    I'm that way too, Aces. :) I've played C&C, UT2K3, Age of Empires 2, Battlefield:1942, and Counterstrike. What is Desperados?

    RPGs tend to be the best, however.

    From your list I only played Warcraft 2 and Age of empires 1 and 2. But the best non rpg game out there is still Heroes of Might and Magic series.
    I like turn based so much better then real time BTW.

    I have played Unreal Tournament, Rainbow six, C&C, Age of Empires (Although I'm terrible at it), GTA3 and quake. A lot are my brothers games, so I play a fair few genres.

    Hephaestus, Desperado's is best compared with Commando's and Robin Hood. Not sure how you call this type of game, but i love em all.

    Does Starcraft count as part of the Warcraft series?

    I've played Commandos. I would say it's a kind of Strategy game.

    [​IMG] I like to buy two games every time I feel the need for some new gaming. I like to play action games(unreal tournament) and mindless killing games, and funny games like Grand theft auto 3. And then I like to go play some good old story based Rpg's like Baldur's gate. Also I like some other Rpg games like Arcanum and Diablo II. Rts are fun but I really suck at them so I don't play them all that often. If someone wants to give me some tips and basically be my personal trainer for RTS, haha, email me at kj7687@hotmail.com or AIM me. My AIM screen name is: IcyDmbPpl :D Oh and in answer to Hephaestus question, Desperados is a fun(kind of cheesy) little western game alot like commando's except set in the 1800's. I really like unreal tournament, I didn't know it was so popular. If anyone wants to die by my evil weapons online in UT03 email or AIM me and we'll have some fun.

    @Apeman: Doesn't Might and Magic still count as a RPG? And yeah, I like turn based combat more too! When I first played BG, melee combat seemed so weird. They would swing away but no hit rolls come up in the dialogue box - made me wonder if I was playing it properly.

    On topic: I only played Warcraft 2 out of the listed games. And I didn't feel too much urge to play Starcraft or other games of that style afterwards.

    I'm talking about 'Heroes' of might and magic which is a turnbased fantasy stratagy game.

    Might and Magic series are turnbased/realtime Role playing games.

    I played some C&C and some AoE. The rest on the list were all shooters and racers.

    If you had some adventure-games listed like the Monkey Island series, Sierra's Quests, Day of the Tentacle, Larry, Simon the Sorcerer, Sam and Max etc, you could have got even some more votes! ;)
