Diablo 2, WoW (well, well into four figures on both of them). UFO: Enemy unknown and probably X-Com as well.

Not a spesific video game choice per se, but Kreia's (KotOR2) comments and reactions to my actions kinda made me rethink my choices in game, as well as in the real world. I remember the choice of giving money to poor people and her following comment about making weaklings depend on the...

Hear, hear. I've played games since the 80s, but never a game with a soundtrack that suited it better than WET's.

I still have the first PC game I ever played, Civilization. It set the standard for the rest of my collection. So, basically, forever so far. There's something special about going through the old cardboard boxes, leafing through manuals and reminiscing about simpler times.

If you already have Portal, you have the best part of the box. So-so mp game and a linear corridor shooter isn't worth whatever the box costs nowadays.

For me, there's been no other music setting the atmosphere so perfectly than in GTA: Vice City, and, to a lesser degree, San Andreas. Cruising down the garish, pink neon-lit streets in some sleek, low car, listening to the cream of 80s music.. On the other hand, they did a horrible job with...

The ones I use the most: For maps with some range, like pipeline: M16 w/ silencer, 3x frags, stopping power, extreme conditioning. For shipment/wetworks: P90 w/ red dot, 3x frags, sonic boom, martyrdom. For everything else: AK-SU / P90 w/ silencer, 3x frags, UAV jammer, extreme conditioning...

Oh, that is so on the money. Glad I'm not the only one not over the moon about GTA4. :) Personally, I'd rather play through 5-8 hours of compressed fun than 30+ hours of mediocre with a few ups and downs.

I gave it 3/5 for the package. Portal alone would be 5/5, but the rest are very meh in my book. The original HL was leaps and bounds beyond anything else when it was released, and I agree with the 9-10/10s it got. The marine AI was something I still remember as phenomenal. HL 2 on the other...

M16 is yours at level 1, and the only good thing with P90 is the huge clip and better accuracy while spraying. Either way, level 55 is not exactly hard to reach when you play HQ. There's nothing wrong with the other weapons. On one of the prestige ranks I unlocked all scopes on all guns, and...

More players, bigger maps, more weapons, more perks and more incentive to get people teaming up. And night modes for all maps.

It's ages ago, but I remember having a lot of fun with Future Shock. Also, the arcade game with double Uzis was a hoot and a half. :)

UFO/X-Com + DoW II (random weapon/armor drops, xp, perks).

American McGee's Alice. It has atmosphere dripping from every note.
