    Some of the old games were good fun, especially for the retro music and sound effects.
    I'm talking Wizards of Wor, XYBots, SmashTV, Robotron to name but a few.

    These days it's mostly about Team Fortress 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 3 and a few others that I play religiously.

    I don't really have a favourite at the moment, i suppose Batman AA was the last game that i was really into.

    A few years ago it would have been bioshock and crysis.

    Mass effect 2 looks good but i'm not sure if i would like an rpg style game ( i get bored easy ).

    I can't narrow it down to one, because my gaming experience goes back almost 30 years. Some favourites are:


    Combat (Atari VCS)
    Adventure (Atari VCS)

    Elite (BBC Model B)

    Alien Breed (Amiga)
    A-Train (Amiga)
    Civilisation (Amiga)
    Shadow of The Beast (Amiga)
    Alien Breed 3D (Amiga)

    Quake (PC)
    Quake II (PC)
    Myst (PC)
    MS Flight Simulator (PC)
    Half Life 2 (PC)
    Counter Strike: Source (PC)
    WoW (PC)

    That's based on how much time I spend, or spent playing them. There have been too many games to list that impressed me, that for one reason or another, I never played as much.

    This list is not based on graphics, or sound, or technicalities. Purely how much time I spent playing them... which is the only true measure for me.
