[July] What are you playing

[GlassJaw]

F.E.A.R. - great FPS, really great AI and great light effects
DDO - still playing, although I've slowed down somewhat

That looked dope. I have some serious doubts about running it, though. My computer is having trouble with the latest Ghost Recon.

Well ... I took a look at Elder Scrolls: Morrowind for a few days, but am having trouble with the user interface. The game looks nice, though, and the pics I've seen of Oblivion look absolutely fantastic. My video card (an nVidia 7600) could take it but my cpu (an athlon 2.6 at 333 mhz) looks to be a little slow. I'll have to wait a bit on this one.

Oblivion is mostly video card taxing. I ran it fine on a lesser computer than you have, and the game still looks amazing.

Really want to finish:

Then do it, only you can make it happen!

Stop playing new stuff, particularly sports games (they're a time sink with no real end), and focus on the old stuff. And while you're at it, stop buying new games, it only makes the problem worse, besides by the time you finish the other games the ones you put off buying will have gotten cheaper anyway, thus saving you money.

City of Heroes/Villains!

I've got about 2-3 hours in on WoW, but I can't say I'm really impressed so far. I'll probably stop once my trial is up. It's coming across as really repetitive and loot dependent.

I'm curious, in what way is WoW more repetitive than COH/COV? I found that the City games had very limited gameplay options, you can do the same 3-4 missions on the same 6-7 maps or run around and grind. Just asking because I have the complete opposite opinion and I'm interested in why you feel that way.

As for the topic I'm playing mostly WoW and some Tiger Woods golf on the PC.

Too bad there aren't any really good starfighter sims out there, I'd love to play a modern version of Tie Fighter or Wing Commander Prophecy.

Truer words have never been typed. I'm just a bad, bad gamer really. Essentially, I think I have game-ADD. I can't seem to stay focused on one game for more than a day or so unless it is unbelievably good. I don't really buy many games. I think I'm averaging less than one purchase a month which is pretty good for me.

I think I need to start a support group or something...

"Hi, I'm Matt and I can't finish my games or stop buying new ones."

Thanks Trance ... I may try it out.

It'll still take some time to get used to the interface. Never liked "1st person shooter" type interface....

But I'm more of an rp'er than a hack 'n slasher anyway, and I hear Oblivion can do both fine.

Finished up Rome: Total War at the beginning of the month. Seemed kinda easy: build a massive force, flank, flank, flank. Graphics and battles are really good and the running the empire part was always in the background.

I've been on D&D Online and really enjoying it more than EQII or WoW. Guess I like the character progression through many different adventures... say, that sounds like normal D&D!
