Still plodding along with Fallout 3. Been playing a swordsman of late--a swordsman who's fond of mines. Just had some fun taking out the slavers at the Lincoln Memorial by sneaking around and laying out a minefield in front of some fallen pillars, taking a couple of potshots with an assault rifle (just enough to get them to pursue), and then finally retreating behind the pillars (and the minefield). Lots of BOOM! followed. Took out 5 slavers that way--cleaned up the rest with the sword. That was fun.
Also still playing the odd game of Oblivion, if only so I can get charged up to resume my writing.

I bought the first Assassin's Creed about two weeks ago with the intention of playing it through then getting the second but have given up halfway. That game has the worst controls I've ever struggled with. I know exactly what I want to do, but rather than playing the game I'm fighting with the camera and controls to do another repetative quest with an utterly forced flow. So I gave up. Has anyone tried the new one? Is it any better?
Otherwise I play the odd game of Fallout 3 but tend to struggle not to play the same character as last time - I just like Small Guns, Explosives and Sneak too much.

I started getting into dragon age:origins for a while, but I just got bored of it.. a bit too D&D for me I suppose

I recntly re-installed my morrowind and I'm in the process of modding the hell out of it, which counts as playing?
I dunno...
I dont suppose anyone here still plays solitare on their computer do they?

Been playing a bunch 'o games here.
Gears of War - My Bro has had it for the last 3-4 years and just picked it up and lovin it.
Dragon Age: Origins - Better then my expectations, because my expectations were pretty low. It will never be the new morrowind, Bioware just cant make a decent sandbox. Sten however, totally kicks @$$.
Assassins' Creed 2 - Wow! This completely outdid the original! There is still some standard side-quests but at least they are varied and interesting unlike the same thing over and over with the First. Plus now you can taunt when you fight.
Velvet Assassin - Nothing to see here folks, just keep on walking. Yeah, pretty bad, which sucks cuz with just a little more development this could have been a pretty good title. Alas....
Wet - While I expect any Bethseda title other then TES to suck in general, this game kicks some serious @$$! If you like Quentin Tarantino films, al la Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, you simply must play this title.
More reviews to come.

I don't have any of those fancy gaming consoles everyone else seems to have, just my trusty Sega Dreamcast and
Nintendo 64 
But I play most of my games on my PC, which currently consists of Oblivion, Dragon Age Origins, and Medieval Two Total War (Stainless Steel 6.1). And I'll probably drop everything and play Assassin's Creed 2 in May, as I can't play it right now

Haha - I can go in my bedroom closet and pull out a Supernintendo !!! ROFL !!!
By the way Darkom, I have a desktop version of all the Sega games in a zip file, if you want to play them on the PC.

Oblivion.
I tend to get absurdly deep into a game and stay there for years. So it was with Diablo II, then the Baldur's Gate saga. By the time I was ready to move to TES, Oblivion was current, so that is exclusively where I have lived for the last almost three years.
I would imagine that after the patchers and modders have had a year or two to work with TES5, I might transition my character there. If TES5 turns out not to our liking, I may move her to a modded version of TESIII.

I am the same way. Before I found Oblivion last fall, I spent about two and half years playing and modding Rome Total War to the complete exclusion of any other game else. Now OB is the only thing I ever play. I expect it will be for a long time to come. Even after playing it for about seven months there are still plenty of things I have not done!

I am one of those people who loves to play a game, but hates to finish a game. I don't get much enjoyment out of replaying a game that I have already finished (which is strange, because I can read the same books and watch the same movies over and over). That is why Oblivion (and Morrowind before it) are perfect games for me. I have played Oblivion on and off for three years without ever once touching the main quest.

Steel Panthers WWII and Morrowind- Bloodmoon.
No Oblivion until I can afford a PCI-E graphics card. And probably no screen-shots of Athynae- the integrated video chipset reacts badly to the head-replacer mod and causes artifacts which= the appearance of "Dunmer pattern baldness."

Steel Panthers brings back memories. I just could not get into the modern era sequel, but the original set in Dubya Dubya Eye Eye just rocked my socks off. Tons of excellent historical battles to play out, and lively campaigns from so many different points of view. I loved the scenario where you play the U.S. Marines invading one of the two little islands next to Guadalcanal. That was a real nail-biter! Or the alternate history one where you defend San Francisco from the Japanese. I lost so many hours of my life to that game, and do not regret a minute!

If you are still interested, these guys
Camo Workshop have completely recoded the game so it runs natively under Windows. It is a free download.
No need for DOSBOX or similar; sound, mouse, and video work under Win XP, etc. Lots of other features, but one of the best:

Morrowing GOTY edition arrived this afternoon! It's pretty darn good.

Started a new game as an Imperial who signed up with the legion straight away, he heard some rumours of a place called Solstheim and has gone to check it out...
Ufortunately he ran into some Reavers and got owned so I went back to the drawing board (Or the character creation screen as some call it) and created:
'Hjolfyr the Nord', hunter and woodsman by trade, this crossbow weilding, light armour wearing snow wolf hunter soon became interested in the EEC and is now sitting comfortably at the top of the carreer ladder in raven rock. He is also doing the Skaal tests in his spare time.

Mass Effect 2 was great, I'm so glad I played it before its predecessor which may be the worst game I've ever played. The storyline may well have been good but I never managed to see it through my rage at the non-functional controls and diabolical cover system. Unfortunatly the offer of a decent storyline kept dragging me back until I sold the game to be rid of it. It was the whole third attempt I know how to do this bit then spending the next half hour trying to make the controls do what I wanted them to. And don't get me started on the AI.
So yes, reading the plot online was more for me.
Currently I'm playing some fairly poor military flight 'sim' (it's very arcade like though) I can't remember the name of. Good to play for short moments between exam revision though. After that I might play fallout or mass effect 2 again.

Also, for my XMas present - I bought myself Morrowind for the PC - FINALLY !!! I couldn't stand playing it backwards compatably on my 360 !!! So maybe now I'll get to see some of these quests I've been reading about !!! (YEAH !!!)

I've finally decided to dust off my copy of Flight Simulator 2004 while I wait for my new sound card to arrive before getting back into Oblivion.
Old man's "game?" Hardly even a game... with the right add-ons. Especially when you are flying planes like
these. Bamboozled? You have every right to be, everything you see there works the way it should, from the instruments to the systems to the computer. Everything.
(Photo is from the cockpit of a Boeing 747-400)
That particular plane was a payware add-on provided by the Precision Manuals Development Group (PMDG) and is officially licensed by Boeing. THAT'S realistic.
