Have you ever looked up a cheat code or strategy and then found you don't really care for the game anymore? That happened to me recently.

Unreal Tounrament (the original) - PC

Halo - XBox

and um.....
is there anything else?

[Ahnold]

oooo my kind of post! I recently burned out playing Star Wars Galaxies (MMORPG) but I'll be back in it when they release the Space Expansion (need to have my own X-Wing!!).

lately I've been cycling through some of my strategy games like Rise of Nations (love the Conquer the World campaign) and Kohan (very good fantasy strat game).

on XBox, Halo is always a good time, finished Knights of the Old Republic (great storyline - Lucas should have hired these guys to write his last two screenplays). Looking forward to Thief 3 next.

So, Call of Duty is as good as they say? I really liked Medal of Honor and its expansions, so I assumed CoD would be pretty cool.

CoD is wonderful.

They announced a new release date for Doom3: August 3. This year. :-)

Original UT, eh? That was released in 1999, you realize. Get in the 21st century! ;-)

um...hi all...middle-aged mom here, knows nothing about video games BUT....I let my son hook up his newly aquired Wii in the family room the other night....what a blast!!!!! I am not sure what we were playing exactly, it was a game with tennis, bowling, cow racing ( ), etc. I have not laughed that hard in a long time...it was hilarious!! The whole family gathered around the TV and my son had a couple of friends over...we ordered pizza...a great time was had by all What I really like about the Wii is you do get some physical activity playing some of the games...obviously, it's not like running a marathon or anything...but it's better than the kids sitting glassy-eyed in front of the screen with nothing but their thumbs moving My son teases me because I played Atari (still have my 2600 in the garage with about 40 games!!) in my youth, but he is happy that I have come into the present century ( ) and have become a Wii "groupie." Anyway, just thought I would share

Long live the Wii!!!!!

I'm waiting for the Wii lightsabers!

My son is into Runescape (so yeah, I actually understand what the post above yours refers to somewhat). I was concerned that it would be just thumb exercise for my son, but whatever - he has friends whose parents I trust who play the game too, so we thought we'd give it a whirl.

Anyway, what's funny is he'll tell me stuff like "Did you know that if you mix tin with copper you get bronze?" or he'll describe in perfect detail how to build a canoe or that planting marigolds keeps pests out of your crops (dunno if that's true or not), and I'll ask him how he knows that stuff, and he'll say "Runescape". So it's actually pretty educational, especially if you plan to do any time traveling to the Middle Ages.

So I guess I'll let him keep playing it, since I never know when I'll need him to help me do some canoe building or bronze casting.

The Sims 2. Yeah, I know, it's a little late to the game, but when I originally got it back when it came out, my computer was WAY too slow to handle it. When I moved my desk, I found the disk and installed it and I've been playing a lot this week.

Of course, Jesse and I just died, so now our son is wandering around mourning all the time. He's getting close to elderly, so I think I'll let him die off and then be done with it. It's fun, but it is really one of those games that you can't just play a "quck game" of.

Also, Diner Dash 2. I love that game

[Al Waysrite]

I've come across this really cool game. It's called Pong.
You hit a little blip on your screen with a bar of light and it bounces across the screen where another bar hits it back. What will they think of next?

[DalOwnerX3]

We just picked up Mario Party 8 for our Wii. Simple mini-games that doesn't require a lot of coordination. While the Wii remote is a bit more easy to use, some of the mini games on Super Monkey Ball and Rayman's Raving Rabbits are still a bit tricky to use for non-gamers.

For PC - I'm catching up on some of the older games - No One Lives Forever 2 and Halo.

[Solartide]

Runescape.

Just about the worst game ever.

I'm playing Final Fantasy III/VI

Desktop Tower Defense, booya!
