Non-war games... what are war games? I guess CM and Steel Panthers are war games. Here are some simulations, Role-play and FPS. Most of them have a military character[:)]

IL-2 FB/AEP, Lock-on, SpellForce, DTM-2, GT-4 Prologue, Joint Ops, Call of Duty, MoH series (playing Pacific Assault Demo right now on the Guadalcanal[:)]) BF series, Soldiers Heroes of WW2, Steel Beast 2 (Alpha version) and waiting for Rome Total War, Half-Life 2 (Day of Defeat mod), Full Spectrum Warrior, Call of Duty United offensive, IL-2 Pacific Fighters, and GT-4.

My free time goes for WitP 50%, CM series 30% and the rest is for the other games[;)]

Medal of Honor from Electronic Arts.

I also played Superpowers but I thought the game was to buggy so I haven't played it for a long time - probably a bunch of patches out for it by now...

You're right, there's patches out and even a build. Most of the orgianl bugs are gone. Overall it's a great game just don't like the whole training the AI thing. I hope that the complexity of this key feature is made easier with Superpowers 2. I've taken over the world paying as Argentina, South Africa, Mexico and even Indonesia

Hmm.. Ever-Crack... I see... I like games that are either detail orientated (WitP) or mindless shooters - any first person shooter game... I waste my mind on the detail games and relax on the others..

I play Medieval Total war (waitin' for rome to come out ), IL2 sturmovik AEP ( waiting for pacific fighters to come out ) and witp. That's all i need to feed my gaming experience[8D]

[Titanwarrior89]

Will you switch too Everquest 2. Heard it was coming out fairly soon. Also what is the monthly on line cost for EQ? I am afraid they will want a monthly fee for Neverwinter 2(hope not). 75% of my time is sinking DD's(WitP) the other 25 is chasing Dragons.[8|]

Stay away from PS2 Socom 2 online play.

My girfriend calls it Japanese crack. It's from Japan and once you start you can't beat the habit. [:D]

[Titanwarrior89]

Think it is 13.99 a month to play EQ. I doubt I move to EQ2. I am less and less interested in EQ. I only raid now.

[Titanwarrior89]

Just wondering what the cost was. Have fun raiding![&:] "May You Take No Prisoners".[:-]

Believe it or not, I'm still hooked on Tropico as a time killer when my brain needs a break. Hockey and Rugby by EAsports. Euchre, Cribbage are always fun. But Liar's Dice is my favourite at the Snr NCOs mess. Oh...darts, can't forget darts.

In the realm of non wargaming gaming....
Settlers of Catan (preferably with 5-6 people)
I get a kick out of playing a card game "Bang!"....
and we usually do this while our weekly Baseball series' are being simmed using
Diamond Mind ver 9 (nothing like beating someone in a cruical series in baseball and then gunning them down later on...) well, there is something better, but I have been separated for a year and have almost forgotten about that....

[Twotribes]

I am home bound ( by choice, I have serious depression and paranoia problems), retired and have few friends. EQ gives me a means to interact with others that I cant or wont take advantage of in the real world. In 5 years I spent one year of my life playing EQ ..... that is an average of between 4 and 5 hours a day.

It has served me well. Originally it was 9.99 a month. Think I am wrong think it is 12.99 or 11.99 now. But I suspect EQ2 will be closer to 15 a month.

Non-wargames?? What are those?

Only thing other than WitP that I play nowadays is Silent Storm (and that is doesn't count as a non-wargame) on the rare occasion I have time to play between WitP turns.

My all time favorite non war game is backgammon. Analog backgammon, with the cube. Absolutely wild, aggressive and freewheeling. You can play 20 or 30 games in a night if you are serious about it. At a dollar a point it needs to be taken seriously, yet even a disaster (a gammon with the cube on 16--an extreme result--is still only $32) is not going to wreck you. Backgammon is great because you have to evalate each position against 2D6, analyze your opportunities and vulnerabilities, and make the best move that you can, always keeping in mind the power of the doubling cube to force your enemy either to surrender or to accept a double when he should not. A near-perfect blending of strategy, tactics, and blind luck. A vicious and elegant contest.

1. World of Warcraft. I'm in the beta, and it's just a blast.

2. Civilization 3.

3. Knights of the Old Republic. Nice Star Wars RPG.

4. Star Wars Galaxies. Buggy and flawed, but I still like it.

5. Highway to the Reich.

6. Battles in Normandy, probably, knowing me.

Hi, I like sports games. I still play Front Page Sports Baseball 1996.

Baseball is a sport ?

Just kidding...

[msaario]

Call of Duty MP!

Many of favorites over the years, Civilization and Railroad Tycoon series are among the top not to mention PacWar. Just prior to WITP I played SimCity 4 Rush Hour which I love but I am not multi tasked and can't handle the concentraton keeping two balls in the air at once. To understand and enjoy a game like WITP takes focus (notice I didn't say play well). Like its grandfather GG PacWar, WITP has the theme and all the complexity that I like in games and will hold my attention like glue for many months and years to come.

Sports games for me, please [:)] Especially the undisputed king of football manager games, Championship Manager!

PS. that's soccer for you...
