Most newish titles ARE playable on a shitty rig, you just have to make some compromises. I've successfully played Left 4 Dead on a machine with no video card and only 1GB of ram, and Fallout 3 on the same machine, and Spore. Do I have the graphics as high as possible? No. Are the games entirely playable and decent-looking? Absolutely. (Anyone with left 4 dead PC, try it. Turn the graphics all the way down. Game still looks fantastic.) People try to pretend that the PC platform somehow FORCES you to buy a massive video card and a power supply the size of the moon, which isn't true. If you want to do that, it's just a bonus.

Man, if you know how to play Left 4 Dead on a computer with no video card, do tell. Here are the results of testing the system requirements on a computer that I bought new literally a few months ago (not primarily for playing games, obviously):
Now, I don't know, maybe it would run regardless, but of course there's no way to test it, since there's apparently no demo.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
