So, I've finished uni for the meantime until the next exhibition in London next week. Taking some well earned time off to let my hair grow back :LOL: (see other thread!) and de-stress, and one way I do that when the weather is on the crud side (and pointless going out with the camera) is to play computer games. :D

So just wondering what your favourites are?

Mine is the Suikoden series. RPG that was underrated, but is fantastic in my eyes.
 
Final Fantasy VII VIII IX
StarCraft < I once played in the WCG 2005 with this :LOL:
Counter Strike 1.6
DotA

:D

I was never a big gamer - apart from the good old Spectrum games like Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy.

Since having kids though I've spent more hours than I care to mention on the various Gran Turismo games. The Spyro games were popular in our house too.

Online - Toontown was very very addictive.
 
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Also, Angry Birds on the iPhone is perhaps the most addictive game, ever.
 
If you want a really good destressing game then try the disney on line game Toontown. I know it is for kids but deep down we are all kids really - and it can be a very addictive game and there is something quite good about throwing pies at people!!

Well done on finishing Uni (y)

I used to do Toontown

Lost interest a bit when my Toon maxed out.

True - but it does feel good after a bad day at work to throw pies and stuff at people without getting into trouble :LOL:
 
Everquest, although I've long since given up any MMORPG, so didn't even start WoW when it came out.

I get a dead leg when I try to use pedals on the computer. I only bought them for rfactor as well :(.

I stood up after five laps of Daytona and my right leg collapsed underneath me :shrug:

Oh really? Thats strange - I've never had a problem with dead legs, but then I normally do F1 races on the game so theres plenty of right & left leg use..

I've never really been much of a gamer but I used to enjoy Unreal Tournament on the PC as well as Homeworld.

The Conduit is a great game for the Wii... Spent hours playing that one! :)

Red Dead Redemption (just out on xbox 360 and PS3) is awesome. Find it very difficult to switch it off at the minute :D
 
cod4 (mw 1), then other cods, left4dead, not loving left 4 dead 2, portal, command and conquer generals was sweet, got a soft sppot for star trek bridge commander
 
COD MW was a hit, then I played BF BC, that was even better.
so I got MW2, then was surprised when I preferred BC2!

Currently playing Heavy Rain on the PS3. QUite possibly the most miserable, depressing game I have ever played.
 
I'm a big driving game fan and love the simbin series - currently playing race 07 WTCC, GTR evolution and race on, love online play!

The wife plays Sims 3 and has just bought the latest add-ons for it.
 
Call of Duty - nothing like blowing the crap out of things.
Gran Turismo / Race Grid
TW10 - SO Damien can beat me on online games!
 
I'm more of a FPS person and prefer to play it on the PC due to finding it easier to use a keyboard for that kind of thing.

Serious Sam, Doom and it's sequel (the original version, of course), Star Trek - Elite Force, the original Half Life, Painkiller and Tron were all games I truly got into. In the short time I owned an Xbox 360 (before I got bored of it and sold it) I played Prey and Bioshock on it.

I, too, owned a "speccy" where I played Sabre Wulf on it, then Super Frog on the Amiga A1200.
 
Actually:

1K breakout
3D Monster Maze
Manic Miner
Knight Lore
Lunar Jetpac
Lunar Jetman
Planetoid (Acorn's Defender)
Elite
Revs

Civ 2
Baldur's Gate
 
Bad Company 2
Modern Warfare 2
Also recently got quite into the Guitar Hero games.

1 of my goals from the neuro rehab team was to be able to use my thumb on my bad hand, so I can use the left toggle on the control so I can play MW2:D

Hell yeah I do.....nothing like spanking Lyntons ass with a 5 Iron!!! (y) He still ain't beat me yet.....not even once!!

My favourite ever is still GTA: San Andreas on the PS2.....awesome stuff!! :D
 
I'm not a big gamer, but of the ones I've tried, I enjoy grand theft auto (can't remember which! XD) and play it on my brothers iMac. I'm too mean to get the full version, but I enjoy the trial of ToonWarz I have on my Xperia. And Android users, try it its pretty good.

Loving RDR at the moment!! I keep getting side tracked from the missions though and find myself leaving bait and then watching the wolves come through the sniper scope... :LOL:

Football Manager... I have probably wasted weeks of my life since I first started playing back in the Championship Manager days.
Have also spent a lot of time on Formula 1 2006 on PS2, trying to get around a full length race, on difficult, without touching the barrier or another car at all. Very difficult for me because without the fear of fatality I always forget there is a brake...
 
MAG (PS3) for me at the minute
