6. I've been meaning to get an Xbox.
But I hardly play my PS3 as it is... I like playing COD on my computer far better.

My team started as a C overall and I built them up to a B+ team. I'm currently #2 in Conference USA behind a very good Memphis team.

5. Morrowind...still.
I'm a fairly adept modder so it's never really over for me, when I've done everything, I just d/l more content...or write some.

I've beaten the game about 4 times over (with 4 different characters) I have three characters over lvl. 50 and my main guy is lvl. 160 (this is about 6x what is required to beat the game and about 4x the theoretical ceiling for character advancement. (There is no hard ceiling but that kind of leveling represents about 2000 hours of gameplay.)

I've completely re-skinned most of the game at this point to keep the graphics cutting-edge, downloaded map patches for the entirety of Tamriel and am far and away the most powerful being in-world...I can one-cast kill gods. I'm tiring of it, I think I'm going to move on to TES 4: Oblivion soon.

They really need to finish Elder Scrolls 5 already.

14. Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is an awesome game.
In my main game, I logged over 300 hours and had all my stats at 100, even the alchemy one (which was the hardest one to get).

The Shivering Isles expansion pack was better than the main game. I loved the "weirdness" of the Shivering Isles and the contrast between Mania and Dementia. Running around and being Sheogorath's protege was awesome.

And yes, they really do need to come out with The Elder Scrolls V, but I hear rumors they may wait until a new gaming system comes out. :(

It's great, though I've only played the multiplayer.
Actually, the Combat Training portion (where you fight against AI bots and can adjust the difficulty setting) is what I've been focusing on. I haven't even tried the real multiplayer or the campaign mode yet. I like it more than Modern Warfare 2, which was great itself.

34. I'm planning to get the PC version this week.
I like my PS3 but playing shooters, IMO, is far easier for me on the PC than it is on the PS3.

10. I haven't played a game in a few months,
but I like racing games like Dirt and Gran Turismo.

I played more often back in N64 days (Star Wars Rogue Squadron was my favorite).

23. Me too almost rabidly, but I un-installed 3 recently since I hadn't touched it for 5 months
2 is still my favorite, I think 3 was like Sim City Societies, fluff and simply to steal more money form us.


I wish for a Sim City 5 with all of my engineer's heart.

17. Borderlands....2nd playthrough
This has become one of my favorite games ever on any platform. We played Halo Reach after the first playthrough and I gotta admit that I was really disappointed in it....way too short, just not impressed.

18. I don't have internet
So I only did single gameplay. I really liked the game, the setting, the variety of weapons, etc. The thing was, it is very difficult for me. I stopped when I couldn't get by the Badass Psychos on a certain mission. I would run out a bullets and money and I really got in trouble. I imagine I'd have to do dozens of side missions to build my character to get through there. I hope you got some tips, I'd love to play it again. I mailed (Gamefly) it back and I'm playing college basketball as I noted above. :)

19. Hubby and I play split-screen co-op.
I'm the Roland/Soldier character and he's the Mordecai/Hunter character. Haven't had any problems with ammo shortages and we have learned to use our special skills (Roland's scorpio turret and Mordecai's Bloodwing) to really give us an advantage. There's a great site with everything Borderland http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Borderlands_Wiki that we referred to if we had any issues.

We've played all the expansions too....Secret Armory being the best.

I think we'll play again with new characters....Lilith and Brick this time.

22. CIV V for WAY too many hours with and without mods, BioShock 2, Arsenal of Democracy
I am SO looking forward to Diablo III. My beautiful Daughter and I used to play Diablo II for HOURS together in the early 00's. I built her a very nice system in anticipation of it's release. In a few minutes, when I shut down this Mac (yes Mac) I am turning on the gaming system here (my sweetie's) and play more Civ V since I slept most of the afternoon and into the evening.

I'm asking for the First Halo and Halo 3 for Christmas, so I'll be playing those in a few weeks from now too.

I've also been playing some old-school Nintendo games on my laptop here: http://www.1980-games.com/us/ Mario games, Mega Man games... I;m hooked on that darn website.

lots of European-style board games several nights a week, too, including Settlers of Cataan, Puerto Rico, Power Grid, and Bohnanza. (Okay, the last one's a card game, to go with Mamma Mia, Klunker, and The Great Dalmuti.)

42. Chalk up another player of the Call of Duty franchise
Bought the first two games for PC at a garage sale two weeks ago and installed them last Saturday. Beat them both at the "normal" difficulty. I'd like to play the first game in that series that I bought (World at War), but the ***hole who sold it at auction didn't put the manual with the CD key in the case...

51. Bioshock
I finally bought it at the Steam Halloween sale for €4,99.

I also have yet to finish S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat. Even though I love the game (Shadow of Chernobyl is one of my all time favorites), I kinda hit a "What am I supposed to do now?" spot, took a break and have had trouble getting back into it.

I just finished my evil playthrough of Mass Effect (second time through the game) a couple of days ago.

Next I'm thinking of getting the Hitman Collection. I always was interested in the games, but never actually played them. Are they any good?
