So I woke up this morning to the city link man knocking at my door with ASUS's N10 gaming laptop. Its so damn small. Theyve sent me it for 2 weeks to play around with.

not sure what game to try first Very Happy any suggestions? I might be harsh and try crysis on full settings first off the bat.

I dont know. I guess they want more exposure for it. Its not quite a year old yet

maybe its flopping and they are sending it to reviewers like me for a last swan song Laughing

I've got to say, im not looking forward to playing anything on its tiny screen.

hmm. I really dont know what game to download first. I hope they dont mind dirty pirates using daemon on their hardware Laughing

Has anything came out in the last year in the FPS department been worth a go?

I write for a tech/gadget/gaming blog. I'ts quite well known I guess but im not gonna disclose here Razz I do it for free, and for fun. Playing with the latest gadgets for free is payment enough Smile The site has some good contracts with industry leaders like Asus, Apple, Corsair, Dell + Sony to name a few..

I'm getting some stuff from Apple next too Very Happy

BTw this laptop is a POS.. mostly cos of Vista, but, i dont think its good for gaming. screen is too small and it struggles with high gfx on Condemned, a 3 years + old game Sad
