    I need a game that is fun, doesn't get old fast, wont drag me into it (like most rpgs) and is easily re-playable. I'm thinking of a racing game but if there are any really good sports games that would be awesome too.

    Presuming you live <strike>on the wrong side of</strike> on the other side of the pond, but I like Pro Evo (Winning Eleven) for a quick blast. I suppose Madden for you then :rolleyes: :D I also have flatout 3 but I have found the destruction derby format/racing to wear thin quickly, so steer clear. Good job I got it for cheap

    On the other side of the pond? Huh? lol. I've seen flatout before and it seemed quite fun. Maybe I will look into it. Are there any good basketball games for the PC?

    i suggest GTR 2, it's a blast to play online, i believe it's the best racing simulator out there for pc.
    and yeah, pro evolution soccer is a must if you're into football, this game could last you forever, i've played like 1000+ matches and never scored two goals the in same way, that what makes the replay value so good.

    I'm not sure if you have a PS2 or Xbox, but the burnout series might be just what you're looking for.

    Need For Speed Most Wanted is one of the best NFS games i've played. U can torrent it easily and use Daemon Tools to install it.
