Can my computer run this game?

It is a common question from gamers that have PCs that aren't that new, but in theory should still run the latest games. Well there is a website that can help you out.

Can You Run It? is a website by the people at System Requirement Lab which allows you to check that your computer's specs meets the needs of your intended game. It will gauge it on a scale of either Not at All, Meets Minimum, and Meets Recommended.

1. Go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/intro.aspx


2. Select your game


3. Install the plug-in (Spyware/Virus Free)


4. Review the results

Note: This site is not ready for Windows 8, therefore will fail you on the OS check if you are using Windows 8 (Like me).
