Mine would definitely be Mercenaries 2. I loved the first one so much, and heard so many great things about the second... and then hated it after the first five or ten minutes.

Baldur's Gate 2 and most of the Ace Combat games.

I usually play my first playthrough as a male (and I'm a male myself), and if it's one of the games I want to see every possible conversation and line of dialogue (Baldur's Gate 2, or anything by Bioware, I guess) then I'll play through with a female character as well.

I tend to play only one or two singleplayer games at a time until I beat them, then move on, but I'm constantly playing small sessions of certain multiplayer games (TF2, Alien Swarm, Killing Floor, to name a few).

I liked them in L4D, but I think they're overshadowed by the military sniper in L4D2. As far as I recall. It's been too long, but as I recall the military has twice as many shots per magazine (30 vs 15), and they have exactly the same amount of power, range, and accuracy. Someone please correct...

As I'm sure has been the case with at least one other poster, I'm a Canadian, so the chance of my country being the bad guy in any game is pretty slim. With that said, it probably wouldn't matter to me, and I'd judge the game based on mechanics, story, and all that.

Regardless of the developer and whatever info is released before the game, I'll probably still end up picking it up because I love the books and world that much.

This thing is pretty impressive. I tried Samus first, and it got it right away. "Okay", I thought, "Samus is pretty well known." Then I tried Irenicus from Baldur's Gate 2, and Mobius 1 from Ace Combat 4, and it got both of those on the second try.

Because it's nonsensical. As has already been said, why does monkey not rhyme with donkey, for example. Combine that with those rules you learn in school that you later realize don't help at all, and confusing aspects that even some native English speakers don't get (whom/who, who's/whose), and...

This. So much.

My first thought upon seeing this thread was to make a TF2 joke of some kind, but they've all been made. Now I'm just left wondering what it'd take to get one and install it in my house.

Pretty much this. Except remove Assassin's Creed, and add mention of Ace Combat getting me interested into jet fighters and teaching me a bit about them. (Only a bit, though. No real jet can carry 80 missiles plus 15 large fuel-air bombs, sadly)

This topic just made my day.

I forget exactly how far back this was (way back), but for a birthday gift a former friend let me borrow his copy of the first Harry Potter game for the PC. And then he called the next morning saying that he "needed" it back.
