What game are you addicted to and why?

So basically i want to start a thread of the games you can't get enough of on the m11x and why you love it so much. Since i work full time. go to school part time, and have a gf who takes up more time than both, I have to be picky with what games i get to squeeze into the precious time given. So i'm think we each list our top 3 games

For me, i'm obsessed with Borderlands. It's the first game since diablo 2: lod that i truly haven't gotten tired of playing . It combines my 2 favorite genre's of games. shooters and rpg's. the humor is fresh and the 3 good DLC's( not including moxxi's) it adds even more fun. I know there are many people who don't like the art style, but i think it's great. nothing is better than watching someone's head explode from across the map with a sniper. All while the word Critical comes from where the head is supposed to be.

Torchlight is another game that fills a hole in my heart for D2 and for WoW. just for the fact that all my d2 disk got lost when i moved houses and i refuse to play wow again b/c i enjoy having a life. You all know about torchlight and how fun it is. but some of you might not know the huge modding community behind the game. from creating new classes. character models, texture models, even a mod to control the camera so you can play in 3rd person instead of isometric. The game is great. has plenty of depth and is worth the price since it's constantly on sale on steam.

Mass Effect 2. Enough said. The game is perfection. The only gripe i have is i wish the cover system was set up more like Splinter Cell: Conviction, which is another great game. but none the less the game is absolutely amazing and everyone should own and play this game.

 

Hmmm... Champions-Online is my love - I can't get enough of graphically designing super-heroes and working out effective power sets.

Playing Star Trek Online because I am a lame geek

Then of course, Battlefield 2: Bad Company.

An oldie but a goodie - Tropico!!!

 

Right now Dirt 2, Supreme Commander 2 and Red Faction Guerilla

I love open world/sand box games, I played over 60 hours each, The Saboteur, Just Cause 2, inFAMOUS, Red Faction Guerilla, Fallout 3/NV, Oblivion, etc.

 

call of duty 4 multiplayer

 

Call of duty MW2
League of legends
any MMO that makes me want to play
i get to any game easily ;p

 

Starcraft 2 - why? It's extremely versitle map editor makes it more than just a RTS - it's many, many games in one.

 

Battle field 2 still. Love the 64 players per map deal... way better than 32 players now.

 

I'm actually not addicted to any games!

I tried getting back into Minecraft, but I just don't get the same feel as I did when I had my desktop.

Though I am enjoying Insurgency... when I do play it, I'll be on it for a little over an hour. Such a great mod.

 

cod black ops
fallout 3 / new vegas ( i like 3 more though)
PES 10!!

 

BF2142 until I ran across WOT (World of Tanks). I haven't been addicted to a game this much since Mechwarrior.

 

Mass Effect 2, on my I think 8th playthrough crafting my perfect Shepard in anticipation for ME3.

The Witcher, took awhile to get started but once the story started to get going I can't stop.

Dragon Age: Origins & Awakening, playing through some different user created mods and creating my ideal character to get ready for Dragon Age 2.

 

I love you. BATTLEFIELD FTW

 

I thought Dragon Age 2 would not allow importing of characters?

 

Characters won't import but the decisions you make will carry over:
Dragon Age II: BioWare Interview | NowGamer

 

Oh, that's cool. I still have a long way to go to finish the original, so I guess I need to get to work!

 

In no particular order:

Diablo II: LoD (quality playing time with my girlfriend)
Guild Wars (Missions, Quests, and 12 vs 12 of PvP goodness that is the Alliance Battles with no monthly fees)
Left for Dead 2 (guns and zombies, what's not to like? ^^)

 

good man! me and my girlfriend used to play WoW together. but we both quit and were waiting on Torchlight 2 to come out in a couple months since we both play the 1st one. just not together.

 

When I bought my M11x I was pretty much set on playing COD.. I have not purchased a single game of COD..

World of warcraft came pre installed so I launched it to see how good the graphics were going to look on the M11, I have been hooked on this ever since... its really anoying when I start dreaming about difrent quest and Im a Night Elf in my dreams..

 

Funny, I finally took a break from WOW after three years... now with the M11x I I am curious to see how it runs but I am afraid I will get hooked again

 

I've been playing a lot of Resident Evil 4. It's actually quite nice with a wired pad and patch 1.10.

 

Don't do it!! I am running ultra high settings with shadows on fair avg 45fps with spikes of 64fps, High settings 55-60fps shadows fair.. in other words it looks really good there for the possibility for relapse is Very high stock settings no Overclocking 4g ram.

 

1. Nevewinter Nights 2 (plus add ons)
2. Torchlight (This game is soooo worth it I dont even know what to say)
3. Bfbc2 (Game of the year for me!)

BW, StevenX

 

I never got into neverwinter nights 2 or dragon age. they look like great games i just don't like rpg's that rely on a group of people. im more of a loner.

 

Fallout: New Vegas. Simply put, I'm a "Post-Apocalyptic" freak ! Gameplay never gets old and with so many different endings, it really makes you feel a part of the game.

As for WoW, took a break after 1 1/2yrs and probably won't go back for the same things listed..addicted! I did try it out to see the graphics/race changes in Cata .. ran great, but with the zoom-out mod, I couldn't even see my guy on this small small screen!

 

I "tried" WOW and it was very nice although I just had the trial account, but then I tried and got hooked on Guild Wars--no expansions yet--and it's great so far (I already had the game unopened from a previous computer.)

