Recommendation for a PC Game

Was wondering if anyone could recommend any type of PC simulation game. Not really picky, just wanting something that is continuous and not ends after 10 missions. Some of the games that I have looked at are: Battlefield 2, Warcraft, Roller Coaster Tycoon, just to name a few.

Also, I am using GIGABYTE GA-MA69VM-S2 AM2 AMD 690V Micro ATX AMD Motherboard that I got from NewEgg with Onboard Video Chipset ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 (Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA69VM-S2 AM2 AMD 690V Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards) and am not sure what type of games are compatabile with this chipset

Other specs of my computer are:
Windows Vista Home Basic
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+ 2.40GHz
3GB of memory

On another note, if you are looking for something like WoW but don't want to become a burnout, take a look at Lord of the Rings Online. It is a great game but doesn't have the same addiction factor that WoW has.

Since there really is no "end game" aka when you reach max level there really isn't much to do, you will pretty much quit shortly after you hit 60... which is not the case for WoW at all. And the player base is much more mature in LotRO than in WoW.

The only thing I think you might have an issue with is your graphics. LotRO pulls a lot more than WoW.

Warcraft as being the first one I am assuming? Never heard of Lord of the Rings Online. If my video chipset wont support it, that means I would have to purchase a video card, something I was hoping to avoid.

Warcraft is an entire line of video games, going back to the mid 90's. Warcraft 1-3 were strategic real time games where you controlled your side on a map.

World of Warcraft is a Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying game released in 2004. It has had two expansion packs (the burning crusade and Wrath of the Lich King). Blizzard has announced they plan to release a new xpac every year, meaning you will never run out of things to do in the game.

Each of the expansion packs requires you to have the previous expansion and the original game.

The original game had 8 playable races and 9 playable classes. The level cap was 60.

The Burning crusade introduced two new playable races, a new profession, a new "world", and the level cap was raised to 70.

Wrath of the Lich King introduced a new playable class, a new "world", and a new profession.

You can simply purchase the original game for about $20 and get to level 60 without buying any of the expansions. Then you can buy the first expansion and get to 70. Then the next and get to 80. You won't have access to antyhing from the expansions until you buy them (meaning you couldn't create a character from the newer classes or races and you couldn't pick up any of the new professions nor travel to the newer zones). While that may seem a bit of an annoyance, it really isn't.

And Warcraft will be one the best games you can play on your lack of video card. It will be a bit choppy, but it will work fine.

Oh, I didn't know it was a lady.

Well then, in that case you will need to at least purchase TBC so you can be a fe-belf. And wotlk so you can have access to all your pets.

Name your character something like "Ihavebewbz" and be sure to download Vent (Ventrilo - Download), find the top raiding guild on your server, find their vent info, and get on and just talk. Once they find out your a girl, you will wake up the next day see your character is alreading level 80, has full T7, 15,000 gold, and you'll have at least 10 Flawless Diamond Solitaire - Item - World of Warcraft from varying guys in your guild.

Haha nope. When they make it so a single player can't kill Ony in 8 minutes, then I'll come back. The fact a shadow priest can take her out in 10 without healing makes me sick.
