Your top 5?

Post by Banquet »

Ok, make believe time..

If you were told you could only keep 5 games on your HD, what 5 games would you keep?

For me, in no particular order, they'd be;

War in the Pacific
Hearts of Iron
Morrowind
FS2004
Universal Combat

As soon as I've posted this I'll probably think of something else I want to add [:D]

Just looking around at what I'm currently playing and what usually goes right back on after a reformat:

WitP (I Play this more than any other game I own)
Doom3 (once I'm finished with this one, I'll switch to HL2)
Pacific Fighters (was IL2, occasionally get in a Falcon 4 mood)
Call of Duty (playing online only now)
Rome Total War (still new to me, also could be a 4X game)