I can always get into a good COD4 multiplayer too when the mood arises. Plays great on native res/high settings.

 

I played a lot of re 4 whein I had my ps2. Now .... if it is not multiplayer I finish the game in all difficulties and then sell it. I think the game I played the most was mw2(yeah I know ) 31 days on multiplayer

 

Dragon Age: Origins - One of Bioware's finest works, plus it runs great on the R1.

 

1) Geometry Wars Retro Evolved-very addictive. Crazy amount on screen at once. The enemies are relentless. It's a great feeling blasting through a screen full of enemies. It's £1.49 on steam at the moment and totally worth it. You do need a 360 controller though.
2) Mass Effect-just purchased 1 & 2 from the recent Steam deal and already racked up 30 hours! Great storyline and very immersive.I'm going to work my way through both so I have a good character for ME3, I hope it will run well on M11X.

I have never touched WOW and I never will as I know I would get addicted!

 

I mostly play WOW (its morning already!) and a little LFD2 and crysis now and then.
I know im addicted to WOW because it changes so much that I gota keep working to get the next uber great Item. Besides its always a challenge to sneak into bed at the crack of dawn to keep from waking the wife up!

 

Basically I LOVE fps games.

Bioshock 2
COD Black Ops
Metro 2033
MOH

TPS games are pretty good too!

Resident Evil 5
Assassin's Creed II
Mafia II

 

Eve online.

 

Black OPS
BFBC2
counter-strike source---i know its old as hell but still fun

 

Try to mix my addictions
Operation Flashpoint: Resistance (older than hell, but tons of mods) and the most realistic FPS I have seen.. bullets vs sound speed, all kinds of little details no one seems to get right anymore
BF2, just got a copy again from the steam sale... Gotta love it
New Vegas
Boarderlands
Starwars, Empire at War
Killing Floor
Defense Grid:the awakening
and some DOW 40k

Pretty much needs to be multi player to keep my attention for very long..

 

How's Borderlands? Was always curious about this game after reading several reviews.

 

It's kind of like Diablo II with guns but much less clicking (in a way) involved. I played the crap out of it on Xbox and I had it installed for awhile on my R1. It seems like the game's specs are way too high for what it looks like, though.

 

@filmm - Borderlands is so good that it's one of the few games that my wife and I played coop all the way till the end on the 360 when it first released. I purchased it a few weeks ago for pc and I need to install it again.

Think of an FPS with variable loot drops like Diablo2. Over 100,000 weapon possibilities. Seriously. Its a good shooter and a neat environment. A fun worthwhile game.

Best Wishes, StevenX

 

Borderlands is amazing. like everyone said. it's diablo 2 with guns. the classes are diverse enough to give a different play through with each character.it has dungeons, loot, tons of enemies and gives a good open world feel. my only gripe is everthing is the same color. the levels start to look the same after a while. but don't let that deter you. i did 2 playthroughs on 360 and i'm on 2 playthroughs with 2 characters now. i have an R1, i play with high textures. low foliage. medium everything else and everything turned on except shadows. and i enjoy the experience thoroughly. it's on sale for 13 bucks on steam. if you like rpg's and fps go on a limb and get it.

 

Another +1 for Borderlands. A very fun game, I'm hoping a second installment is in the works.

 

one more for borderlands. I love the random gun generation, you can get some funky weapons that way, like a 7 shot revolver

 

i have to say i like the older elder scrolls especially morrowind it has lots of hidden items and just an open world to explore
i also play oblivion but i felt it was lacking compared to morrowind and the only way i play oblivion is with the 40gb of mods
atm im on dragon age preparing for the new one like everyone else

 

You guys and your recommendations and Steam's sales are killing me. I've now got 7 games in my queue behind Fallout:NV and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat.

 

pes 2011.......

 

FIFA, PES (I like so much soccer games) and SIM CITY series

 

Over the past few weeks, Just Cause 2. There's nothing special about the story, but if you want an excuse to sit back and blow things up for hours on end, highly addicting and recommended.

 

Empire Total War, and Guild Wars .

 

Fifa 2011 was onsale at EA store, (not steam) but had to picked it up. Screams on the m15x on full details and 4 AA. I bet the m11 can play it on high as well without AA. Best Wishes, StevenX

 

DAO: the first game installed on my R1 and it lasts ever since. Best RPG for years.
Borderland, never thought I would like this kind of game, but was addicted of creating new guns.
NFS series: the hot poursuit 1 was my favorite, and the HP2 is just amazing (yes, totally fluid on my R1 with everything maxed out).
Virtua Fighter 4 evo (with FCX2 emulator), so realistic and so much fun.

 

Yeah, like people said, the gun creation is great, and The Bosses are pretty epic looking, and the leveling system in a FPS is a lot of fun, Plus the special abilities and mods for the abilities ad a nice twist as well. I have no trouble at all running it on my R2.

 

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I guess Ill have to give it a go after FONV.

EDIT: So I just downloaded Half-Life 1 and 2 from steam for a total of $5. Having never played either, what should I expect?

 

I'm playing batman AA atm, it's a exciting game. nowadays, honestly, there are not any good games make me interested in. I'm still looking for a game which drives me mad and makes me annoyed to stop playing when I havent finished it yet, something like NOX, FALLOUT 1-2, commandos serries.
