core duo iMac windows game recommendations
Ok, so now boot camp is out i can dual boot windows with graphics support on my iMac, I just ordered a win xp installation disk (university discount, just ?20) so I can do the one thing on my mac that i do miss from my pc days:
play the occasional game.
As the pc my iMac recently replaced was a 5 year old POC, I'm really out of the loop about recent pc games that are worthwhile, so I'm hoping some of you can give me some advise on which games I (and others with same desire) should definitely look into...
Thanks for any/all feedback!!

If you're into RPG's at all, get Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. It's supposedly absolutely spectacular, with great graphics and forty-plus hours of gameplay.
Battlefield 2 is a really fun modern warfare FPS that's great online. Tons of vehicles and large-scale war.
When Spore comes out you'll want that too. Looks really fun.
About graphics support, according to the apple bootcamp pages:
The Macintosh Drivers CD includes drivers to support these within Windows XP:
* Intel Chip Set Software (6.2.1)
* ATI Graphics (8.24.0.0)
* Intel Integrated Graphics (6.14.10.4512)
So I'm pretty certain DirectX will be fully supported with these drivers. I'm sure the first test reports will be here very shortly.
Edit: did some sniffing around and first reports indicate that graphics support is fully working and windows games install and run like a charm!
