1. I play a PS3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and College Football 10 are my games.
Until CF 11 comes out the the next Call of Duty game. I play online every night with a few buddies and we play against many different people every night.

3. I played World of Warcraft for about 2 years
Had to give it up cause its like a crack addiction.


Also is Halo considered a MMORPG? Or did they come out with a Halo online RPG?

6. Didn't know that,
I just pictured it as a bunch of people running around blowing shit away. I'm a noob when it comes to online play, never done so(well, except Diablo I).

9. I used to play Descent and had to give it up when I broke up with my ex
The joysticks cost 75.00 and I would wear them out every three months or so. I couldn't afford the joysticks anymore. It was nice chasing the monkey off my back though.

7. No. I'm a bit of an anomaly - I've been an Atari user since 1979 through today, yet
I've probably spent less than 1,000 hours on computer games in that whole thirty years (my Ataris have almost exclusively been computers - though I have also owned a Lynx and a Jaguar, and I bought a VCS at a yard sale in 1999).

39. Before BRB, I'd never played any games on any of the gaming systems. Just on the computer. No
shooter or action games. Just, I don't even know what they'd be called. Ones where you have to figure things out by interacting with the characters. Titanic was a great one. : )

14. Several of those fit for me
I love my console games. I am also very much into PC gaming. Cards and board games are also very big. No gambling though... I suck at gambling so I stopped.

18. A little electronics, a little old-fashioned board games...
We love playing an assortment of games around here, both video games as well as more traditional ones. Both Lyric and LyricKid play Pokemon and Viva Pinata,we have had a Wii for a couple of years now, and play all sorts of games there too.

But, on the bottom shelf of the coffee table, there are also Monopoly, Yahtzee, and Scrabble! We used to have an assortment of trivia games as well (Trivial Pursuit, SceneIt, etc...), but they all got water-damaged at the old place, and we are slowly trying to replace them.

20. Old(ish)-school D&Der.
(Meaning that I never played the brown-box or Basic D&D, having started with the so-called "advanced" edition in the seventies, and never having messed much with the latest editions. This is not the nerd war you're looking for.)

22. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2
is all I play right now. I also play Sudoku online at work when I'm really bored and there's nothing to do at the moment. I play occasionally Assassin's Creed II on PS3 and on the Wii I do EA Sports Active, which is a workout and not a game.

23. PC strategy type wargames mostly. I'm an old grognard.
The consoles suck for strategy fans, so I'm sticking with the PC. I also love the city building games like Caesar, Pharaoh and Zeus. I have a PS2 collecting dust, and the only time I've used it in the last year was when my DVD player shit the bed.

I play some RPG's (still slogging through Fallout 3), but I prefer anything turn-based, and wargames give me that in spades.

25. Call of Duty: United Offensive
Onlime multiplayer for a quick 5 or 10 minutes.

I used to play Rise of Nations, but didn't like wasting so much time.

26. I've been playing a PS3 lately.
I bought it mainly for the Blu-Ray player, but the games are great. I grew up in the '80s with Super Mario Bros., etc., so to see something like Modern Warfare 2 is stunning.

27. Fallout 3, IMO, is the single greatest game ever made.
compared to what I consider the runners-up: Civilization 2 and SLASH'EM, Fallout 3's a pretty damn modern game that a lot of other people are playing right now.

I spent about 8 months as a professional gambler- cards, you name it. It's not all fun and games.

34. Currently, Empire: Total War is my timesuck.
Also play Dragon Age, Obsidian and Close Combat. Civilization series and Madden NFL have prevented me from having any semblance of a social life in the past. Also liked the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms series.
