    I'm different from most people. While I do like RPGs, I don't play too many of them. I prefer games that I can play for a long time, even years. I prefer games that allow me to be creative. I prefer games that allow me to design and build stuff.

    RPGs
    Ultima series
    The Elder Scrolls series
    Mass Effect series
    Bioshock series
    Dragon Age series
    Baldur's Gate
    Neverwinter

    MMORPGs
    EverQuest
    Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
    City of Heroes
    Dungeons and Dragons Online
    Star Trek Online

    Simulation/Creative/Design Games
    SimCity series
    Civilization series
    Galactic Civilizations series
    Cities: Skylines
    Age of Empires
    The Sims
    Minecraft
    Robocraft
    Prison Architect

    Really not much of a gamer but my favourites are easily named:

    Deus Ex
    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    The Nameless Mod
    (quite brilliant DX mod)
    Half-Life

    There are a lot of other DX mods I like; what sets TNM apart is that it has original voice acting and some terrific original music. And parts of it are just hilarious. (I can't recommend it highly enough to fans of original DX, basically.)

    There's a number of other games I liked but haven't played in years (Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Elite Force) or liked but not as much as the original (HL: Opposing Force and Blue Shift, both of which I ought to fire up again one of these days). I just don't have the time to get into anything new any more (though I imagine I'll make some for the forthcoming DX: Mankind Divided), so I go with what I know when I'm in a gaming mood.

    But is it good?

    I rather like the very first one. Never got the chance to play the follow up game. But Can't seem to get that sucker working in Win 10.


    Also would love to know where one can still buy either. My disk is badly scratched

    I'm mostly an RPG fan nowadays (more the bioware ones personally) but over the years, it's been FPS's, Strategy or flight sims. The Wing Commander series also tended to be a must buy at the time.

    I still regularly play all the Mass Effect, Kotor and Dragon Age series, Jedi Academy and some of the Tomb Raider games. I also chuck on Unreal and Left for Dead on occasion. I haven't played a proper flight sim in a few years though

    Overall, the current favourite would be the Mass Effect series.

    Despite what I'm about to write, I'm not a huge console or PC gamer :D
    ST Bridge Commander (PC) - still my favourite Trek game
    ST Elite Force (PC) - but more for the Virtual Voyager and TOS Starbase 11 mods. Fantastic to walk around.
    CoD
    GTA
    Rainbow Six
    GRAW
    Splinter Cell
    and then in complete contrast:
    Ico
    Flower
    Journey

    After all the games I've played, on all the consoles, good old Nintendo still makes the best Zelda games. No other series gets me excited quite like The Legend of Zelda. I've bought Nintendo consoles just to play Zelda (The Wind Waker remake is what prompted me to purchase a Wii U.)

    I wish I could say the same for the Mario franchise, but Nintendo seems to have lost its way. Mario 64 is probably my favourite game ever, but NIntendo's never reached that level since. While the recent 2D games are okay, they don't hold a candle to the majesty and wonder Mario 64 offered.

    Mass Effect and Uncharted would get my vote for newer generation series'. Maybe Kingdom Hearts to a lesser extent.

    I didn't own many games for it but the handful I did I really liked. Particularly Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Goldeneye. And while I've never been huge into Zelda that Ocarina Of Time game was pretty cool.
