It changes so often...it was half-life for a long time, but its now BF2.

I have been meaning to buy half-life 2, but its just so darn expensive.

And BF2 wasn't? Didn't HL2 come out before BF2?

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

But it does change often when I get new games. My last fav was Call of Duty2 for a long time, but then I bought TESIV: Oblivion. This one will be around for a while.

A few good mentions are: Half Life 2, Counter Strike Source, and Star Wars Rebellion (old school)

Exactly, but BF2 has much MUCH more vehicle support. I have so much fun flying the attack choppers, and I'm so good at it. As far as just basic FPS I prefer BF2 to HL2 (I played both before I made my decision).

If you take that $50 that I spent to buy the game, and pay for it hourly, I have spent 20.8638 cph (cents per hour)

Probably Guild Wars. I won't play WoW because WC3 disappointed me and most WoW players scare me with their fanaticism. I'm not much for FPS games on the PC, I prefer having an analog controller on my hands than a digital keyboard on my desk. *shrug*

My favorite computer game is Ultima Online. I want to join Guild Wars though, and my second favorite is Second Life.

Operation Flashpoint, undoubtedly. So much militaria goodness. Knocks Battlefield into a cocked hat for soldiery-ness (it's so much less like a team deathmatch and more like a war.) Can't wait til Armed Assault and the second sequel come out!

I've been playing Guild Wars and Blackhawk Down. I have maybe 800 hours between the two with 500 of them coming from BHD so I guess that's my favourite game :p

Hmm. I must be the old guy on this forum. My favorite is Planescape: Torment. It's an isometric, sprite-based RPG from 1999. It's similar to Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Arcanum, etc. Very, very text-heavy. Almost like a "choose your own adventure" book, with combat.

Hey, you only beat OpFlash by about a year or eighteen months... I remember Planescape - damn good stuff. Darker and more funny than the other D&D games.

I played runescape for a while, don't ask why. Then I moved to MU Online, then World of Warcraft. Seems my taste has matured :)

All time faves would have to be:
RPG - Morrowind, closely followed by Oblivion.
RTS - BFME for single player, BFME 2 for Multi.
FPS - Far Cry, Operation Flashpoint, Original Doom for old school style.
Sim - X2: The threat (haven't played X3 yet).
Other - Knights of the Old Republic 2, Black and White 2.

More to come...

Morrowind for me. I played it since it came out and I still play it. Was the game that "killed" most of my nights and days :D

Cool, another Morrowind fan.
I was going to edit my previous post but this game is so good i thought it deserved it's own post.

Half Life 2.

What more can i say.

And yes, i know i am slow and the game is quite old, but hey, what can i say.
This game is the best FPS i have ever seen or played.
