OK, I've bitten - after all the hype & reading so much about this World Of Warcraft (not least from one of my fellow admins), I've decided to give it a try; used to love RPGs & can honestly say I've not seen a negative review of WoW, so stumped up & purchased this yesterday...any advice for a 45 yr old WoW newbie?

Thank you, very helpful - looks like I've got a lot to learn before I even start (back to school with me); now, blood elf or dwarf?

Decisions, decisions

Are any of you as disappointed in Spore as I am?

I was always a Sims and Sim City fan, and thought this was going to be the next step. What a let-down!

Terrible Nintendo64 graphics and game play that makes the word 'repetitive' seem over-enthusiastic.

Regarding the pre-release hype I consider this to be the biggest turkey in the last five years.

And no, I don't want to play games just for the pleasure of content editors, and that's all this seems about.
 
Oh, I almost forgot: I'm really getting into 'Sins of a Solar Empire'. Great game, although it took me a hell of a long time to get into, because of inadequate instructions and tutorial. Do they have to make the learning curve so steep because of a lack of documentation? I wish they'd always do something on the lines of the Civilization IV manual. Complex games just require that.
 
But enough griping, SoaSE is a phantastic game.

Definitely agree on the CivIV manual - with a game that large you need good reference material (even if you have been playing since the original CivI)

I finished Super MArio Galaxy on WII (one of only three reasons I bought one)... Fantastic game, though never as glorious as Super MArio 3 or Super MArio World... Then I started playing Zelda: Twilight Princess (reason number 2.. the third one is Metroid, and then the Wii will die in oblivion). But I had to go back to decent-graphics at least for a while. So I have put the game on hold and I'm enjoying the carnage of ultra-stupidly great graphics of Gears of War 2 Cool

If anyone wants to play the original on Half-Life on PC, it is only $0.98 on Steam because of
its 10th anniversary.

^ I got that right before the offer expired on Friday, and I've been playing it since.  It's pretty good so far, but kind of scary at parts.

FFVII is my favorite game of all time. Can't quite remember the boss you're on right now. Power level time?

I liked Fable 2 way too much.
 
Even with its flaws, it was one of the most compelling games I've played for reasons I can't fully explain.

I've just started Mass Effect. Very impressed.

Seeing as how I'm somewhat of a Jade Empire/Kotor fanboy, I should be in for a thrill ride.

Revival.Cool

Since my puter sucks monkey balls at running games, I've been getting into older stuff...

I tried Civ 3, but so far hate it compared to Civ 4

Still trying to learn how Heroes of Might and Magic 3 works...

Need to pick up Planescape again...
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Mmmm Planescape: Torment!

I have that... must start again.

Recently I started again on Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast.

I'm also still playing Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, Sacred Underworld, StarCraft, 1400: The Guild, The Guild 2: Pirates of the European Seas and Age of Empires: Rise of Rome.

So a lot!

I finally finished Okami. Now I'm back to Final Fantasy VIII. After that I've got a pile waiting:

- Final Fantasy XII
- Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
- Odin Sphere
- Suikoden V
- Shadow Hearts: Covenant
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

and probably more that I can't remember. Sleepy

Because if your post is any indication, you own all the copies of the game and no one else is able to play it.
