Oh boy, I'd have to just post my top 5 game series since I tend to like the series more than individual releases.

1) Age of Empires series (mainly AoM and AoE2)
2) Elder Scrolls 3 and 4
3) Starcraft
4) Diablo 2
5) Call of Duty 4 and 6

Used to love point & click adventure games, favorite was Full Throttle - even though it was tragically short. Other than that love Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Age of Empires Series, Medieval 2 Total War, Civilisation 2, Half Life 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Broken Sword Series, Monkey Island Series, Sid Meiers Pirates...

There are a lot of games I like, but I guess RPG's have been my mainstay for a long time now.

Vanilla: Deus Ex
With added community content: Pandemic Studios' Battlezone 2.

Every game I like (including RPGs) has a lot of user made content to spice things up. I had to think long and hard, but Deus Ex is the only game I run completely modless. I think it deserves some kudos for being the most complete good game right off the shelf.

Sins. Sins of a Solar Empire.

I love the scope and gameplay -- if only they made the game move a little faster, so I wouldn't be sitting there not noticing that it was 4 in the morning. :laugh:

Games that are addictive should not take forever to complete. :D

Perhaps not THE favorite game, as it mostly depends on my moods and how much time I have to spend for gaming, but lately I've been playing a lot Dwarf Fortress.

Nice little game which is very hooking, and it's easy to play it in short bursts (like between lessons in university, or if the going lecture is actually boring, playing during the lecture... :o )

Haven't had enough time for "serious" gaming lately, with 8 hours in uni + 8 hours in work almost daily, so at the moment my favorite games are the ones I can play in short periods.

Welcome to the world where loosing is your official and only goal, where magma is solution to everything and where physics, as we know them, doesn't always apply... :D

What?!

*release magma*

Sorry, wasn't able to resist :o :laugh:

But more seriously, the bugines depends partially on what version you are playing. And graphics can be made better with graphics packs. Just pm me if you want more info. And you have to remember, the game is still in alpha stage, though there should be huge update coming any day now...
