I can't believe that no one has mentioned Fallout 3. Incredible absolutely amazing game. Awesome story, great graphics, easy to control, fantastic interaction with other characters. Many, many different types of baddies.
Just a great game. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

this is true, been to scared to get sucked back into fallout 3 world, you definitely gotta take a wasteland vacation, though. ghoul tour guide optional. Definitely some interesting outcomes to decisions you make in the game.

I play World of Warcraft every chance I get. I raid mostly on my paladin, but also have a mage, warlock, rogue, death knight, druid, hunter and shaman, all also level 80.
As you can see, I don't get out much.
My husband got me into WoW, and we raid together two to three times a week, him healing and me killing stuff. I am utterly ecstatic now that I can play and vape at the same time, I used to sneak off during trash pulls to get my dose of nasty analog smoke.
NO ****!!!!! hahaha
lvl 80's Firemage/ProtWarrior/Restroenhanceshammy/BoomTreeDruid/BMHunter
I'm also a addict i'd have more 80's but i always make sure i have raids 7 days a week. it's nice now with TOC being so short i can raid 25man TOC on 3 different chacters in 3 different guilds. PV has increased my Trash clearing capablity as well. Nothing like getting to IceHowl Hardmode after 9 mins of intense battling and Beinging able to vape inbetween Fireballs

Way too short????? Are you kidding? There's about 150 hours of game play IF you do the side quests. They're actually better then the main quest and they're what make the game so good. Then with the 4 ad ons, there's another 30 - 50 hours. Now, if all you do is the main quest and nothing else. If you don't explore the hundreds of square miles of map. If you don't do any side quests, then yup, you can run through it in probably 6-8 hours give or take. Give it another try and do as many side quests as you can. Decide if you want to be a good or evil person and make your decisions accordingly. Every decision can give a different story line with different challenges, and different consequences. Some will affect you the rest of the game. Take advantage of what the game really offers. There is so much really cool stuff you miss out on otherwise.

I've been "gaming" since the old Atari 2600 then Commodore 64 days. And if anyone doesn't have a clue what I am talking about then that'll make me feel very old. :)

I don't play games nearly as much as I used to. Between a job with lots of OT and a family, it's just hard to find the time. But here is what I used to play along with some things I do still play when I have time:

FPS games: Started way back with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom on the Commodores (64/128/Amiga). Moving on to the PC, my wife and I played Quake 3 a LOT for a while, even after it was many years old. Then we played Soldier of Fortune II online for a year or two and I got bored with it. I love the Call of Duty series, and although I only play online every now and then, I've played the single player version of each one several times.

For a while we were into Warcraft, but got bored with that as well.

These days, my wife plays various games on Pogo everyday, and we occasionally will play COD4 online or just against each other over the LAN. Lately just about all I play is the new Tales of Monkey Island series from Telltale games. Monkey Island was an old adventure game series from Lucas Arts years ago (that I got hooked on in the Commodore Amiga days), before they decided that Star Wars was the only thing anybody wanted to play. :rolleyes:

Fortunately, Lucas Arts recently remade the original Monkey Island, which was nice (I hope they do more), and as mentioned above, Telltale Games has started a new series of games based on Monkey Island and even still has all of the "key" voice actors. It's an adventure game, and I know those sort of went out of style and lost out to the fast-paced and more exciting FPS games and more recently the MMOG and MMORPG games that the younger (and sometimes older) crowd loves. And don't get me wrong, at 37 years old, I love the FPS games as well, but the market has become saturated with them and while there are some very nice ones, there are also some pretty crappy ones. It all started with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom (iD software) and in my heart, those two guys paved the way for all these FPS clones. Many of the latest generation FPS games blow away the best of iD's games (Quake 3/4, Doom 4, etc), but they are the true fathers of the genre as we know it today.

I also love to play FSX and even have the rudder pedals and yoke. My dad is a private pilot and he has let me take the controls at uncritical moments (i.e., I've never taken off or landed in real life). It's fun, but realistically I doubt I will ever get a license to fly so I enjoy flying on the computer.

And as for the MMOG or MMORPG games.... I simply do not have the time and in all honesty I am afraid to even try one because I fear that I'd get hooked and again, I just don't have the time for it! :)

Don't believe a word Schism says, he's a PUNK who can't play TF2!

I play TF2, pretty much exclusively on the DiG Custom Maps server as =DiG= Dead Newbie. And yes, I snipe Schism every time I get a chance.

I also play Eve online (when not in TF2). In Eve I am a proud member of Goonswarm (which means I spend most of my time trying to grief everybody else).

Seriously though, if your a TF2 player the custom map is hella fun! Especially on Friday nights (which is our custom custom night).

I am mainly a first person shooter fan. I got into back in the old BBS days and 14000 baud modems. First game I played online was Descent, then Doom and Doom2. Nowadays I still play Quake3 because I think, still to this day, no other game has rivaled the online FPS experience better. The only thing that got better was the graphics. I also play RTS games against the AI.

Used to be a top ranked counterstrike player.. That was years ago, played again recently and got my ... handed to me.

Recently picked up a PS3 and absolutely love the game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Been playing the Uncharted 2 multiplayer demo and love it. Game of the year right there.. It's being released tonight at midnight.. Don't think I'll pick it up until tomorrow, though.

Add me to your PS3 if you like, I'm MrVaper :)

I'm a big wow fan. Been playing since release. I'm also one of those hated multi boxers. I play 5 accounts. 3 elemental shammys, 1 restro/boomkin druid, 1 tankadin.

I also have 4 priests, warrior. Hunter,mage,warlock,pally,rogue.
Those are my current teams. I have over 17 level 60's one of every class. Plus some lowbies in the mix to mess around with my mom, aunt, brother, sis in law, and kids.

I played Ultima Online for 8 years. Before that diablo and starcraft.

Console games. Xbox 360, dreamcast(x2), ps2, nintendo game cube.
On the dreamcast I played fantasy star online. I also pound it out on rock band with the kids. I of course play the drums. =)

All of the family gaming is funded by non other then the.............................. Mother- in- law. LOL
She funds all the family gamin needs/wants. Guess its great to be the only child.. LOL
I think the only thing we have purchased was 2 guitars. And that is because I didn't want to wait for the card. Hubby was at work I was at best buy..

I like adventure games... online I play Guild Wars (on and off) and I play HOMM 3-5 (Heroes of might and magic 3-5) My soon to be 7 year old loves HOMM and when I let him has a character on GW he is the real game freak in the house....

I did not know they came out with a fallout 3 we use to have one and two.... back in the day before kids hubby and I would LAN play baldur's gate (before we broke the first CD, darn disks ending up on the floor) and if I get really board there is always the PS2...

My hubby likes HOMM4 because he can have more then one hero in an army and if they are up there in levels....he he

I have gotten most my family hooked on HOMM3 over the years.... and last year I found a download for over 3000 maps for it, HEHE I know I am more likely to stay up all night playing HOMM then any other game...lol and last time hubby was home we only played 3 large maps took a week and staying up half the night...lol

We where a little disappointed with HOMM5 too but its not that bad....

yeah i finished it in about 50 hours. that's not bad.. but much shorter than i wanted it to be. i did 95% of the side quests approx.
