I got the first one and to be honest I got tired of that game quickly .... I like games that have a more complex AI ... was fun for a little while though.
As for me... with 2 professional gamers in my family, two engineering degrees and some programming knowledge I can tactically break down games and see the basic AI patterns quickly ... which to be honest, ruins a lot of games for me
.
These days I find I like online modern or WWII FPS games (to flex my military background) or free-roam mission games like GTA in which I find enough AI variation to keep it interesting. ...... or I go old school with Zelda or Q-bert and except the AI as elementary and comical.
if you like the GTA franchise then you will like Red Dead, it's the same foot print. Single, multi and now co-op missions are all there. Definitely a good "used game" buy.
One game I've really wanted to try, but don't own an Xbox360, is Mass Affect ... I've heard great things about it's software engine.

Oldschool AD&D fan here too, its strangly missed and the dice and paper game just isnt the same as computer versions. That being said, there are some really awesome RPGs out there, theyre getting better. In my book Bioware holds the banner when it comes to good storytelling
ATM I play mostly consoles, Xbox and PS3, bad company 2 and red dead redemption being the favorites.. can recommend red dead for the pureness and amazing characters, story and enviroment, plus its a perfect stoner game

You wont go wrong there, but its strengths is the story and the choices you make which really molds the game.
I played ME2 and went to a friends house to play it abit with him, only noting that his game was totally diffrent from mine, what you say and do in those games really have an impact. That being said, the shooter part can feel abit wonky as its not there they focused the attention too much.
bioshock! love it!

Old school AD&D fan here also. Nothing will ever compare to the pen/paper rpg's that forced you to use yer imagination...it is more real than viewing even the best computer graphics.
I still love video games, mainly pc, for I got my start on the commodore 64 back in 85. PC games I love now:
Bioshock 1 & 2
Counterstrike Source
Unreal Tournament 3
This year is gonna be big for pc gamers...so many good first person shooters are coming out, but the main game I'm drooling over is Diablo 3 next year!
any word on a new doom game?

I was into video games heavily 3-7 years ago...
CounterStrike 1.3-1.6. I ended up making quite a bit of money being sponsored/payed to travel and compete around NA. The competative scene got split up when CS:S came out and that's when I quit.
I put a lot of hours into the GTA series... Man that game online was fun!
Last year they released a new Q3 that's based in your web browser. The guy who coded it was the original coder for Quake.. Forget his name... Anyway, it's called Quakelive.
When I get some extra cash I'm buying a 360 and getting FIFA 11 when it comes out.. Mastered Fifa 10 at a friends over the last year.. Need my own now.
How safe would it be to add people from these forums to friends on xbox? Is there a way to look up details on someone? IE trace their connection somehow/leak some info without knowing it, posing a security threat? If it's secure, It'd be sweet if all the gamers on here could play together . We'd have some real flamewars goin down haha
