What are you playing!?

In a site like this, I am sure that this topic comes up regularly, but people cycle thier gaming preferences all the time, so it is good to bring it up now and then. Especially when you have newbs arriving in the Droves!

So, i put to you, fellow working gamers: In the off time, what do you play at your PC or on your console?

Here's my list.

SAVAGE! is my current love.
GTA-Vice City for when i just feel like ripping it up. my fave about this game is downloading an advanced save game, cheating to give em a tone of weaponry and doing vigalante missions till i cant feel my fingers.
Knights of the Old Republic - i have it on hold for now, but will get back to it eventually...
Max Payne 2 - ya, ok, so i like to shoot stuff...so shoot me. this one's also on hold because i cant get past one spot and it's KILLIN me.

I was on a MMORPG kick for about 6 years...played everytning from EQ to Star Wars Galaxies with lots of them in between...DAOC, planetside, AC2, AO...
I am off them for now, due to the little guy in the picture under my name coming any time. I dodnt want to get involved in anythign that i had to pay for since i may not even look at the pc for a coupel of months!

So? what you got?

*Title Edit by Certis*

We're not total sticklers for language by try to keep topic titles clean.

Did you really have to put a ""h - e - double toothpicks"" in the title? Sheesh.

I am still hopelessly addicted to Project Gotham Racing 2. On occasion, when I feel like I have to drag myself away from its inimitable charms, I pop Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in, but it''s half-hearted.

Funny, I was in a similar boat. My first MMORPG was Star Wars Galaxies...It released on June 26th and my second son was born July 22nd. You can guess how long I played past my free month

Congratulations, by the way!! Your first?

I''m currently playing Prince of Persia (PC) and will check out the Far Cry demo tonight. I like PoP a lot, but I''m stuck at the part where you reunite with the woman and have to fight your father and all the bad guys in the reception hall. Frankly, I really hate it when games put such a hard, frustrating obstacle in the way. I''ve spent the past 3 nights playing up to that part from the last save point (waaay back), fighting them until I get frustrated, and then cursing and going to bed. It''s a great game, but my patience is wearing thin. Anyone have any tips?

Far Cry Beta
and
Harvest Moon for GBA SP (I am a farming fool!)

Still chugging away at Prince of Persia. I think I''m at the 54% mark. I''m also working my way through Fire Emblem.

I''m hoping to grab Silent Storm some time this week and then the wait is on for March. I''m looking at,

Far Cry
Pain Killer
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
Half-Life 2

...all in March acording to EBWorld. I''ve got a feeling at least a couple of them may not make it though.

I haven''t successfully shaken the MMOG thing yet, and am currently treading water in Horizons with all my MMOG pals (we''ve been hopping from game to game together since UO) as we wait for WoW.

When I''m not wasting my time on an XP treadmill, I''ve been wasting it with the xbox:

Prince of Persia
Links 2k4 (every time I think I''m doing well, I slice five drives in a row)
PGR2 (I have yet to EVER think I''m doing well in this one)

on my Waiting for list is only one game...
well, two but only one will make it through...

Middle Earth Online and
City of Heros.

Yes this
<--------
is my first, and I am very excited!

Knights of the Old Republic - for the second time, as Dark Sider. I''m to the point where lightsabers aren''t even necessary. Amazing how powerful you can become when you chart your character development!
Shattered Universe - On Rental. Seems to be too short to be worth buying.
Call of Duty - Well, I want to play it, but I can''t quit playing KotOR.
Online Poker - Is it just me, but has poker like taken on a fad status? There''s about five different shows on every night, and everywhere I look, somebody''s playing Hold ''Em.

Future: I''d really like to try out Port Royale. I used to love playing Pirates!

I''m still trying to finish Ikaruga... Goddammit.

I play KOTOR to soften the pain tho

Yes this
<--------
is my first, and I am very excited!

That''s the most easily recognizable ultrasound picture I''ve ever seen! Congrats, it''ll be an enjoyable adventure for you both. This coming from the father of an 8 month old daughter ;).

Currently playing:

PC:
Dark Age of Camelot (still, just waiting for something better)
Knights of the Old Republic (just finished light side, about to start dark side)
Homeworld 2 (sort of)

Xbox:
Beyond Good and Evil

Gamecube:
Dragonballz Budokai (must . . . get . . . more . . capsules!)

Gamebody Advance:
Fire Emblem

""Call of Duty""

i played the single player of this and all i can say is WOW!
this had some of the best sequences i have ever encountered.
if you saw the movie, ""enemy at the Gates"" ther eis a scene straight out of that movie, actually a couple of them, but the most memorable was

Spoiler***

When the russians were in teh boat approaching the shoreline and the officers were yelling that if they turn and run, they would be shot and when they arrived (after the guy being shot in the water with bombs dropping all around them) on shore they were told to pick up the rifle after the guy ahead of you died...rivetting..just rivetting.

i''ll have to play it again, for sure.

