so generic you don't have to have any FPS experience to know how the game will pan out.

> 2)Lord of the Ring: ROTK

Very good, if you like the movie and are a fan of the old school style beat em ups of the 16-bit days, though it may be better suited to the console as the keyboard is a poor substitute for a joypad.

> 1)halo

Over hyped, but enjoyable. Sometimes repetitive, sometimes criminally dull but it has some fantastic vehicular bits and a fun multiplayer side.

> 2)Call of Duty

I'd put it this at the top of the list, certainly one of the best FPS of the year, yes it's short but I've through it twice already and have a craving to do it all a third time. Also pretty fun in multiplayer.

> 3)Counter strike (like all people)

Crap in my opinion, but it's free to download so you can easily make your own mind up about the game with out having spend money on it.

> 4)Elite Forces 2

It's OK, but not all that. The demo was slightly too generic for my liking and though I'm not much of a Star Trek fan some of the weapons felt really out of place. It is going cheap now so it may be worth looking into, but no a priority I'd say.

> 5)Alien Vs Predator (been thinking of getting no.2 for some time)

Probably best to get the sequel than, because I can't get the original to work on my machine. No.2 is also much better looking and bloody scary in places.

> 6)Max payne 2: Fall of Max Payne

Would be my second choice, another short game but very fun and with some of the most stylish action you'll find in a game. Plus nobody has done bullet time as well Max Payne.

For Such as short game, Max Payne 2 is bloody huge in terms of space.
It's requires two discs for installation and another for play, and 1.7MB for installation.

So bloody huge I cannae fit it on me PC, and I got it today as a present *sob*

CoD and Max payne 2 are pretty short but good none the less, of course counter strike will last you ages as it's multiplayer is good...
