    I have the following:

    CS:S
    Orange box
    Kotor 1
    Kotor 2
    Oblivion
    Rome: Total War
    Star wars: Empire at war
    Comanche 4

    I play most when I can, but I have a 360 and I have to admit I do prefer console gaming, although i'm starting to game on my laptop quite a lot. I think i'm going off my 360 :(

    It's the keyboard interface that gets me, it's so cumbersome and it seems my wired 360 controller won't work on any games. I love playing Comanche with a joystick.

    Pudsey, have you tried xpadder? I play an old Amiga emulated pinball game using my wireless xbox 360 controller thanks to this little program. You can map anything you want, game or window and it is free.

    +1 LOL

    Right now in my "Games" folder I have:

    - Call of Duty 4 (haven't play it for a while, but will keep it because of the online fun ;) )

    - Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (play online a few times a week but starting to play less coz of RA3...)

    - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 beta (starting to play online more often and it's looking much better than CnC3 and it's fun as well! :))

    - Devil May Cry 4 (finished the game once on devil hunter difficulty and started son of sparda difficulty but haven't really play it recently)

    - FIFA 08 (haven't touched it for like half a year but will keep it until FIFA 09 comes out...lol)

    - Flatout: Ultimate Carnage (this game rockz and it's so much more fun than GRID! :D )

    - Gears of War (close to the end but haven't got a chance to finish it)

    - GRID (half way through but stopped playing because I found it slightly boring and then Flatout came out. :rolleyes: )

    - LEGO Indiana Jones (played 1 hour total I think and haven't touched it since then...>_<)

    - The Witcher (up to chapter 4 coz it consumes too much time & I got busy... 6 chapters total)

    - Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (half way through the missions but stopped few months ago...>___<)


    Games that are likely to appear in my "Games" folder at the end of this month: ;)

    - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

    - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

    Guild Wars (Played it for 2 weeks)
    Half Life (Hella Fun)
    Half Life 2 (Even Better)
    Half Life 2: Episode 1 (meh)
    Half Life 2: Episode 2 (Better, now can't wait for Episode 3/ Half Life 3)
    Halo (Way better than Halo 3)
    Halo: Custom Edition (Same as above with some crazy *** mods)
    Oblivion (Also fun to kill people in)
    Rainbow six: Vegas 2 (On the last act, nothing really special)
    Unreal Tournament 2004 (Fun online, no lag!!!)
    Unreal Tournament 3 (I like the way you can play possum, awesome for multiplayer)
    Project 64 (A must have)

    I mostly play for the single player mode so most of these have pretty decent story mode, especially UT3, lol

    I would say it definitely looks better than Flatout 2 (better textures and some nice environments, more objects on tracks) but obviously GRID looks better. I like the environments of it (just like GRID the dirt effects in flatout are nice too) but I didn't like some of the car's look. Sometimes when front parts of the car came off it looks kinda lame imo. :rolleyes: But other than that I'm loving it! :D
