Playing lots of RW and Arma 2 Combined Operations. Great graphics, and a good bunch of players on-line. !!*ok*!

Right now for me it's Minecraft and Railworks, with a little bit of Roller Coaster Tycoon too.

Still having fun with Borderlands, FEAR 3, Homeland, RW and ETQW (Enemy Territory Quake Wars)

Looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and Rage. Brink was a big failure. Waste of $50.

RW2 is currently my main focus

[usernametaken]

I love Minecraft, recently downloaded Counter-Strike:Source, TF2, and Garry's Mod, it's just too bad that I lag badly whenever I play online I'm definitely pre-ordering Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim though for the 360 (laptop will probably explode if I tried to put it on there)

Does anybody else here play Homeworld? I still play occasionally, although RW has taken up most of my game time lately.

[PapaXpress]

I didn't play Homeworld, but I played Homeworld II. Awesome game.

[arizonachris]

Does anybody else here play Homeworld?

I bought it because I thought, "cool, a space game!" Yes, I am a Sci Fi nerd. Got thru the tutorial, then it was like micromanagement. *sigh* At least it was only $19.95. It's a beautifully done game, graphics are great. But point and click isn't my cup of tea.

Aside from RW, it's all just shooters.

With one exception, I've never found a video game or simulation that interested me other than the usual three rail simulators, of which I have abandoned two, leaving only RW2 (soon RW3) on my computer.

That one exception was somebody-or-other's Roman Empire simulation. I taught theatre history for many years and thought it might be fun to be able to order up a Roman theatre for a city I'd constructed. After installing the sim and reading a lot of the instructions (which should have been written in Latin, of course), I gave it a try. Shortly after the simulation began running, along came some people and started to set up a village. While I hunted for various key combinations to figure out how to make the village grow, along came some other folks and burned the village to the ground. I think the DVD is still lounging around my desk somewhere, but the sim is long gone from my hard disks.

Conclusion: railroading is much easier than empire building.

Are you sure? What about building a Railroad Empire?

Wow, isn't it wonderful that even a theatre Professor (?) can enjoy a train simulator?

Railroad Tycoon comes to mind.
