Recommend any old/bargain games for first time Builder looking to get into PC Gaming?

Wow, sorry to hear about your crappy internet.

Anyway, like I said, you might want to look on Amazon for games. In your case it might be faster to get a DVD in the mail than to download them. But Steam and D2D both allow you to pause and resume your downloads so that is an option.

OP is making me wonder just how bad his speeds are. 56K bad? D:

Steam and D2D both allow you to pause and resume your downloads so that is an option.

This is why I wouldn't be ruling out Steam. Bioshock 1 & 2 on sale today for $5/each.

yeah dont overlook steam and Direct2drive just because of bad internet speeds, download overnight, download while your playing singleplayer, download all the time...it will be slow on some of the larger games, but when your getting the games for steam prices it shouldnt matter.

just like right now you can get bioshock 1 & 2 for 5 each on steam
dirt 2 on direct 2 drive for 4-5 bucks (Code SHOWERS will give 20% off at the moment)

its a great time to be a pc gamer but you cant be scared of downloading games, because thats just how it is now if you want the best deals.

http://www.direct2drive.com/

check them everyday for the rest of your life, you never know what sales they will have :awe:

Tons of demos on steam as well

enjoy pc gaming!
