Used to play my older games -- Simcity, Civ, MoO, etc... -- then I got World of Warcraft and well life is new and fresh.

It all seems to be personal choice. Personally i think first person shooters have been constantly improving from WOLF3D -> Doom 1/2 -> Quake -> HL -> Doom3 -> HL2. This is my pesronal opinion of course. Other people may add in Quake3 etc but those werent revolutionary enough. As far as RTSs go i think the best was Starcraft, personally im not really into the new style but WC3 and DoW were both really good.

I think you forgot the Unreal line.

Wolf -> Doom -> Quake -> HL -> Unreal -> Unreal Tournament (multiplayer only, no CD patch included by dev) -> UT2004 -> HL2
Much better

I'm still playing Civ2. I just wish I had the original instead of Gold. In the Gold version diplomacy sucks. Everyone hates you, period.

naw, i'm playing cs source now. sadly i've probably only played halflife 2 for 1 hour so far

only game i'm really nostolgic for and still occasionally play is starcraft. that game pwns all! let alone cc and its sh*tty interface

This happened to me before, and I found it was because I was being closed minded and didn't like change. If I found something I liked, I would keep with it and not accept any substitutes, even though something better might come along.

It's a personality flaw
