[Cybvep]

I'm currently playing:
- EB
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (with mods)
- Europa Universalis III
- Anno 1701

I love, but I'm not playing anymore:

- Planescape: Torment
- SW: KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic)
- Fallout 2
- Fahrenheit (aka Indigo Prophecy)
- Civilization 2

My biggest disappointment:
- TESIV: Oblivion (It has no TES feeling and no TES lore... I had tried to enjoy it, but found myself unable to do it, even with mods... Although one of its expansions, Shivering Isles, was very good)

Nowadays, it's hard to find good games... The only ones I'm awaiting for are:
- Fallout 3
- Assassin's Creed
- Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway

[Arkatreides]

Games I play regularly/are installed (in no particular order):

1) RTW+EB (of course)
2) Civilization IV+expansions (also Civ III on my laptop which can't handle IV)
3) SMAC/X (Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri)
4) Rise of Nations
5) GTA: San Andreas
6) X3
7) Oblivion
8) XCOM Ufo Defense (on my PDA )

1) Sim City 2000
2) System Shock
3) Fallout I+II (CANNOT wait for III!)

7) Master of Orion II
8) Star Wars TIE Fighter
9) Heroes of Might and Magic III

[Conradus]

My faves

Rome Total War (with EB)
GTA:SA
Civ IV
Enemy Territory
Call of Duty
Guild Wars (especially Nightfall)
Age of Empires
Morrowind (with mods)

Biggest dissapointment
Oblivion and M2TW (I hope kingdoms is better)

[Hooahguy]

favorite games-
1) EB (this counts as a separate game, right?)
2) RTW & BI
3) Halo 2 (do xbox games count?)
4) ghost recon- advanced warfighter
5) Age of Empires II
7) Brothers in Arms (all 3 games)
8) battlefield 2
9) battlefield 2142
10) World at War

biggest disappointment-
1) Age of Empires III
(i don't recommend buying it- a cannon can reach targets halfway across the map, and you can only make 200 units, and that includes villagers? and cannons cost 7 population! the worst part about it is that they show that musketeers line up and fire in rank, but that a big lie! never did that while i was playing it! the funny thing was, many AoE III fans were bashing RTW over at the AoE forums, and i came to its defense -i do check those forums every so often- some retard said you needed ridiculously high system specs to play it even mediocrely! how wrong is that?! i played RTW with the bare minimum req., and it played fine, barely any lag, but try to play AoE III with that same computer, its like seeing a slideshow! but seriously people, AoE III is a waste of money.)

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

My top games I've played in the last year or so:
1) RTW (With EB. Before I joined EB, I played tons of mods: Aurthurian, RoP, RTR, Troy.)
2) M2TW (I started playing to figure out the engine. It's kind of fun in a "I always win!" type of way.)
3)Oblivion (gets boring quickly)
4)Half-Life 2 (still play it off and on)
5)Final Fantasy XII (man was it boring, never finished)
Those are the only ones I've played to any extent.

Some old, good ones:
The Baldur's Gates
The KoTORs
Final Fantasy VII (when they peaked)
Wolfenstien 3D

[kalkwerk]

Im puzzled that noone mentioned HOI2 (with its excellent mods) yet. Is it because people dont know it or because they dont like it?

[Swordmaster]

Sim City 2000

Holy crap, you're still playing that ol' fucker? Had great times with that about 10 years ago.

I only care for a handful of games: Civ 3, Caesar 3, SC3K, EB.

[Orb]

1. Baldur's Gate II
Best. Game. Ever.
2. Fallout
I preferred it to the second, for some reason.
3. Planescape: Torment
4. KOTOR series.
5. Medieval Total War
6. Prince of Persia series (1&3 being much better than 2)
7. Mount & Blade with The Last Days mod
8. Shadow of the Colossus
9. Warcraft III/Frozen Throne, if only for the beautiful campaign story, which is by far the best for any RTS I've owned. I really do suck at the game though.
10. Age of Empires III

EB, of course, goes without saying.

On the whole Age Of... Series, I agree that 2 was great, but I've always preferred AOM:TT and AOE III, and can't really understand why people would prefer the second. The campaigns, I admit, were much better, but the game itself seems to have improved.

