Windows XP users now have a start-to-finish solution that makes it easy to find the most interesting games for your PC and determine if your PC can play them. Look at screenshots, watch trailers, try a free demo and then order the game online -- all with the knowledge that your PC is ready to play

This a very good idea and looks well done ,i tested it me can play everything

I tried that thing it on my work pc and as I suspected, it's lack of 3d graphics card makes running Far Cry on it unlikely.

MAD BASTARD! WHOOT! LOOK AT THOSE CARDS TURN!
