Wing Commander IV and Prophecy
(ahh that takes me back to when gameplay and story telling was king - the most immersive combat SIM series ever! Just imagine how mind blowing COD could be with the character development and interaction we had with the WC universe with a similar narrative story telling style with cut scenes. I love jumping into system and preparing for a run at a capital ship in a bomber with escort)

Evochron Mercenary (Starwraith games space combat - just came across this last week, cross between X3 and WC without the complexity of X3)

1946 (mostly just various user campaign addons now)

ROF (though actually finding it hard to really get into it)

DCS A-10 (still learning this one)

Wings of Prey (great for a quick no fuss fun DF with eye candy)

BOBII (yep still love the strategy/sim aspect of this one when I have a few more hours up my sleeve for a decent stint)

Crysis 2 (replaying with DX11 ultra pack - still a little disappointed with this one)

BFBC2 (still one of the best games for a quick FPS fix)

Witcher 2 (nothing like a bit of hack n slash to let out your COD frustrations)

Shelved but makes an occasional appearance

ME2
Metro 2033
X3 series
FSX
Battle Stations Pacific

Hmmm never heard of it... Is it any good? I have been waiting for the next X:Reloaded.

Because of steam I've been playing Team Fortress 2 quite a lot. As mentioned before it's free and mindless fun.

I've also gotten heavily into learning to fly the PMDG 747 in FSX. Picked up FSX Gold for $30 the other week. I never thought all those procedures (and not a whiff of combat) would hook me in, but I'm nearing 35 so I guess I'm inclined to go this route? :)

Then I've also been playing ROF, "ARMA 2 OA" and my old favourite 'Day of Defeat'.

Yesterday I fired up IL2 1946 as I had P-38 withdrawal and for a second I thought I was playing Capcom's 1942, amazing how aged the graphics have become after COD/ROF.

I forgot to mention I was playing COD a lot until the last patch. The AI drives me nuts and online is too empty so I'm afraid I'm bored of it at the moment.

Of course it will.. There is a reason they called the Bad Company version Bad Company.

If you can get a good deal yes. MGS4, uncharted and killzone are fantastic series and littlebigplanet is a lot of fun.

Just bare in mind the ps4 will be out soon :D

It very much depends...how badly do you want to play the exclusives? It's really a personal choice and I wouldn't want to take the responsibility of advising you one way or the other.

I looked at a PS3 last year, but decided it wasn't worth it to me. But to each his own.

Me too. I really haven't played much at all, but I don't get the same buzz playing this as I did with the original.
Maybe next time, we can get back into the jungle again. I think the game is just begging for more open-ended gameplay.

Apart from the obvious 1946 & CoD, I'm into Day of Defeat Source

Yeah its worth a bash. Some of the graphics are a bit dated but then other bits are outstanding and the gameplay is pretty good with Newtonian physics.

X3 was just way too complex for very little enjoyment benefit where as this is just the right amount of complexity.. Not a bad effort for a 1 man show!
