OT: Advice on a good looking computer game

I am about to recieve a very high end system (3 ghz, 1 gig ram, ATI 9800) and want a good computer game to buy for it to really show off its ability to handle graphics. Any suggestions?

Unreal 2 is probably the best looking game graphically out right now as far as I know. I personally think the game sucks ass though, for what that's worth, but for sheer looks I think it's the best around.

Edit: Forgot to add, I hate you.

The original Zork would rock on your system.

Morrowind is nice, but it depends on what game you want...I'm sure GTA:Vice City would look very nice on that system.

Good luck with your new computer...

P.S.-Black and White would probably look really nice on a system like that and the game itself is pretty cheap to buy.

Unreal Tournament 2003 is supposed to be very intense graphically.

Just to update, I decided to go with GTA: Vice City and it does look very very pretty. I hadn't thought of running Black and White, a game I already own, but that's a pretty good idea.

Uh here's some advice don't get The Sims. Yes, do get Rainbow Six: Raven Shield. There's more people to shoot, but more people to rescue, the rescue part is the downside to it.

I'd say PlanetSide is pretty good, I like that game ... and as I'm currently building my own system, I can't wait to see how my new system handles it. I'd like to get Unreal 2003, but everytime I go to buy a game, I always wind up with something different.

Oh well.
