You remind me of my brother ArcT he likes and plays every single game you put up! Me I go for the more weirder games. By the way I resized your images for you hope you don't mind. Very Happy

For fun, comedy, and difficult puzzles Space Quest if so your game, this game is one of the funnest games I've ever played even if the graphics are caveman style.


Half Life is the game that redefined gaming it has to be one of the best games ever made I'm still replaying every single one ever made.


Then the more recent games I've been playing include Prey which is quite a good game despite the f bomb dropping indian.


Condemned which makes me jump higher than I thought possible when people sneak up behind me and bash me with blunt objects.


Lastly Resistance: Fall of Man which is also a pretty awesome game for the PS3.


And as for the games I can't wait to get include Bioshock, Assassins Creed and Command and Conquer Tiberian Wars.

I generally abhor violence and death and killing and what-have-you, because I don't think it necessary. Having said that, I do find it quite stress-relieving to do that kind of thing. I'm not talking "Manhunt"-esque banned-from-everyone-because-it's-too-violent things- I'm talking about tactical things. Something that needs a brain to win, rather than a gratuitously large axe.

So GRAW (Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter) was a natural choice for my most recent buy Very Happy Though it doesn't work on my machine. Ho hum.

Then, before that, it was Star Wars Republic Commando that I used to vent my spleen. Again, tactical gameplay with a team of mateys that go do stuff of their own accord, as well as obeying your every whim (although I still need to find that "kiss my feet" button Laughing) :


I tend to do a lot of racing games as well- I enjoy driving in real life, and I like to think of a car as a petrol-drinking extension of myself that moves a bit faster. I like to just wander around a driving game rather than race in it, however. It's more fun to just drift around and enjoy the scenery:


Finally, the biggy. It's an RTS by the name of Homeworld 2. There's something special about building a vast armarda of buttock-prodding machines and death-lasering holes in enemy ships with your own mahussive vessels Very Happy These screenies are actually taken from a modification done by the Relic community (Relic being the publisher of the game Wink)





As you're probably aware now, I go for realism rather than content... I like to be immersed in a game, and my taste in entertainment is a lot like my taste in everything else- it spans *mostly* all the genres and gives me a wide range of things to choose from. Okay, so spaceships is hardly realism, but it's the details that really stand out. I go for something that looks plausible and well-constructed, rather than something that looks cartooney and block-like.

That's about it, really... ooh, and I modified the thread title, because it is quite image-heavy now Embarassed I hope you don't mind...

If someone can find a way to reduce the sizes of those images, it'd be awesome. If not, I'm getting around to resizing them Smile

It's the lifestyle, violence and gore in no way disturbs or gross me out. I grew up shooting rabbits with shotguns and birds with B B guns the first thing I'm doing on my eighteenth birthday is putting a rifle or shotgun in my name. Consider me violent or trigger happy or whatever you want to label me as but I just I am who I am.

I don't generally go for violence. GRAW, while certainly detailed, in no way depicts realistic violence. There are no Saving Private Ryan effects here- basically, you click a button, there's a "kill confirmed", and you move on. RepComm goes a little further, in that getting close enough to something you're... inhuming will splash your visor, but there is still no real... violence... Your team-mates, in both situations, can be taken down by something else, but there are no blown off limbs, there is no death involved... these two games are less violent than an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. And Homeworld 2? Violent? Nope... not really... it's more of a strategy. Similar to the "Civilisation" games- if you like, you can win a game by just sitting there while the computer players are busily hammering each other. But that's kinda boring. But just because it has a decent engine and detailed texturing, that makes it violent?
