9. Naval warfare games....
hmmm...not many around nowadays. Ever since they decided to cancel
Harpoon IV, looks like the genre kind of died off.
Strategy games...not too familiar with them.
Strategy games list from Gamestop.com:

12. Oh yeah...
Got UT2004 yesterday and I'm loving it!
Got a problem with my USB headphone, though...it's locking up my mouse for 1-2 seconds every minute or so.

7. Depends on what you're into
I go for word games myself, and download them from pogo.com or yahoo, or a couple of other ones.

I've been dying to play Black and White, which is a sim game, where you get to play "god."

Then there are lots of solitaire games out there--Pretty Good Solitaire is available at any of the big download sites, like Tucows, Snapfiles, etc. and it's a great collection.

Of course, Hasbro has Scrabble and Boggle, two of my favorites.

If you're into Mahjongg, you might want to find Kyodai, which is great fun, and has 6 different games in the "package."

My personal favorite is Pogo's "Tumble Bees" which is a word game, but has a lot of fun elements.

If none of these are your thing, there are others out there--LOTS of others that I don't know about, or have little interest in. Good luck!!

Yahoo has several games which can be fun - similar to arcade games but addictive and FREE.
