    Half-Life is classic, I suggest bioshock series as well.

    I enjoy the Call of Duty series, but I have them only on Xbox. Thinking about setting up my PS3 in my truck. Gotta try FarCry3.

    How do you guys not use the 5GB max bandwidth when online that most wireless companies limit you to without paying extra?
    I plan on going online once I start trucking on my offtime, but no idea how to set up an Unlimited connection...Nationwide that is cheap.

    Also, No APU will be in my truck (Schneider Bulk Tanker) so I guess I need to figure out how to run a laptop.

    Help? thanks

    It's not really a problem with the bandwidth as far as games go. I had one local job that all I did was play online games 8-12 hours a day while I was getting unloaded and never even came close to the 5GB limit. The amount of data sent and received is pretty small.

    As far as power goes, you should be alright with just a cigarette plug inverter for most laptops. Even with the truck off you should have power long enough to do what you're going to do unless you're sitting for a real long time. If you have a powerful gaming laptop you can run into issues though. The only way I could use my laptop was to keep the battery out of it at all times or it would burn up the cigarette plug style inverters within 1-2 days. If I had the truck off I could only get 1-2 hours before the low voltage warning would start. Most laptops don't require that much power though.
