I've been out of the gaming loop

I'm running at 1600 x 1200 with everything cranked and it looks and runs great.
No hesitation whatsoever even during hectic battles.

The only thing so far that I dislike about the game are the indestructable Helicopters.
That is just stupid.

They're not indestructable

If not then they are unrealistically tough. I've shot one with 25 rocket launcher rounds and an untold number of machine gun bullets without scratching it.

Painkiller
UT2004
Call of Duty

Nobody mentioned "GOTHIC" I & II. Its a fantastic RPG. You can do so much, so many side quests and interact with everyone with there own agendas. I loved the first one and still have to play the newest one.

"HomeWorld" is a great massive strategy game set in space. Very good, but kinda has a learning curve.

i'd love to suggest freedom force but their shoddy coding got hosed when sp2 came out and they haven't patched it.

Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile. . .

A GREAT game. . .

Tied for number one:
Call of Duty, Painkiller, Painkiller Battle out of Hell.
I'm enjoying HL2.
I liked FarCry.
I aslo enjoyed Max Payne II and UT2004.
I'm not real amped about the Call of Duty expansion.
I thought Doom3 sucked, but admit I haven't given it much time. It bored me.
For flat out kill and splatter mayhem, Painkiller (and BOOH) can't be beat. I love it. It's senseless stupid violence that lacks strategy and really relies on gamer skills, just like all the old Atari games when I was a kid. The graphics absolutely rock and the developers' imagination was warped.
Can you tell I like Painkiller?
