Yeah, I can agree. I think the best part about it is the team-work. A six man squad with an excellent squad leader makes for good game-play. The huge maps, access to squad vehicles, people with mics, and realism adds to the strategy too. The only down-side to the mod I see is some of the kits you can apply for and a few of the weapons. That's really about it. Overall, I'd give the game a 10/10. I love it.

I have Trainz Classics simulator installed on my computer. I play with it often. I'm in the process of creating a tram route in that game.

I prefer action and platforming games.

The Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Kirby, and Pokemon series from Nintendo
Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper from Sony
LittleBIGplanet

But my favorite game of all time has to be Ōkami.
It is a marvel of storytelling and gameplay, but faced poor sales.
You can find it on the PS2 or Wii, both for around 20 dollars.
I highly recommend picking it up if you are looking for 40-60 hours of entertainment!

Oh and it won the 2006 Ursa Major award for best game :lol:.

Picked up on "Dead Frontier" recently. All I can say is, "Wow."
As some may know, I am a HUGE fan of the undead movies and games. I'm a huge fan of the whole horror genre period. As I was exploring through Google trying to find a zombie game to play, I stumbled across the Dead Frontier Website. It was a quick and easy sign up, and before I knew it, I was in-game. They call it the "#1 Zombie MMO". Though I can't entirely agree, it probably is.

I got into the first online room, and it was dope. 6 player capacity, and it's just a zombie onslaught. After a few hours of play, I was level 10 (and still am x_x). The mechanics of the game are pretty simple, and so is the in-game politics. Basically, just like in every other zombie horror, survive, loot, kill, eat, repeat. The only con I see of the game is that it was made in Flash. Not only that, the actionscript is a bit out of date, and the game play is from over head view third person. But in early or late July, they will be releasing a 3-D version of the game. I am anticipating that it will be much better and even more fun.

And finally, best of all, IT'S FREE. But, you can however pay for a "Gold Membership". Anyways, I'd give this game a nice rating of about... 8.5/10. There are a few flaws, but I'm sure they will be fixed with the nearest update. If any of you are interested in playing, it's simple, just go here and sign up:

Yeah, there is. Suppost to be coming out later July or early August. Or so they say. I can't wait to play it. Seems like it'll be 10x times better than the 2-D version. But as stated, the game is great. It's kept me busy for quite awhile. I believe I am addicted.

Speaking of free games, I recently got into playing Combat Arms. It's one of those free-to-play-but-if-you-want-the-great-items-you-have-to-pay-real-money-for-them kind of games. Still, I haven't paid a dime yet and I enjoy it. It's fast paced, easy to run at the highest quality, and just plain fun. If anyone's interested, just ask me for my username and I'll give it to you.

Rent it. Trust me. I bought it, and I never play it anymore after beating the extremely short campaign. The replay value for the game is very low, but the first play through of the campaign is like taking pillz in L4D. Doesn't last forever, but is the best feeling in the world.

League of Legends when I'm not dodging friends. It's a great dota clone that's free to play. Game is funded through micropayments. Don't need to pay to play though, its not like some systems where if you buy stuff you are god.

I have a lot, but I don't play them too much...
Right now, my longest-played (and currently-played) MMO is Perfect World International.
If anybody is on Sanctuary, you should tell me...

I played Dekaron/2Moons for a bit but got bored due to a dying player base and lack of updates/customization.

It sucks, I know, but it was my first MMO so it still has a place in my heart: Runescape. I've got a Lv103 aimlessly wandering in F2P...


Offline I don't do much, although when I do I generally play some of my emulators.

Oh yeah, I was gonna say something in this but never got round to it.

I've played Runescape for years, even though I never train and only have fun. Leval 99 in members, and a 99 Woodcutting cape! Also, I'm not playing at the moment, but I always sign up for a month when an update I think is cool comes on.

I've not played World of Warcraft for awhile, but I've got a leval 80 Warlock. I'll probably start that again when Cataclysm comes out!

For offline gaming, I've always loves Spyro. I've got all of them, and loved all of them. Whilst, I prefer the original set, I still like the newer games. Frodo Baggins voice acts Spyro. What's not to like?

I get into new games as they come out for a week or two. I recently (finally) got my hands on Saints row 2. Love it. The humour is great, and the ability to throw is just awesome.

My most recently played games online on my Xbox would be: Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Red dead redemption is one of the best games I've ever played. It's beautiful. I love moral systems. Battle system is great. I'm sure you all know Call of Duty's elements though. It's fun, great storyline and veteran was hard...but not impossible.

A game I think sounds promising is Bloodline Champions. A kind of RTS arena game, with either 3v3 or 5v5 (I think). It's still Beta though, but sounds very promising :3

First battle report (Uh, if you wonder what kinda accent that is, it's a swedish accent ;p)

Yeah, pretty much the same as Flint.
I find a game, then he and I start playing it together.
It's been that way for pretty much 7 years.

I first found MMOs when a friend introduced me to Runescape (the first version) back in 2003.
I played it a lot for at least 3 years, and I still do play, but mostly to keep up with my friends.
The quest system is the highlight of the game for me. It is has more immersive quests than any other MMO I can think of.
I've taken to using the same name as I have on these forums for my character:
Image
Yes, the graphics aren't WoW, but I've never minded.

I am currently playing Dofus with my brother.
It is a French MMO with a rather unique combat system (turn-based strategy).
However, it quickly loses its initial appeal in that department and soon you are just grinding for levels.
It is addictive though, and I have a lot of fun playing in groups.
Community is very weak though.
Image

Then I sparsely play PWI and Rangarok Online when my brother and I are in the mood for them.
Never tried WoW, I'd probably like it. But that's exactly what I'm afraid of.

Touhou 10.5 and/or 12.3: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku.
Great fighting spinoffs based on the Touhou series.

And yeah, offline, the entire Touhou series.
I'm currently flipping out because Komeiji Satori from 11 is far too difficult for a Stage 4 boss.

Battle Field 2: Bad company 2, and reveling in it.

I just had a amazing round in the game. one of the proudest Leroy's I've ever done happened.


I chased back a tank with a Medic (with no ammo, and a Medic doesn't have a way to blown one up anyway), my squad died, I really couldn't get to them without being shot. so I ran towards the tank managed not to get shot by it and ran along side it. the driver thought I was a Engineer (RPG) or a Sniper (C4) apparently, and backed up sixty yards or so. giving my team enough time to have an engineer take aim. Unfortunately there was a sniper and he nailed me. but it was glorious.

Great game.
