I play warcraft 3 and starcraft intermittently... I delete them whenever I have tests coming up but install them again during breaks.

I wouldn't say these are computer games, but I am into Full Tilt Poker, and iSketch, an online pictionary game. I play them on the computer, and they are games...so yeah.

What does WC and SC stand for?
 
I'm addicted to gunbound revolution!! It's like worms. I play a few hours a day even while I'm studying for the mcat :p
 
SIMS 2...sometimes. lol :oops: :p
 
Counter Strike Source :thumbup:.

I am a huge Civilization fan as well, but I play it rarely since I like to play till the end and that usually take like 50 hours or so. Plus, Civ is so addictive that I end up playing till 7am and that totally screws up my sleep cycle. The beauty of counterstrike for me is that I can play for an hour here or there whenever I get a chance as opposed trying to complete a game of Civ.
 
I think I'm going to start playing LEGO Island again. I was really into it back in 1997 or 1998.
 
I haven't played any computer games since the summer, haha. But then I was playing Sim City 3000 Unlimited. However, I reformatted my computer between now and then and never saved my metropolis :(.

I played World of Warcraft my freshman year of college. Completely decimated my GPA and general attitude towards academics in general. Somehow, over the summer, I quit. I still don't know how.

Two years later, while my attitude has surely changed, I'm still working to repair the damage done to my GPA. :rolleyes:

I'll second how addictive Civ is...it's the only game I've really played at all lately...and when I do, yes, it forces you to play for hours-on-end:p
 
COD4 and WC3 Custom Map
I bet there are plenty others here who play it too
 
The Age of Empire series....and most RPG or FPS games, right now I'm playing the New Unreal tournament Demo (awesome)!
 
I used to play Alice (until I beat it). Absolutely amazing game.

I also spent some time playing America's Army - usually on the dutch server where I don't get taken out in 5 seconds - because I did a video game study at my University and they got me addicted to it.
 
I'm a bit oldschool and I like playing those older point and click adventure games the best (the longest journey, syberia, etc.). I've played some team fortress 2, starcraft, WoW and a few asian mmorpgs here and there, but I'm not a big fan of the mmo world because the people annoy me :p
 
this has to be the dorkiest thread ever...

that being said, i play HL2 and a little bit of team fortress...
 
starcraft and C&C

can't wait for starcraft II to come out!
 
:oops:
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum
Hospital Tycoon :thumbup:
Airport Tycoon 1 & 3

:oops:

Anybody play hospital tycoon? :)

I did, but the illnesses became so redundant that I stopped playing after the first hour.

When I have time I like to fire up Oblivion, Call of Duty 4, or EverQuest 2.
 
I'm an old school WC3 DotA addict.
 
I am spending most of my time before starting school playing Lord of the Rings Online. MMOs are quite addicting.
 
Extremely guilty pleasure: Maple Story.

I'm going to have to officially bonk you in the head :D



Mainly I played WC3 (mostly DoTA), SC, Baulder's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights (yeah so I'm a D&D fan you can tell), Civilization series, Heroes of Might and Magic series


and a LOT of other titles...
 
I don't play PC games anymore, but right now I'm playing "Trauma Center: Under the Knife" for DS.

WOOOO!

I play it entirely left handed in hopes of improving my left handed dexterity.

Don't forget to play the Wii version too
 
Super Smash, Resident Evil 4 on the Wii

Hoping to get PS2 to play all the Final Fantasies and Kingdom Hearts that I missed out on...

Loved Kingdom Hearts! It really brings out your childhood Disney without cheesing it up :)

I'm a huge Rome freak. I had to uninstall Civilization because if I start a game, I'm useless for a week. Civ 3 has a couple Rome scenarios that almost cost me my job. I DREAM about my next moves. My gf bought me Rome: Total War for X-mas. She said "I thought you'd like this."

My eyes went wide and I said "Do you know what you've done!?! There's a reason I haven't bought this game in the two years its been out! You've just given a never ending bottle of vodka to an alcoholic!" I still haven't installed it because all its going to take is that first sip to start me on a bender.

Viva Cera Nocere!
 
PS3 Call of Duty 4 online (send my your psn if you play, we can team up some time).

I'm also looking for a good strategy game for my laptop, any good ones that run on a Mac? I've been hearing a lot about Civilization in here?
 
Unreal Tournament 99

www.prounreal.com

still a competitive community after 8 long years .. I represented USA in the Nation's Cup for this game last year .. pretty nerdy I know, lol.
 
I am a world class Free-Cell/Solitaire/Spider champion.

Sigh. So many hours wasted...but no regrets.
 
ROCK BAND!!!!
About to take my first break from studying in a while and play the Endless setlist with some friends! Screw the MCAT!(for the next 6 hours >.>)

I've dabbled in Blizzard games since Warcraft 2, including Starcraft, Warcraft 3 (DotA was amazing), and Diablo 2, but I forced myself to stay far away from WoW. :rolleyes:

Also loved HL and HL2, Portal, and Left 4 Dead... pretty much anything by Valve is amazing.
