There is a new CS coming out...wonder if it comes out on the xbox? That was my game back in the day! lol

It's called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It will be multi-platform. But a gamepad is no substitute for a keyboard/mouse combo. I will stick with the PC version. I can't believe it's been 12 years since I started playing (beta). *sigh* oh, the nostalgia. [=

I myself play WoW, toons name is the same as my SN here. Tried my hand at paper DnD and a few other pen and paper RPG's and could never get that into it. I have A PS3, PSP, DS, Wii, and my gaming desktop. Which currently I have a PSx emulator and FF9 (among others) and the Witcher 1 and 2 that I can not seem to put down. Waiting to waste my time with Diablo III when it comes out. My main in wow is an 85 gnome lock that I have been playing since about 6 months after release. I also have a bunch of alts that are low in level that I never play. I do have a DK that perked my interest for a while but I abandoned him as well.

The hubby and I play wow though we didn't start as far back as some of you guys have. We have been buying and experiencing the expansions one at a time. We're up to WOTLK now, At some point we will buy cata as well. But we tend to MMO hop. We started out on Guild Wars, then went to Lord of the Rings online before it was F2P. After a while we finally decided to try wow, and right now were breaking from it and checking out RIFT which has been a lot of fun. We're both waiting for Guild Wars 2 to come out though...I wish they would hurry up....lol.

I want to try out rift, it seems like a cool concept of a mmo, but I have tired other MMO's besides wow (Aeon was a huge disappointment) and everything seems like it wants to be WoW. If I want to play wow, I will play wow. I want to see something imaginative and new. I hoping KOTOR is just that, because I am getting tired of cata, and the new panda xpac, even though I have high hopes for, knowing the track record of WoW, its going to be fail.

*just an explanation of what I mean by that. Original WoW was off the hook. Next came BC, which I stood in line for 6 hours on release to get my copy, installed and played it all night until I had to go to work. I was amazed. Then I was deployed for the lunch of WotLK but got it as soon as I got back home. It was cool for a little bit, but IMO they changes the system to much and it got old fast. Then came Cata, which was the cataclysm of fun in wow. Gone are the days of people doing raids for fun, people /rage quit @ one group fail, and over all there is such a division between the player base (super hardcore guilds that raid every day, semi hardcore guilds, normal guilds, causal guilds, "noobs" and I could go on...) that it lacks much fun for me. I remember back in vanilla it didn't matter what your gear score was, or how much DPS one person put out, as long as the boss got dropped it was a good day. I remember being carried though MC/ony/BWL for the first few guild runs, because my gear sucked. Overall as I got gear I could start to carry others, and it all worked out. I missed the downing of rag in vanilla with my guild, because of the army, but then picked up ony with no issue, even tho my gear was still sub par. T2 warlock helm=the best ever. But those days are long gone with ilvl requirements, a**es of raid leaders that want you to have the achievement before the run (you need experience with this raid, how do I get experience with the raid if no one lets me raid because I need experience with the raid?) anyways Ill QQ now.

Another Skyrim pre-order here, I think I'm going to take next Monday off just because.
I've played a little WOW but I know I would become way too addicted to it, so I've mostly avoided it.
I'm a PC gamer still, mostly FPS's and Fantasy RPG's.
I've been playing a ton of Minecraft..it's like my own little zen garden...with zombies...

I used to play AD&D (1.0 and 2.0) but haven't played in many years.
Now that my boys are teens I'm going to have to teach them how to play (4.0)

Another WoW gamer here; I play bothsides, Ally on Dragonmaw and Horde on Mal'Ganis.... Raided in Vanilla, BC, and Wrath, been getting more into PvP now with RBGs available.

Only class I haven't played at endgame at some point is rogue. Was an OG WoW Beta tester before vanilla dropped, and haven't unsub'd since :( Great thing is, I don't have to take breaks in playing to run outside anymore!

Oh, and for all us 'old' gamers:

Besides many too many years playing AD&D and Magic:The Gathering, I used to play SWG a long long time ago; occasionally I pop into Eve Online. My only regular game at the moment is Second Life, although a recent move which resulted in no internet for 3 weeks (the horror, the horror!) had me dust off the old Xbox and purchase a used copy of Knights of the Old Republic, which is a rather stellar game. As Morrowind is one of my favorite titles of all time I'd love to play Skyrim, but had to choose between a 360 and a Provari last month (easy guess as to which one won) so that will have to be on the backburner awhile.
