Hard drive died recently and I got a new one. Had to reinstall windows. First game that went on was Unreal Tournament 3. I played it for half an hour. Next I put on Deus Ex.
Still havent played any other games.

Installed Baldurs Gate 2 and when I find all the mods I like I will start again. (I like the BG2 Tweak Pak.)

What's in the tweak pak?

My personal fave is the unlimited stacks for ammunition. You can have up to 9999 arrows in one box. Since ammo doesnt weigh anything its awesome for keeping your inventory neat and your archers well supplied.

You can also do the same thing for potions but they have weight. Its still nice for keeping a hundred Extra Healings in your fighters quick-slot though.

Just got time again today after returning from office and got onto to playing MoH:AA again...this game is really awesome! I remember the first time I played it (long aga that is) was on normal difficulty, so decided to go for hard difficulty this time. ;)

Think I'll play SWAT 3: Elite Edition soon, had that game for years now and never really got into playing it....anyone who has?

Yup, it's a good game and for $9.99 it sounds a great buy.

I whip out Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy now and then. I freakin' LOVE force powers.

Lucasarts really screwed the PC Gamer this past year with the Force Unleashed. I will never understand. Didn't a rep for the company in an interview say that the game would be too 'graphically intensive' for the majority of PCs out there, so consoles were the only choice?

Unbelievable.

Sorry to hijack this thread for a second.

Cheers.

That game was generally said to be mediocre anyway, so it was no big loss.

I currently have games in progress of Unreal, Riddick, Titan Quest, and Far Cry (off the top of my head).
