The worst part about Metro 2033 was the stealth part. That would have ruined the game for me, had I not had my laptop out with the youtube video walkthrough playing :0. And yea, the dof in that game is the biggest joke of a setting in the history of video games.


There are quite a few stealth parts.  What is wrong with them?  Metro 2033 has better stealth gameplay than any FPS I've encountered.  Unlike other games, the enemies cannot see you in pitch darkness.  They might hear you stab someone because lots of times, stabbing causes your victim to scream in pain.  

 
Have you played Deus Ex: HR, boredgunner? You can play 99% of the game using stealth and not killing one person.

I haven't played it but I heard lots of great things about it.  My stealth tactics come into play in Metal Gear Solid and of course Amnesia.

True, and you don't find gameplay like that on consoles, but it won't show off the OP's hardware power.  Then again neither do some of the games I listed before.

Oh, it WILL take some pretty hefty hardware to max out... only because it is horribly optimized.

It is horribly optimized, but I get a solid 60 FPS at 1920 x 1080 all maxed out.  Visual quality was sacrificed for this during one of the updates - prior to this I got 40-50 FPS with occasional dips to the 30s.

The Witcher 2 is a PC exclusive game (for now) that really takes advantage of hardware.

Witcher 2 is really nice looking.  Spanks DragonAge 2.

Blacksapphire said The Witcher 2. That's a great one. Great game and great looking on a good system.
 
Although it is a port... GTA with the various realism mods will give your PC a good run for its money.
 
Also check out Project Cars. I posted a video on www.evga.com/gaming.
 
Yes. Its a screenshot!
More screenshots here and here!
