hey all just wondering what every1's favorite game is (any platform)

mine would have to be either overlord or TES4 oblivion (pc or xbox doesn't matter
much really they're good games on both platforms)




in an infinitly large universe such as for instance the one in which we live most things one could possibly imagine and a lot of things one would rather not, grow somewhere. thus it is that very few things actually get manufactured these days. a forest was discovered recently in which most of the trees grew ratchet screw drivers as fruit. the life cycle of a ratchet screwdriver fruit is quite interesting, once picked it needs a dark dusty drawer in which it can lie undisturbed for years. then one night it suddenly hatches, discards its outter skin which crumbles into dust and emerges as a totaly unidentifiable little metal object with flanges at both ends and a sort of ridge and a sort of hole for a screw. this when found will get thrown away. no one knows what it's supposed to gain from this, nature in her infinite wisdom is presumably working on it

No one really knows what matresses are supposed to gain from their lives either. they're large freindly pocket sprung creatures which live quite private lives in the swamps of squan sheller zeta. they flollip about. blowing bubbles through the water, their blue and white stripes glicening in the feeble rays of it's sun. many of them get caught, slaughtered, dryed out, shipped out and slept on. none of them seem to mind and all of them are called zem

For me I would definitely say...

Flight Simulator - all versions, up to the current one, Flight Simulator X.

I have spent thousands of dollars upgrading my notebook and desktop PCs just for the sake of this one game!

Call of Duty 4 is still fun. Bought it the day it came out and have gone through the story line 3 times and still play on Xbox live with thousands of people. Can't wait for the new one to come out, shame its set in the past as I enjoyed the modern weapons. Definately of all the Xbox 360 games I own, its been the one that I have hammered the most.

I fail at CoD4, no idea why. I simply never can tell when theres people behind me, in a game like Counterstrike with headphones on (quality headphones = best investment if you want to improve FPS skill) if someones behind me i can turn around and have the crosshair roughly where they are based on sound. In CoD4 i cant do this which only adds to my confusion.

Otherwise right now i like Company of Heroes, a little bit of CSS, Team fortress 2, Zombie Panic Source (awesome mod), Day of defeat source.
In the past, UT, UT2004, Red Alert 2 have all been a good hit.

For me the Half-Life series are my favourite, with Half-Life 2 and its episodes being my favourite of the favourites :)

IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 Series includes Forgotten Battles & Pacific Fighters. The Best Combat Flight Simulator Ever! Very Realistic. Detailed Aircraft just like World War II.
