Best PC Games for the GPD WIN

GPD WIN

The GPD WIN is designed for more than just emulators, for it is also perfect for playing some of the best PC Games on the Windows platform as well. There is enough horsepower inside the GPD WIN to play simple DOS games from back in the nineties like Wolfenstein and DOOM all the way up to the more present day enhanced graphics games from the Steam Network.

Best PC Games

I recently got myself a GPD WIN which I must say, is a very nice looking gadget indeed. With a gorgeous 5.5 inch screen and a clam shell design that makes it ideal for carrying around in my pocket the GPD WIN is the perfect mobile platform for toting around my favourite PC games which I can play on the train when I am on that daily 2 hour commute.

I recently downloaded what I think is one of my best PC games in my collection called GRID, which is a fast paced racing game as well as one of my favourite 1st person shooter PC games called First Encounter Assault Recon (also known as F.E.A.R. 3) to see if the little GPD WIN could handle these fast paced high definition graphics. The verdict, the GPD WIN wins hands down. Game play within both games was exactly the same as on my 2 foot tall gaming PC with no grainy graphics or sound. Everything was fluid and fast. Not bad for a portable PC gaming system.

The GPD WIN is also a great game platform to have if you have a soft spot for those DOS games from the nineties.  Anyone who remembers feeding in 8 floppy disks into their 386DX PC with that 8MHz Turbo button would surely remember those days.  That being said, DOS emulation works very well on the GPD WIN as well when it comes to PC gaming old school style.  In general, the GPD can handle pretty much all of the emulated platforms quite comfortably – with some small exceptions when it comes to certain high end games that may need a little tweaking to make them playable.  In one of my next posts I will talk about doing PlayStation 2 emulation on this portable device, so stay tuned.
