[TrevorW]

This is not hobbies but games we play singularly or with others,

1. Suduko
2. Chess
3. Scrabble (any word(s) related game)
4. Stud Poker(Texas Poker)
5. Supreme Commander


probably a few others but these are the ones I enjoy playing most often :thumbsup:

[Marke]

World of warcraft ! 5yrs now and we both play together religiously :D

I play a browser-based game called Kingdomsof Camelot... Was originally a Facebook game, but now on Kabam.com

Looks pretty simple at first glance, but there's a lot of intricate strategy which goes into it... Plus the ability to chat and form alliances, met a few great people on there...

I'm mainly a PS(3) hardcore player, have been since they came out. Playing Red dead redemption right now.

I do like a good game of Texas no limit Hold em Poker.
I have an octagonal poker table and professional chip set.
But it is hard finding enough for a good round.
It usually gets an outing on Christmas after lunch.

And my favourite Board Game is Pictionary, but, again, no one will play it with us (me and the missus).
We are good at it and generally win by three quarters of the board length. Even when we are trying to play slow to let others catch up.
Its a in joke here that when the Pictionary comes out, it is time to go home.
For some reason or other, the other team(s) generally end up in a domestic.

Anyone interested in either of the above?

[Matt Wastell]

My list
Chess
X-box (car racing is my thing)
Scrabble (when I catch up with Mum)
Snakes and Ladders (with my son)
Pool (are we doing more than board / computer type games)
Golf

[Astro_Bot]

Alan's post reminded me (and sorry of this is a tad off-topic) but, years ago, a few of my friends and I would get together every Tuesday night for board games - Pictionary was one, but also Risk, Trivial Pursuit, and a few others I can't remember right now. It was simple fun, but effective (and, importantly, cheap, since we weren't rich).

I sometimes play an old arcade game, Galaga, on a MAME emulator - it's good for a bit of light fun.

At the moment my favourite game is "gunna" - that's all the computer games I buy, install and that I'm "gunna" play when I get around to it .... ;)

[04Stefan07]

[TechnoViking]

[lacad01]

[asimov]

Actually I've clocked it twice so far & halfway into the 3rd go lol! I like it too, I guess that's obvious!:D Must get my money's worth out of it!:thumbsup:

[troypiggo]

Counter-Strike - the pace, gameplay, round length, chat, addons, cost, skill. All came together to make an amazingly fun game that stands the test of time.

[goober]

Open your eyes to the great board games out there ;)

[04Stefan07]

I am getting Red Dead Undead Nightmare as part of my Xmas presents. Definitely get stuck into that once I get it!

[Forgey]

Some games I'm currently playing.

PC:
Call of Duty(most of them)
Portal 1 & 2
Sims 3

Xbox 360:
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

[LAW]

Assassin's Creed. Altair > All.

I don't like where it's going with the new ones though, I prefer to sneak around with the hidden blade and throwing knives rather than use all the gadgets they've got now.

Also the original Call of Duty, Medal of Honour, and Raven Shield at LAN parties. I don't really like playing multiplayer online, there's something strangely satisfying about being able to throw cold pizza at someone when you lose. :P

Supreme Commander is brilliant, every bit as good as the original Total Annihilation (Keep an eye out for another sequel ;)).

[Vegeta]

My top 5 are:
- Starcraft II
- Diablo 3
- League of Legends
- Minecraft (Tekkit)
- Star Wars Battlefront II

It's all PC for me :D

[rmuhlack]

Settlers of Catan (board game) is fantastic - wife and I are huge fans, and have most of the expansions and add-ons (the Traders and Barbarians expansion is probably my favourite).
Also:
Ticket to Ride
Risk
500 (an old favourite from uni days)
and most recently, Mahjong

[omegacrux]

N64 Goldeneye & Command & conquer the original
Pc Starcraft
Ps2 Black

Don't play any board games, but I am VERY partial to all the S.T.A.L.K.E.R PC game series - VERY immersive!

Only PC game I have EVER kept on my system after finishing it - I have replayed the entire series MULTIPLE times now.

Metro 2033 (made by the same team, now split into two factions) is GOOD - just does not grab me as much.

If they redid the earlier CoD series with the newer graphics etc, I'd be into those again.

But my all time favourite - and this ages me - was the entire Zork series. They lost a LOT of the "magic" when they went from script style to graphics based.

[FlashDrive]

PC .... First Person Shooters.

Quake
Half Life
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Far Cry
Soldier of Fortune Gold II Edition
Soldier of Fortune PayBack
Fear
Call of Duty Black Ops
Crysis / Crysis Warhead / Crysis 2

:D

[Iain.k]

board game- diplomacy
Pc games- Total War: Shogun 2, Dark souls, The elders scroll series.

Diplomacy is a great game if you have a few friends and a lot of time to spend having fun.

[hotspur]

Chess for me,never been fussed on computer games.Not much good at cards,but I do read tarot-at least I know I'm going to leave the building with money-unlike when I go to the casino and play blackjack.

[goober]

Yes Settlers is the it game that exploded in 1995, and really opened up the superb European board games to English publishers. Interesting to hear about the Pirates expansion coming out soon, nearly 20 years on.

[Mun]

Kerbal Space Program! :D

[sheeny]

I'm not much into computer games. Favourite computer games are probably

Freecell

Of the board games my favourites would be:

Bananagrams
Boggle
Scrabble
Balderdash
Rummy King

Others:
Sudoku
Cryptic crosswords

[FlashDrive]

[TheDecepticon]

PS3 is Rainbow Six, Skyrim, Oblivion, Battlefield, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Everybodies Golf, to name a few.

Got Doctor Who monopoly for Xmas so that should be good. My friends won't play board games with me anymore though, cause I always finish at/near the front.

[DavidLJ]

Go. The best game ever.

[taminga16]

Chess, and Backgammon over coffee and conversation at my favorite Italian Caf'e.

No computer games now. I did play the puzzle type games like Myst in the past but have lost interest in them. Never liked the shooting games.

[Darth Wader]

PS3 - Far Cry 3, Black Ops 1 & 2, Resident Evil 6, Mass Effect 2 (a must for any self-respecting sci-fi fan).