[steve_s]

1. starcraft
2.Counterstrike
3.rome total war(when modded)
i look forward to crysis, and starcraft 2.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

The only games I've played in the past three years are:

1. EB
2. March Madness 2007 (PS2)
3. NCAA Football 2006 (PS2)
4. NCAA Basketball 2006 (PS2)
4. M2TW (about 5 hours of it)

I bought Caesar III and played about 30 minutes with it and never touched it again.

[NeoSpartan]

My top 10 games:

0: Europa Barbarorum II
1: Europa Barbarorum
3: StarCraft
.....What else is there??????
Oh yes...
4: Contra (Nintendo)
5: Age Of Empires I

thats about it..... I am not sure about StarCraft II, I hope the story doesn't get too creasy and stupid when the game comes out.

[Kushan]

When I'm not modding, I'm currently playing (In no particular order):
- M2TW (with mods)
- FATW
- EB
- WOW (Although I have been phasing this out)

Old games I dont play much:
- Starcarft
- Morrowind (Best RPG I have ever played when fully modded)

Disappointments:
- TES IV: Oblivion ( Dont get me started on it, all hype no substance. No TES lore, *sigh* I'll stop now)


I have a number of other games installed on my comp but I dont really play them.

Sigh...unfortunately that's true. They significantly "dumbed down" TES IV Oblivion to make it playable to mainstream gamers...and in the process really lost the best aspects present in TES III Morrowind.


My Top 10:

1. Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of time (N64)
2. Total Annihilation (expansions Battle Tactics and Core Contingency)
3. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (expansions Bloodmoon and Tribunal)
4. Starcraft (expansions Brood War)
5. Half Life 2 (mods, etc)
6. Rome Total War (mods EB and RTR)
7. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
8. Counterstrike: Source
9. Day of Defeat: Source
10. America's Army

[Xehh II]

1. Baldurs Gate II
2. GTA San Andreas
3. Fahrenheit

[Treverer]

In no order of favor:

- Civ & its spinoffs: Colonization, Master of Magic, diverse others
- RR Tycoon 1 & 2
- Might & Magic 6 & 7, to a lesser degree M&M8
- Age of Wonders 1, 2 & Shadow Magic
- Knights of Honour
- Gothic 1
- HOI 2 & DD, several mods: mod34, Byzantine mod, Kaiserreich
- Medieval 1
- Panzergeneral (all of them, actually), I love this ol' RTB strategic games
- Tropico
- NWN 1, especially the module: "The Aielund Saga" (it's amazing)
- Morrowind
- Imperium Galacticum 1
- Master of Orion II (on vh, to get the AI races get the most bonuses ;-))
- Heroes of M&M 3 & 4 (to a lesser degree: 1 & 2)
- Capitalism 1 & 2
- Fallout 1 & 2, even more Fallout Tactics
- Planescape Torment
- Temple of Elemental Evil (with the Co8 patch: it's how it should have been)

and now my all time favorites:
- Icewind Dale 1 & 2 (2 even more than 1)

and finally

- BG 1 & 2 (with expansions)

God, what did I play BG 1 !!

P.S. Oh, I forgot RTW, with RTR or EB. And BI with IBFD. Silly me!

P.P.S. I'm getting old: I forgot the SSI's AD&D RPGs for the Atari ST & Commodore C64. Also on C64: The Bard's Tale 1 to 3, Choplifter, Summer / Winter Games ...

[Bootsiuv]

1. EB
2. Civ III Conquests (so easy to mod)
3. C&C: Generals
4. Warcraft III
5. Diablo II and expansion
6. Soul Caliber III
7. Freelancer
8. Starcraft
9. Any Zelda
10. Any Final Fantasy (although VII was the best I've played)

I'm looking forward to Starcraft II and a few WWII first person shooters (Call of Duty 4 mainly).

Biggest disappointment for me has been LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth II. The graphics were great, and the units and abilities were pretty cool, but the campaign felt rushed, with such short uninspired cutscenes that I felt completely uninvolved. Games that are just rehashes of the millions of other RTS's need good storylines, otherwise there just command and conquer with wizards and dragons.

[Thaatu]

Holy crap, you're still playing that ol' fucker? Had great times with that about 10 years ago.

The last time I played it was within five months. Oh, and I probably should have included Fallout 1, Final Fantasy VII or IV and Star Wars: X-Wing to the list, maybe replacing Arcanum, Civ III and... I can't! Too hard to choose.
