Just got my new computer:

ATI Radeon 4890 1gb
3.2 Quad Core
4 gb RAM
1TB harddrive
(note, specs aren't exacts, can't remember them)

I want some games to fully utilize my computers potential, already planning on Crysis:Warhead, Dawn of War 2, L4D (gonna have some massive hordes on this). Feel free to reccomend whatever.

Probably is, but they're great games that my old pc could barely handle.

Sorry my friend but it look's like you will need the old 2d version of pacman for that.

L4D doesn't scale the number of enemies based on how powerful your computer is, ya know...

Pick up 3Dmark and bench it for lulz. FarCry2, Race Driver GRID, Mirrors Edge are some of the prettier games of late.

haha
this was probably meant as a joke, but the system requirements for that game are insane!
i tried to play it at work and it just lagged way too much to be anywhere near playable
those coders are the worst optimizers in game history.. they even render the ascii graphics in opengl!
and here i was hoping i could play that at work or on my phone over ssh, being all ascii and all

Yes, it's fucking massive.

Using a 22" widescreen. Res=1680x1050. Using Vista Ultimate 64x.

Thanks for all the tips, I'll check some of them out. Especially 3D Gay Sex Villa.

If you want to utilize it, play unoptimized games. Otherwise specs don't determine quality of games.

So with that being said, Spiderman 3/Spiderman Web of Shadows Razz

The Witcher looks amazing on full details.

World in Conflict, The Last Remnant, maybe some others.

yeah, it seems that most of the suggestions made are for games that just run like shit and are ported right from x360 without any real thought or care how it actually runs Razz

You could have waited, everyone else has forgotten about that game and moved on..
you still seem to have a soft spot for it..

I think there is an engine limit on the amount of zombies that can be spawned at once.
