I haven't done much but cruise message boards in the past couple months. At least til I picked up TOS-WS. What little time I have has been mostly digested by that monster in the last couple days. Longest burn-out streak I've ever had.

Call of Duty and AA:HttR in the same month.........have mercy on my pocket book.

SPWaW...Mega Campaigns only though.
Strategic Command (playing by PBEM currently).

When bored and need contrast.
Panzer General 2

Not playing due to my computer sucks, but wish I could play it
Battlefield 1942

If I could interject a question for Les.

What is it with BF42? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind playing MOHAA on the rare occasion a buddy asks me to join in. I'm more of a tactical shooter type. Tell me, why is it so enticing in your opinion?

Well as with all things, a good game has to do something and do it well.

We have games like Steel Panthers where accuracy has reached incredible levels. Or games like Strategic Command which has achieved in my opinion new levels in playability and superb interface simplicity.

BF42 to me is the best I have seen out there for multi player fun in the realm of shooters.
I have seen other shooters that had great looking graphics awesome sounds and very real like simulation, but hmm in BF 42 you are not stuck with just being a soldier. You can fly a plane, drive a tank, pilot a ship as well. The game is very easy to play, entirely engrossing, and simply the most fun I have seen outside of my grognard style wargames.

If my computer didn't suck, I think I would probably play a bit of BF42 each and every day.
But my computer is more professional tool than gamer platform ie I am more concerned with having a good word processor than a good video card.
Most of my time on the computer is actually spent typing.

My gf bought me Final Fantasy Origins

I played Final Fantasy II until 3 am this morning :sleep:

Im taking my New Mexico Lobos to a 11-1 year in NCAA Football 2004

Working through MC Watchtower again

Tiger Woods 2004 is also keeping me busy im playing 36 holes every day

And ive fired up Civ III and im having alot of fun with that game
The new expansion coming out looks really really good too...I may have to buy that one

Hrmmm my library is well over 100 games, so I'll just list the ones that hang out in my top 10 CD case near the computer.

1) Medieval Total War - excellent marriage of TBS/RTS game, hopefully many more editions of this game engine will find their way to the computer.

2) Combat Misson Barbarossa - a quick and entertaining sort of TBS/RTS game that seems to hold it's own in my library.

3) Combat Mission Overlord - same as above with less interface goodies to play with and a little less graphic quality, but, still rates highly.

4) Civilization III - what can I say, the mother of them all for TBS from alpha to alpha so to speak. heh.

5) Kohan Ahriman's Gift - the kind of RTS I enjoy, very little micromanagement and a lot of action. Gather and rush RTS bore me.

6) Rails Across America - Not your fathers Railroad Tycoon, but, more indepth financial/cut-throat race than building lil railroad tracks and watchin the choo choo's go by! lol

7) Europa Universalis II - An interesting strategy game for the time period I'm not totally familar with, but, getting into lately.

8) Sid Meiers Gettysburg - for those times when just one more charge up the ridge might break the union front.

9) Panzer General II - One of the better beer and pretzel WW2 strategy/tactical games of the early years.

10) Galactic Civilizations - recently pushed Battlefield 1942 out of the 10th spot, but, I have five reserve slots in my case so BF1942 still hangs in there. lol Galactic Civ is like Civilization in space. Pretty good AI worthy of anyone's gaming library.

My oh my where is Eric Youngs Squad Assault gonna fit in that list, we shall have to see after I get it.

My fav, game Tribes 1 and tribes 2 (in my opinion the best mp ever made) cant wait for the third one.

battle isle4 (andosia war)
CMBB
stronghold
EYSA
train simulator and alot of add ons for that one. (but thats because i,m a traindriver in RL and my son like it)
Blitzkrieg
Vietcong

--SPWAW MC:LV -- never finished this one due to some crashing and loss of save files the first time through. Finally aiming to finish it up. Also, likely to be the only computer wargame I play until the arrival of CL:COI next year.

--Madden 2003 -- Green Bay franchise. (Just got this one cheap at EB)

and at the same time picked up the latest Morrowind expansion, so I'm spending some time on that as well...

However, in the last 6 months I've gone from the luxury of a T1 internet connection in a college dorm room, to no internet access at all with my home computer, so I only spend about 10% of the time I would have a year ago on computer gaming... the extra time is going into reading and painting (republican romans and first century gauls) thankfully.

Combat Mission 2,
Titans of Steel: Warring Suns,
Medieval Total War,
UFO: Aftermath
Those blooming Popcap Webgames.

...this will all change on Friday as Worms 3D is released in the UK...I love those little fellas.

Im taking my New Mexico Lobos to a 11-1 year in NCAA Football 2004

Ha! I just crushed your Lobos with my Air Force Falcons! GO BLUE!!!

For those of you that put Allied General, how did that one compare with Pacific General? I always wanted AG but I was a day late and a dollar short so I had to go with PG instead. It really seemed like PG would be funner against another person.

I took the falcons into 3 OT's in my first season

My only loss was when I was crushed by the Colo St Rams...they are the best team in the conference and hard to beat
Their are alot of team in that conference about at the skill level that make it interesting to play
Im in my second season and Im 6-3 because alot of my team left....I had a great recruting drive and in 2-3 years ill be punishing the rest of that conference
Its nice to have someone else to talk about Mountain West Conference football with
