I think "Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust" would suit you.

My two all-time favorite first-person-shooters are F.E.A.R. and Crysis and Crysis Warhead.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is also great fun.

FPS is great but I honestly prefer RTS, RPG, MMORPG, and DOTA/LoL

I agree with your assessment though.

Not gonna name 10 probably, but lets see...

Definitely Mass Effect 2, that game was sweet. Crysis as well, dug it, can't wait to try Crysis 2. Didn't really like Warhead though, can't put my finger on why. It bothered me that Warhead didn't seem to follow the same time line as the original. (As in the main character didn't support Nomad at the docks) Civilization IV, (that's within the time frame right?) played the heck out of that game. Starcraft 2 as well, I don't normally enjoy RTS's enough to want to play through the campaign again on hard, but I did with SC2.

One that I've wanted to try and never got around to was Arkham Asylum. Looks fantastic, gotta wait til I get my new rig this weekend.

This is two games and not one.

Although it has received and deserves a lot of criticism, I would still put Civilization 5 up there.

I liked DAO and DA 2. So there.

I never really understood why people got wet over Sid Meier. I think the games are dry and boring.

I much prefer the TOTAL WAR series and Rise of Nations.

Speaking of which....SHOGUN 2 COME SOON!

Mass Effect 2? I thought Mass Effect was pretty bad but I've heard good things about ME 2. How do you think it compares?

Any other games? Let's name some that are awesome that aren't as well known.

I was a beast in TFC with the demo man but TF2 I didn't play much...don't know why. Ready for Diablo 3..


Okay, rules out the window...just your favorite games.

Also, what games are you anticipating?! PC only.

Can't wait for the second installment of The Witcher.

Ditto on The Witcher. I was going to check out Gothic 4 though I haven't played the predecessors. How are the graphics? I wish they would make a new Bloodlines. I might download some of the FF series since I haven't played any in awhile...also downloaded WoW and was going to play Cataclysm on a private server...god help me.

Hey Triban, think you should re-size your picture, it clogs up the whole screen. Laughing

ME1 was good, I enjoyed it, but it had a lot of problems. ME2 did a lot to clean up the problems. If you're into action RPG's you should definitely give ME2 a go, it's fantastic.

With no time limit, would have to say Diablo 2 is one of my favorites of all time, and Titan Quest IT as well.

X-Com UFO Defense, one of the greatest games of all time, still load it up every now and then when I get bored with my current games.

Asheron's Call will always hold fond memories for me, first MMO I ever played. Amazing game for it's time, way better than EQ in my opinion. (Still going today actually, but it's waaaaaaay past its prime. Would love to see a true sequel to it though)

I could never get in to The Witcher, I don't know why. I always lost interest about 5 or 6 hours in. Maybe I should load it up again and give it another shot. Just seemed so slow paced, and I didn't like the leveling system.

Assassin's Creed 1 & 2 were both amazing.
