OT: Gaming

I'm much more of a console gamer (in fact I was playing Zelda 2 on my NES tonight) however my coworkers are all geeks (well technially they're engineers...) and they always talk about: World of Warcraft (MMORPG) Oblivion (RPG) Half-Life 2 (FPS) F.E.A.R. (FPS) Unreal Tournement 200X (FPS)

and some slightly other older noteable breastles were: Farcry (FPS) Rise of Nations (RTS) Counter Strike (SBRTS) DOOM3 (FPS) The Sims 2 (not sure how to describe it, basically you play God)

Key: RTS -- Real Time Strategy(like C&C: Generals) SBFPS -- Squad Based First Person Shooter (like Halo) MMORPG -- Mbuttively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game

When I was youger I use to play coputer games a bit more and the ones I remember fondly were: Command & Conquer: Tiberium Dawn Sun Read Alert 2 (RTS) Warcraft 2 Star Craft (RTS) Quake (FPS) Black & Whte (Sims like)

In my opinion those games were very well designed and you can often find them for dirt cheap in bargain bins at stores. I was never much of an online gamer (not counting Quake LAN parties), but you appear to be so perhaps these breastles aren't as appealing to you.
