7. I might get Far Cry 3, but further down the line.

I only played the first one, and I wasn't a huge fan. It had pretty environments, but to me that's all it had going for it. I know FC3 isn't made by Crytek, but I think the first kinda soured me. And besides doesn't it use UPlay? I have yet to play Mass Effect 3 because I don't want to bother with Origin and I *love* Mass Effect!

Also my rig is five years old, I don't know how well it would hold up.

I did see the screencaps of FC3 you posted on Steam and they look great. Reminded me of a webpage called Dead End Thrills. It's all screenshots of (heavily modded, I believe) games that make for great wallpapers/screensavers. There's some really good stuff from Portal, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and much more...

And Portal 2? I playtested (and broke) your custom map, remember?
