Video games women play or good non-blokey games???

Hi Guys

Sorry if my title sounds a bit sexist, you know what I mean.

I am looking for some video games to play on my laptop, but not war, guns or driving games. Can anyone give me some ideas!

Second Life is an interactive game...does anyone play that? However, I don't think the spec of my laptop is up to it.

Thanks in advance!

 

There are various game categories - it's not just war, racing & sport. You need to at least tell us what interests you. And, as JoeRay12 said, tell us about your PC. In the mean time, have a look at the following website. If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you can select your Windows OS.

If you like Hidden Object games, I will reccomend:
Mystery of Mortlake Mansion.
Prime Suspects.
Little Shop - Road Trip.

 

Hi Guys

Yes, sorry, should have given you my laptop spec. It's a Medion Akoya E7220 Intel Core i3-2310m CPU 2.10GHz, 4GB, 64-bit. 750GB hard drive (it's a bit full, I need a clean out of duplicate photos!). Is that enough info?

Re games, I like the idea of Second Life but I know that my laptop spec isnt good enough. Are there any other similar games to that? I havnt really played that many games, willing to try a few out. I need a major distraction in my life at the moment and I know people can get really into video games, so I'd thought I would give it a try! I will have a look at the ones you suggested, thanks.

Also, I am thinking of upgrading my laptop and would choose one that had good enough graphics to play Second Life. I am in Australia and one shop suggested this laptop (it's in my price range).

Is it any good for playing games? Is it any good full-stop? The graphics are "2GB nVIDIA GeForce GT dedicated graphics", great that really helped me! lol. . I never went out looking for one that you could take apart and use as a tablet, but I kinda like the idea a bit now, what do you think?

Cheers Guys :wave

The specs of your laptop and the one you're considering, are good for gaming. But what games? Before you purchase or download a game, compare the minimum and recommended system requirements of the game, and compare them with your computer.

OK. You probably had one eye on the cricket...:-o

 

My sister likes the SIMs. I'll have to call her and find out what she likes to play now, btw she is in her 30s, so that should help out.

 

Thanks for your message. The game I would like to play would be Second Life

Above are the system requirements, however I cannot tell if that laptop meets them, doh! :-o

Hi Theefool, thanks that would be great! I am 45. I will have a look at the SIMs, cheers J

 

Thanks musksnipe, can you run the software you suggested with a computer you have yet to buy? Thanks

 

Thanks for the website. However, unfortunately the game Second Life isn't listed.

I did a check on my current laptop and it said that the graphics card could play 4% of games released in the last year - that's good, hey I can't wait to find out which ones are the 4% :-D

I am really looking for a laptop for under $1,000 au which has the best graphics. I never knew how expensive some of the 'gaming' laptops were!!

:wave

 

Okay Mr MagicMusk!!

So laptop http://www.harveynorman.com.au/computers-tablets/computers/laptops/lenovo-z50-core-i5-laptop.htmlwill run Second Life. However, will it run it quick or just average. Are you able to tell?

Is it worth $937? Is there anything that isnt so good about it? I have never heard of the brand, does that matter?

Cheers Buddy :highfive

 

Hiya
How does this one compare
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/laptops/lenovo/lenovo-z50-70-15-6-laptop/630220/

It only has 4GB instead of 8GB. What difference would that make to the laptop and gaming?

I think the graphics are the same? Otherwise any other differences? Is the first Lenovo Core i5 so much better?

I don't want to buy one that is 'just' good enough and then have to change it up in a year, I would rather pay more now for a better machine. I will get a comparison au website.

Have a great weekend!!

Hi again

Here are a list of laptops available in Australia. I am quite happy choosing the best deal, it is the choosing of the best laptop with the good graphics that I can't work out. So from this list any laptops jump out as being any good??

Hi Musk!

Thanks for your message.

Someone on Facebook is selling a tower as follows:

i5 POWERFUL GAMING RIG

Tower only. Includes:-
Intel i5 750 CPU.
PNY liquid cooled Nvidia GTX 580 (comparable to gtx 770).
Antec 900W high current gamer power supply (worth $159+ alone).
500GB HDD (120GB OCZ Vertex SSD boot drive available for $100 extra).
Asus P7H55D-M-EVO motherboard.
4GB DDR3 RAM
Cooler master CPU heatsink and fan.
Silverstone gaming case.
LG DVD read/write.
USB 3.0 and 2.0.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed/activated.
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 installed/activated.

Is this spec any good, is it what I am after?? They are asking $550, I have offered $200. But unless it is any good it's not worth anything. Is it better or worse than the laptops you advised?

Cheers Mate

 

Firstly, apologies to Mrs musksnipe Happy Easter!

The more I am researching all this the more opportunities and ideas are springing out!!! lol.

My initial idea was to play Second Life. So upgrade laptop, then I saw the guy on Facebook selling a desktop and you say that desktops are better.

So as before I was undecided, now I'm not sure, doh!!! :-o:-D

So you think this guy on Facebook actually built the tower? Ooops, maybe $200 was a bit low. He said I quote: " No sorry. I've already been offered $450 and said no. I'm happy to wait for someone who will appreciate these awesome graphics." Fair dinkum

I would rather get something from a shop though, plus he is only selling the tower, no screen.

So now I am thinking, should I get a desktop and get one with a big screen?? Is it better playing games with a big screen and is a desktop better than a laptop for games, it is, right?

If I got a desktop what size screen would be a good / ideal size?

What about this desktop, any good? https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/desktops/hp/hp-pavilion-23-a303a-all-in-one-23-desktop-pc/674092/ Are the graphics better on this than the Toshiba laptop? (Prob yes, hey)

I have decided that I can spend more, so budget less of an issue, I would just rather get the right thing.

So sorry Mrs musksnipe I may need to borrow your man for a little longer :cry for him to decide which desktop I should buy and what screen size. It looks like JB HiFi is a reasonable shop price-wise but like I say I would rather get the right kit and screen size.

Thanks buddy

J :wave

 

Hi Mate

Thankyou for all of your help and advice. I took an executive decision and bought this yesterday:

https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/desktops/lenovo/lenovo-b50-30-23-8-all-in-one-touch-desktop/630182/

In the shop I managed to get them down to $1400, which I was quite pleased about.

I am loving the kit immensely so far and so glad I got the big screen. it's awesome!!

:clap:celebrate:highfive:wave

 

...and for my next trick I will be setting up a link so I can share data with my old laptop. Then I will have to do the job I have been putting off for yonks, deleting all the duplicate files, mainly photos on my laptop. There is plenty advice on here. It's a must before I junk up this new computer :-o

The sound on my new toy is magic!!It has 12GB which is good!

A Happy Bunny at Easter!:-D

Happy Easter Eggs to You + Yours and thanks again :wave
