Called Homeworld 2

It's crap and it doesn't run on my 'brand new computer' as in the bestest specs every... needs some obscure graphics engine or whatever and what I did play the graphics are like an old X-Wing V Tie Fighter game.

Bah, so what PC game(s) should I get for £30?

Got any mates that are any good at computers? Set up a webcam here and we can help you :0P

But not at this time, we'll mess it up. Well, we'll probably mess it up anyway, but still.

A slot in my computer that I put a card in

I'm not touching it, it's new and I'll kill it with static and stuff.

It's not really that hard.

Do you know what an AGP or PCI slot is?