Hmm, I''m playing

Beyond Good & Evil
Chaos Legion
Fallout: Tactics
Freedom Fighters

On the PC.

I just installed, but haven''t started playing:

Call of Duty
Armed & Dangerous
Deus EX2
KOTOR

Still getting play, but infrequently:

Halo
Neverwinter
Dungeon Siege Legends of Aranna
Deus EX
Homeworld 2

I tried playing POP on the main rig, but it crashed the system. doesn''t like the old Radeon 7500 much, even when you turn off all the graphics goodies.

I also am playing Diablo II/LOD on the laptop, which I''m limiting to one game on the HD in an effort to finally finish something.

I''m playing Beyond Good & Evil on the gamecube and NWN (both expansions) on the PC. I have also been kicking back with Super Mario 3 or Advance Wars 2 on the SP when I have a chance.

I still have Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and M&L Superstar Saga from Christmas that I haven''t even started!

PC:
- Enemy Territory
- FFXI, but I don''t think I''m gonna be for much longer
- Diablo II on occasion

Xbox:
- PGR2 takes most of what little gaming time I have. Totally addicted, but still get my arse wooped on Live.

Next week will have POP, with the free Splinter Cell game.

Looking forward to WoW, but not looking forward to buying a new computer (current puter is a laptop.)

All I play is Enemy Territory...

every night...over and over again..

On the train I play Final Fantasy Tactics.. I''m roughly halfway I think.

KotOR on Xbox
Dominions II on PC
Madden & NFL Street on PS2

I''m all in the early forties right now. Call of Duty MP and Battlefield 1942 MP. Before that it was MOH Spearhead MP. Just can''t get enough...

Groan, do tell where you got stuck in Max Payne 2, I finished it some time ago, maybe I can dig up a tip for you.

edit: seeing all 10 episodes of Band of Brothers in two consecutive nights didn''t actualy help easing my addiction to WW2 titles.

<THREAD HIJACK>
Speaking of Shooters. Could someone recommend one for the XBox. I love ET on the laptop, but I always feel like I''m at a disadvantage (small screen, sucky video card, etc.) I was thinking of getting one for the Xbox, but I just can''t imagine how it would translate to a controller. Is there a good one that does and works well on Live? It has to be a good multiplayer title. Was holding the RtCW box last time I was in the store.

Still undecided about whether shooters can work on consoles, though.
</THREAD HIJACK>

*ColdForged waits for the first mention of ""Halo"" in response to Propagangalf''s query, and the ensuing fun.*

Homeworld 2 - Thanks to Pyro''s review.

EQ - Looks like I may finally get a toon to 65

Neverwinter Nights - When I can squeeze it in.

Ok, shooters except Halo.

Advance Wars 2. I play it on the game boy when I''m out, and when I get home the first thing I do is put it into the game boy player and play on the TV. I''m hopelessly addicted (I had to buy the game boy player because I was playing so much my hands cramped up and it hurt to type).

I started Ratchet and Clank 2 right after christmas, but I havn''t even plugged my PS2 in since I got the game boy player.

I''ve spent all day wondering if I played the last level I beat wrong. When you beat the game can you go back and play the levels again?

Hmmm....

Right now I''m slogging through Baldur''s Gate 2. That game is, to put it lightly, insanely huge.
Also working on Metroid Prime in Hard mode, and always finding time for some Missionforce: Cyberstorm.

Also also, trying to get back into a classic 4x space conquest game called Stars!. That game continues to rule, 10 years after I first started playing

A bit Ball Attack here, some Lightspeed there. Planning to get back into Anito over the weekend.

Final Fantasy XI
KOTOR

Have Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark installed but haven''t found time for it yet. I''m trying to squeeze in as much MMOG time as I can right now as our first kid is set for a Feb. 29th release

Buffy:Chaos Bleeds and Simpsons: Hit and Run on X-box. On PC, I''m working my way (very slowly) through Arx Fatalis.

Neverwinter nights
A little bit of desert combat
Trying desperately to finish splinter cell
and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

I''m still disturbingly addicted to EQ again. It''s bad this time, though I feel a dismaying sense of pride to have my first character over level 30.

Aside from that I''m playing a very immersive Father Sim which I call ''Why won''t the baby stop crying?!'' Enjoy the time you have Groan, when they''re still surronded by meat like that, they tend to not be quite so noisy and demanding.

And, by the way, those 3d ultrasounds are awesome. We were lucky enough to have one done too, though yours turned out really nice.

When did those 3d ultrasounds come around? My son is 5, and I don''t remember ANYTHING like that at the time. Hell, the only other one I saw was on ER.

its not a 3d one! i was blown away when i saw it! Thax tho...

i got stuck in max2 at the piont after you take on the big pile of guys in the courtyard. when you are protecting the idiot with the big head
thanks
