I love Dead Island but already own it for xbox so I won't be buying it again. The same goes for Borderlands 2, though I don't own it yet, but I'm planning to get it for xbox eventually.

Battlefield is worth looking into. I bought a friend's 2 year old alienware laptop. It seems to be pretty capable for most games, I will look into the requirements for Battlefield 3 and the cost of all the dlc. I'm a pretty cheap bastard these days.

At first I had no idea who the hell this was. Now that I've figured it out... what games do you suggest? I've been playing a pile of TF2 now that I have a computer that can handle it.
