    Fable. It could have been better, but it's still quite fun.

    Stronghold, so much better than I expected. Finally archers don't fire homing arrows (cough Age of empires cough).

    Probably it would be Trackmania, although most of my gaming these days is still CM00/01.

    I don't play that many games anymore, so the last one I played is also the last one I enjoyed... Might and Magic 9.

    I would have to say Star Wars: Kotor.

    If you count replaying games I would have to say BG2 - I just finished one game last week and I have started another one.

    If we're talking RPGs then Icewind Dale II was the last I truly enjoyed. (to truly enjoy: foregoing sleep in preference to the game, whether by intent or by forgetful neglect)

    Outside of RPGs, the last would be re-playing through the entire Myst series in a week.

    Some of the games that I'm currently playing are Icewind Dale 1, Thief 1&2, Baldur's Gate 2, Starcraft and Der Langrisser (an ancient snes game, and one of my favorite).

    The last game I really enjoyed playing was NFS:U. It hit the stores a long time ago, but I just bought it recently for the PS2.

    The last PC game I really enjoyed was, like many of you agree, SW: KoToR, but also Sacred.

    Most games that are published nowdays don't cut it for me.

    I've been playing a lot of Joint Ops lately too. That has to take the crown of the best multiplayer shooter I've ever played. Almost 150 people per server is just mindblowing, and the graphics look incredible with my X800 Pro.

    The Sims 2. Like it, would love it if there weren't so many faults and things that made me think: "Hey, why didn't they make it possible to ... in the first place?"

    -- Socialization to swimming.
    -- Custom eye and skin colours.
    -- Sim per step in stairs and faster to use.
    -- Ability to kick out un-invited "guests."
    -- Making items either cheap, standard, or luxus instead of some random price/enviroment dependancy.
    -- Group-woohoo and romances. Yeah. :D
    -- LAN play to computers.
    -- Cancelling the newspaper.
    -- Multiple same type service-people.
    -- Tending garden over low-walls.
    -- Horizon with at least *something* in it. :rolleyes:
    -- Your own cycle/motorcycle/car/limo.

    Next, they will probably try to make us pay of some menial updates. :nolike:

    @Lazy Bonzo - I really really liked Stronghold. Did you ever notice how it wishes you merry christmas and crap like that? This was a couple or three years ago, but I finished the assault campaign or whatever, but didn't get past the defensive one (damn bandits!).

    Heh, I remember when it started abusing me for playing it too long. Something like "My lord, you must get some rest. You will grow tired and your decisions may falter."

    It's a brilliant game. I might just reinstall it and play a bit.

    Hahahaha, yeah I remember that too. It had an in-game clock and calender. I noticed when you've been playing for about 5 hours, it'll say "My Lord, how about a snack to replenish your energy" or something like that. :)

    I pretty much agree with Midwinter about Rome. I've been playing Freelancer on PC a lot, and GTA:SA on PS2. Freelancer has kept me entertained for quite a while now.

    Have you played the expansion: Crusader? I planned on buying it but was low on funds at the time, now when I have the money I can't seem to find it. If you have played it, is it good?
