LOTRO - Wasn't that thrilled with it at first, but put some time into it a couple weeks ago and really started to get into it around level 12 after trying a few other classes I didn't enjoy as much. I don't really feel like I need to pour hours upon hours into it each night either, just fun to pop on for an hour or so, run a couple quests and enjoy the scenery/social aspect. BTW - Clyve on Landroval, if anyone plays that server look me up.

BF2 - Just picked this up last night while I was out birthday shopping. I haven't had much time with it yet, but if it's anything like 1942 was for me, I'll be stuck on it for quite a while. Let's call this one a pre-emptive addiction.

Civ 4/BtS - This one is just waiting in the wings, tempting me to play it, but I'm trying to be strong. I still want to be able to go outside, eat, and sleep, and Civ never went hand in hand well with those for me.

TF2 for sure right now. I also finished Doom 3 for the first time. It was meh, but I had to do it. I'm also finishing my 4th or 5th time through Far Cry as well as my first time through Half Life and Deus Ex. There's not enough time in a day

Does anyone remember Lord of The Realm II by Sierra from back in the day? Is there anything with a similar concept out that is worth playing?

If you preorder it you can play TF2 now.

(They call it a beta, but it's pretty much the full game.)

COH is what I'm hooked on. Good god is it fun pounding tanks with indirect fire.

I need to seriously just finish up the rest of my games rather than keep buying new ones. Games I got to finish:

Star Wars Empires at War
Final Fantasy XII
Mario Strikers (can't really finish it but I need to play more)
Zelda (Wii)
Doom III (I'm a wimp and its too scary, finished Quake 4)
Oblivion (slapping my self in the forehead for this one, its a great game but I could invest 100+ hours on this, shouldn't have impulsively bought with so many games waiting in the wings)

Good grief then there are ones I want to play:
Hellgate
CoH: O P
Metroid Prime
Halo2 and Halo 3
TF2, HL:2, Portals (aaaahhhhh!!!)

I played TF2 for about 4 1/2 hours last night, which for me is f'ing ridiculous.

Until this past week I had never played Half Life either. You aren't missing anything. HL is a terrible game that was a chore to play through, and is the only game I ever used Auto-Aim to play. I then forced myself to play Blue Shift which was shorter therefore wasn't as bad. I played HL2- Episode One when it was released, and while it was short it was decent. Regardless, I know nothing of TF2 so can't answer that question.

Baldurs Gate 2.
Started two weeks ago and putzed around. Installed a few mods and it seems like a whole new game.

Also playing Test Drive Unlimited like a fiend.
Good solid gameplay, simple, yet addictive.

Bioshock and a little World in Conflict.

GHII on the XBox360, as well.

Medieval II: Kingdoms. Finished 1 of 4 campaigns, but not progressing all that well in Britannia. Scotland won't stop sending full stacks at me! Luckily I get a lot of prisoners and mash "execute" as fast as you'd mash "ok"; I'm not paying for the same "kills" twice.

I used to be really addicted to WoW, but I quit for a while (it has been a few months) this past summer and havnt played anything else really. I was thinking of getting the orange box but I don't know. It's sad because I still really want to play WoW but I won't let myself get back on until I have some serious free time, b/c I know I'll spend all my time on it once I resubscribe.

Way back in February of 2001 I bought Unreal Tournament for $10 and I've been an online multiplayer player ever since. Right now my current addiction is:

UT99 CTF pick-up games (clan-match style) matches.

UT 2004 Invasion Monster Hunt RPG
