    i mainly like CS 1.6 because of the excitement it offers.. do we rush bombsite a/b? do we camp the tunnels? do we go under bridge? do we plant bomb? do we guard hostages? do we snipe? do we rush at all? do we try to pick them off one by one? do we play leap frog tactics? im all alone, 4v1..do i camp? do i try and pick them off? etc...etc...

    i can find this in no other game..however, BF2 does come close, but their mp interface annoys me too much, that i havent touched it in weeks.

    aside from all of this, i can play on probably 100s of different maps, thousands of servers, skins for guns ( too many to even begin listing), skins for player models..music on servers, the infamous announcer sounds (i think from ut/quake..forgot which)..aside, from a very high skill level in the game by many people...makes it very fun.

    this is just what i can remember about it.

    pb,out.

    Counter-Strike: Source
    Star Wars:BattleFront 1 & 2
    Half-Life 2
    Quake 4
    Far Cry
    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1st one)
    Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (original w/o expansion)
    Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

    CS:S online is probably one of the best online team games, very enjoyable and it runs great. BattleFront is a great way to kill time, the models are great, Jedi in the second one rock. Quake 4 gets somewhat repetitive but is still graphically impressive.
    Galactic Battlegrounds is very old (2D; ran perfectly on my 233MHz PII Dell Inspiron), but I still enjoy it.
    And KOTOR - my fav. RPG, wonderful to play through.

    I'm a big Star Wars guru, I have a small library of books and everything else you can think of. ;) KOTOR2 was still good, but not nearly to the level of the first; the end was chopped off, literally, and it didn't have the characters nor the storyline of the first. I was very much disappointed at the end of the game.

    May fav games I've ever played.. top 3.. as far as enjoyment went, would have to go as follows:

    1)vCod and UO : many many hours spent online competitively playing that game. Can't explain it, I just loved that game and it loved me back. I "rolled fat kids" so to speak. Do not like the hit boxes on CoD2. Very random, due to the fact the game was designed for XBox primarily.. and even after Punkbuster cut back on the cheaters, I just do not like CoD2 at all.

    2) Star Wars : KOTOR - While I have played both KOTOR 1 + 2 , there is no comparison in my opinion. KOTOR was a blast to play through.. all 3 times.

    3) World of Warcraft : Yes yes.. I know.. overrated Warcrack.. I'm not a big RPG fan in general, even less so in favour of MMORPG's.. but I like this game for some reason. Somehow has alot of replayability.

    Honourable mentions:
    -Age of Empires 2. One of the best RTS' ever I think
    -Rome Total War
    -CS:S

    Wow, there are no Zelda players here?....Ocarina of Time is one of the best games...(Never owned it, but played it). Majora's Mask was alright...

    But NO ONE is into TP?? There has to be someone...I've been waiting for this game ever since they showed that trailer a year ago...

    Some older titles but still a few of my favorites
    Medal of Honor 9/10
    Enemy Territory 8/10
    Mafia 9/10

    Current one that I play is GTA: San Andreas, most games I just look at the eye candy for a bit and uninstall.

    My first gaming experiences were all me watching my brother playing them (two years older). I wasn't just watching him, I was part of it. Strategy wise, praise wise, and insult wise. I watched him enough that it was sort of like our best bonding momments. I'd say the best game that I ever played with my brother would probably be War Craft III. The custom games were incredible and very much fun. Second would probably be the Command and Conquer Series, ranging from Red Alert II to Yuris Revenge, to Renegade.
    When I started a little gaming (not really a gamer though), my favorite game was COD, the original. This game was incredible and provided me so much fun because I became so good at it. Now I'm trying to find a good game to play (currently playing DOOM 3, and to say the least am a little bored). I think I will play Half Life 2 next, I heard that is a really good game. I am also hearing a lot about OBLIVION, I think I might check that out, but I my X1400 will barely be able to play that sucker I have heard.
    So to recap:
    War Craft III
    Command and Conquer Series
    COD

    hey i am a big fan of Warcraft 3 as well. the custom games on battle.net are a blast and the DOTA's are just plain fun when you get kinda good. but i think my favorite are tower defence and or tower wars and angel arena although they do end up taking for ever and nowadays there are too many "secrets" that i dont know about so i always lose to some dude who is abnormally strong abnormally fast and the whole cheating type of thing so i dont play those as much.

    Man, there are so much games I've played in my life that I loved.
    On our first computer, a 486 we got in 1989, I played DukeNukem 3D a lot, as well as StreetRod (1&2), Leisure Suit Larry,Stunts 3D and Captain Keen.

    More recently, my favourite games are; Doom 3 (scary as hell), Half-Life 2, Call of Duty 2, TOCA Race Driver 2, NBA Live series. Age of Empires 3 and Warcraft 3 are both very entertaining as well, allthough i suck at those against well-skilled human players :p

    But my all-time favourite has to be Deus Ex. After 5 years i still play it on a regular basis, and I think I'll be playing it for a few more years. I haven't even considered playing the sequel Invisible War, I'm convinced it can't be that good as the original.

    Oh yeah, I used to own a Sega 8-bit Master System as well; Alex The Kid, Sonic, Golden Axe,... Loved those!

    I've stated a list below of games I played for a very long time, so not games I play currently, as there are very little.

    Knights & Merchants 5.5
    (really this score is far too low, if you are a tactical mastermind you'll love this game. Besides, you've to run the entire economy by your own, I loved it, and this game is my number one ever.

    Tactical Ops (MOD UT) 6.2

    1602 A.D. 7.2
    Again a game in which you've to run the entire economy of your empire all by your own, there's just less demand for those games than for others. However, there's a group who will really enjoy it. There's a new version as well, 1503 AD + add on, but personally, I prefer 1602 AD

    Battlefield 1942 8.8


    Current games:

    Battlefield II 9.3
    Sid Meier's Pirates 9.2

    Waiting for more than three years for this game:

    Pirates Of The Burning Sea

    I really don't know how I could rate them, but my current favorites are Half Life 1 & 2, World of Warcraft, America's Army (it's free!!), Unreal Tournnament '03-'06, Doom III, Farcry, and FEAR. Halo for the PC would be a runner up. I really only play that when my friends and I LAN party these days...
