If you want the best NFS game there is, see if you can find Most Wanted. EA really botched the series after that one. Underground 1 & 2 were also pretty good. Carbon, *crap*. Undercover was just OK.

L4D1 was fun. Had quite a few matches that were really great, especially with VOIP enabled. L4D2, blah. Just seemed to bring in more kids that like to hack/ cheat/ rage. I still go back to my clan's server and play ETQW every chance I get. Eh, maybe some UT2004 once in a while. !*salute*!

I have all the NFS series games on the Xbox 360, I only bought Underground cause it was 2.99 on steam, so I figured what the heck.
I also have Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 on the 360, both were fun but I liked 1 the best. I have over 150 Xbox 360 games at home and about 10 for the PS3. I work from home so I don't get much time to play upstairs anymore, hence the new pc addiction!! **!!bow!!**

And the 1 campaigns in 2 are much better because they get to use all the weapons that came with two. As of this writing, all the campaigns from 1 haven't been added to 2 yet, but it sure looks like that's what there doing.


No kidding! I didn't know that. I'll keep an eye out for it then.
Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up on Portal. I've been meaning to get that for a while, and now that it's free I have no excuse not to.

I have a extra copy of Half Life 2: Episode One, if anyone wants it. It's just been collecting virtual dust. Just send me a PM with your email and I'll send it.

EDIT: The EP1 copy has been spoken for.

I just finished Deus Ex Human Revolution. Great game, going to play it again, I missed a lot of side quests. Going to go stealth now. Been revisiting a lot of older games I never finished. COD Black Ops being one. Awful game, and easily the worst of the franchise but I should finish it to get my moneys worth.

COD4 was the last true and good Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 2 being the worst imo). After that it went to [word not suitable for TV], thanks to greedy Activision.

Yet I play black ops multiplayer... *!rolleyes!* *!lol!*

The best was the video of a guy who finished COD Black Ops from start to finish without firing a single shot.

Tanks? Did someone say tanks? In ETQW I'm a "tank whore" !*roll-laugh*!
Frontlines: Fuel of War has tanks. Lots of them. Two different models for the Coalition forces, one for the Red Star forces. You can jump in and drive any one of them. Now, Frontlines is a fun game, I go back to all the time between the next big release and when I get burnt on RW or just don't have an extra 2 hours. !!*ok*!!

World of Tanks is quite fun. 3rd person shooter where you get to drive around interwar and WWII tanks. Its free to play, but can get quite expensive if you start to buy some of the stuff ($40 for the premium heavy tanks).

Just picked up Tropico 4, never had any of the games before it, but have liked the city building games since Pharoah when I was 5 or 6... Its quite fun, but if you are easily offended or like political correctness, its probably best you avoid it.

i think i have spent about $200 on gold and premium tanks already....so it seems there is 1 more that is in that game aswell.....how do you feel about having a duel with my T30 or maby my T95? (i got T30, T34, T95, Type 59, KV-5, T20, M36 slugger, M4A3E2 Jumbo, and the M41 spg) working on getting my Patton and the T95's big gun, so you could say i am addicted to it? ....well this and RW.

That is one game I have purposely been avoiding since I know I would get sucked into it.

Away from RW, recent departures from the rails for me has been via Silent Hunter 5 and Napoleon: Total War, with a little Oblivion thrown in.

Does Oblivion have a free camera mode? I'm a sucker for 3D environments but I have little patience or time to actually play the games. I like to just wander around.
I enjoyed the HL2 series a lot for that (and for the gameplay).
