So what game takes up all your time (when you're not in here)? Let us know your favourites so those of us who haven't tried them may give them a go... do state which console/pc etc too :)

I've just played Flatout 2 on Xbox, it's pretty cool... Flat Out 2 - have a look click here (http://xbox.gamespy.com/xbox/flatout-2/)

Others are EA Rugby 2006, Fifa 06/World Cup 06, Black all on Xbox and good old Stick Cricket (http://www.stickcricket.com/) on the web.

Underated gem of a game - Mafia.

Spent so long completing that, and will still happily go back for a shoot-out over rooftops, a 1930s style car chase or an assasination.

Also has you saying "Capiche?" more often than usual.

I love the Final Fantasy series. VIII is my alltime favourite game. Presently I'm playing on X-2 (I'm always at least one game behind!) so I suppose that's my favvvvv.

My current favourite's are PGR2 and Halo 2 because I spend most of my living moments online with them games :P

But a true classic has to be Super Mario, I loved playing Mario on my old SNES and NES..

I am finding games a bit boring nowadays....the only game I play is R2006....and that is only because of our upcoming turnament.


The game I really want to try if Oblivion IV the Elder Scrolls on 360.......just that game and that game only....


...otherwise I am waiting for PS3 to take over me and convert me back to Sony.

I waited for years for that game, and then i walked into my local game shop the day it was released without realising it was being released saw it on the shelf and played it for hours on end, until i decided that my graphics card wasnt good enough so i went and brought a new one.... a Truely underestimated game... also i believe the first game in the uk to be on 3 discs

I am also a fan on Sim City, and that Genre of games..

I loved Final Fantasy 7 and 8 back in the day. Next would be NBA Street Vol.2.

Now the only game I play is solitare. Don't have the attention span to start up a game of anything else.

If you do get a chance (probably make it onto your PS3 with any luck) you have to play it at night and by yourself. But don&#39;t be smoking any wacky &#39;herbs&#39; before hand, otherwise it might get a little too much :unsure: .

Well i got all time classics and todays greatness

Goldeneye
JLR

kept me indoors during teenage years, where i was curious of the outside world - so they kept me discleplined where i would normally be loitering, stealing, attention seeking....looking for direction.

Rugby 2006
PES
Oblivion
GTA:SA
TW2005
in no particular order, also jeopardised my employment, relationships, and health (lack of sleep and food)

These are signs of a good games....where u sacrifice needs for personal pleasure.....boys just wanna have fun right???

But only one game has brought me too injury, where i couldnt play, but wanted to really bad, coz it was soo good....it never got boring, until after 2 years

JLR - gave me a bloody blister on the tips of my thumbs (no joysticks then)...i couldnt play JLR for a day or so, and i was biting at the bit, looking for cotton buds, or any kind of solution.

I played a game over 15 years ago called Druglord. It was a dos based game that involved you having to buy and sell guess what....drugs! No graphics it was text based, does anyone remember this game?
