    I was wondering if there were any good fast-paced games since i'm in school and don't have time for long games. Thanks in advance :D

    You should definitely try out the Polish game 'Soldat'.
    It's a 2D game if I'm not mistaken. The game is viewed side ways just as Super Mario.
    The game is like Counter-Strike but Soldat is 100x better and 100x more addicting. The game has a really good feeling and powerful back ground music! The game can be downloaded for free at www.soldat.pl and it's only around 14 MB. But I warn you before you download it. The game is very addicting!

    Perhaps you could list what you've already played then we could steer you in the right direction.

    Portal is a must try. And I second the recommendation of Soldat. It's good for a couple of minutes of mindless action.

    Agree with both suggestions. Soldat is great for a few minutes of fun in between activities.

    Street Fighter IV...

    Quick in, quick out and if you have access to the internet, it's very easy to get into an online match...

    But school is the last time I remember having lots of time for games...wait...that's a lie...sitting at the pier in Jebel Ali but not allowed to leave the ship due to the high threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. military personnel...that's how I finished Baldur's Gate and Fallout...

    Could try out Sector 8. Looks really fast paced to me, supposed to reinvent fps or something. I haven't played it, but the vids looked good.
