^Awesome selections...thank you.

I've heard a lot about Jamestown - that seems like one I should def. grab.

The Trine games are great platformers with some puzzle elements thrown in. Very reminiscent of Lost Vikings. Full controller support, though I actually prefer a mouse.

I believe only the second game has online co-op though.

Jamestown is great Mike, and I could almost run it on my old PC that had like half the specs of yours so you should have no problem.

The soundtrack alone is worth getting the game for.

Recettear is amazing, but it's single player only.

Beat Hazard is fun if Mike likes music. He doesn't exactly post about it here on the boards.

I like music, many genres. I really dig a good soundtrack on my games too. I'll check that one out.

I downloaded Giana Sisters.

The good: looks great in "big picture" mode. It recognized my 360 stick natively.
The bad: It plays about 1/2 to 3/4 second behind - so can't get any rhythm at all. Doesn't bode well for this rig.

I'll probably mess around w/Steam a bit more, try out a few more titles, but this all looks promising so far. If it keeps up that way - i'll have to build or buy a gaming PC then.

Beat Hazard comes with some music, but the point is that it is an arena shmup that bases what you fight on the music you have and use in it.

Heck, at the least Noise needs it so he and I can play.

Don't bother. Minecraft is a lot more hardware intensive than you think. Ask the guy who, it's technically his job to play Minecraft every day.

As for mike, I might be able to hook you up with a couple of steam games that you'll be able to play no problem. I'll pm you in the morning/ whenever I get out of bed because I have a feeling that I'm not sleeping tonight.
