Smile Can You Play The Game?

Are you sure that you can play the game you are planning to download or buy a DVD of?

Many people download a great game taking a lot of strain (or buy a DVD). But, finally you come up finding that your computer cannot play that game.
Thus, you end up wasting your precious time downloading a game that you can't even play. Next time, you won't be able to make that mistake.

Go to this Site : Can you run it?

This site scans your computer to see if your computer will be able to handle the game you want to download.

You can select the game from the list there in the site, and then click on "Can you run it?"

After that, you will get a pop-up asking permission to download an ActiveX or Java Plug-in component called SysReqLab.cab or SRLApplet, just give permission, and then it will test if you computer is capable with that game, when that is done it will give you the "System Requirements Lab Analysis" that will tell you if your computer is able to run the game, and what you can do to have the requirements.



Now you do not need to worry about 'incompatibilities' anymore.

I hope that my this post has helped you guys, because I actually needed some tool like this.

P.S : The site is totally safe. If you have any doubt, just see this.

Yea I've been using this site for quite some time. But its not 100% acurate. Though it will give you more or less and idea how good the game will run if it runs at all.

I always use this site. I found it when I was looking for a site with requirement lists of all the games.

requirements are the stupidest thing i have heard of.right from the days of nfs2, till mirrors edge,i have seen games run on pcs with lesser requirements.so dont be disappointed just by the reqs.check it for yourself!

Pretty good website...although some of the games I was checking for weren't listed there.
You could also visit the game's page on Wikipedia.All the requirements are listed there.
