Gone are the days when gamers carried their heavy computers to attend a LAN party. In fact, modern day gaming laptops has made portability an easier task, while saving your back at the same time. Plus, faster hardware has allowed these mobile powerhouses to rival their desktop counterparts in terms of performance.

Since most new titles are now taking advantage of the DirectX 10 platform, a top-end video card or processor is a common feature that gamers can’t live without in a high performance laptop. Gamers also want a fresh looking system with all the bells and whistles that money can buy. From flashing LEDs to wild paint jobs, there’s a variety of choices available in the market today.

As an old school PC gamer since Doom 1, I’ve seen Free Person Shooters (FPS) evolve from “point and shoot” gun fights to “wild epic” adventures. With the open world concept of FC2, does the game live up to its hype?

First of all, Ubisoft developed a beautiful looking game with an open world (sandbox) concept, where players are given the Liberty to explore a fictitious African nation, along with the ability to complete missions in a variety of strategic paths. The DUNIA engine is pretty immaculate and scales pretty well with older computers so you really don’t need a mammoth gaming rig to play at a high graphical setting.
