Treon...Doesn't your dad pay for WoW?
The Video Games Thread
I bought the game (.. I think.) and have paid for the last three months, so he actually hasn't paid anything, but is willing. Neither of us are willing to pick up another fee every month, though, so there you go.
Well gee, that clears *that* up.
Heh, let's see here.
Area 51 - Decent FPS with a decent story. Average all around with not too much that stands out, other than the mutant transformations, which make you a melee badass. And voiceovers...Duchovny may make an excellent FBI agent, but damn it does he suck at VO.
Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Baal - Do I really need an explanation? One of the greatest TB RPGs of all time.
Battlefield 2 - Excellent shooter. Love the visuals as well as vehicle and infantry combat. Wish it was more balanced in that infantry weren't so damned helpless against vehicles, but it can't be helped.
Call of Duty 2 - Premiere WW2 FPS. Great multiplayer, great visuals, great control scheme, and great game play.
Diablo 1 and 2 - Classic hack'n'slash RPGs. One of my all time favorite series.
F.E.A.R. - Creepy, highly atmospheric FPS. Beautiful graphics and a great story arch.
Guild Wars - Can't sat anything that hasn't been said before. Haven't played in forever.
Half-Life 2 - One of the best FPS games of all time. Too bad I can't work up the courage to get past Ravenholme...(Yuk it up.)
Halo - Some people say it's overrated. I really don't give a shit.
Icewind Dale II - Another excellent TB RPG, heavier on combat that BG 2, which is a win.
Indigo Prophecy - Recent adventure game with great story line, up until a certain point...and a simon-esque group of mini-games.
Morrowind - Haven't played in a year or so...but it's just there for now.
NFS: Underground 2 - Because everybody needs just one racing game.
Oblivion - I love this game. 100+ hours of playing it kind of love. A worthy successor to Morrowind in the TES series.
Rainbow Six 3: Raveshield - Excellent tactical shooter.
SW: Battlefront 2 - I don't think as highly of it as Beff seems to, but it's still a fun little romp now and then.
SW: KotOR 1 and 2 - Great RPGs. Not much more can be said.
SW: Republic Commando - FPS. Thought it was a lot better than BF 2 in terms of actually being a well done, story-driven FPS.
Starcraft: Broodwar - ...Do I need to explain this one? Best RTS ever.
LOTR: The Battle for Middle Earth 1 and 2 - RTS games set in the LOTR universe. Quite good.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - Brilliant, if buggy as all hell, example of an RPG. FPS game with twitchy combat, great story, and great dialogue/VO.
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne - Great RTS by the folks over at Blizzard.
Wing Commander: Prophecy - Space combat sim. Not really sure why, but I love this thing.

I used to play NWN online on a really fun RP server but that sucker closed down months ago. BUT I've got stuff lined up for NWN 2 so if any of you guys want to jump into that give me a shout when that comes up and I'll set you up ;)
Can't wait till NWN2. It should be badass. I want KOTOR 3 too.
KH2. A good game, but still not worthy of an award.
Star Wars Battlefront 2: Teh r0z0rz! I love this one, and always will.
Ghost Recon, Advanced Warfighter: *Droolage* I love a military based shooter, and this is one of the single best to date. Interaction, immersion, graphics, and a pretty fun multiplayer aspect!
Oblivion: Excellent. Buggy, but good.
The Punisher: Kick. Ass. I love this game, even if it is made on a budget... gory and uncensored, which makes for a perfect adaptation to game for Frank.
Lots more, can't remember them.
