Good Games That’ll Work on Your Relatives’ Crappy PC

Visiting family for the holidays? You know what an antisocial faux-pas it is to bring along a console, and if you’re a PC gamer, hell if you’re dragging along that rig.


Yet when you get to your destination, either in your parents’ basement or your uncle’s old room at your grandparents, inevitably there’s some underpowered relic PC that still manages to work. Rather than suffer with Minesweeper or Solitaire when you can’t sleep on Christmas Eve, GiantRealm put together a handy list of six good PC titles that will work on most any machine still in service today. Some of these are available via digital distribution channels. Others, you might have to do a little advance planning and snake a copy from an Amazon or half.com reseller.

    When my missus told me I couldn’t take my 360 when we visit relatives interstate over christmas, I was devastated. I mean, what’s a holiday without videogames dagnabbit? I’m allowed to take my laptop, for ‘work purposes’, so am seriously considering buying a copy of Fallout 3 for PC as well as my 360 version.
