Thought you destroyed the CD [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I did. The addiction was so strong that I redownloaded it on warez and cracked it. I've recently again deleted it though because it was taking up too much homework time.

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
I won't allow myself to play WOW. I'm the kind of guy they make those "don't let this game ruin your life" disclaimers for. I have been playing some Guild Wars recently though, anyone here play? Sorry if this is a semi hijack Blarg.

It's not. We've kind of morphed it into a "So what's good out there now?" I can be ferociously addicted to pretty much anything I take up, too. [/ QUOTE ] I was told Resident Evil 4 was the greatest game ever by a friend of mine who I would trust in this subject area (big-time game player).

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
The reviews of Rise of Nations on Gamespot.com are really starting to turn my head around on this game. There's an excellent video tour of it that gives a long look at it, and it looks pretty darn good.
Civ 4 does sound good, but I don't know if I have it in me to play more 40 and 70 hour games. Apparently it's quite possible to play Rise of Nations for just an hour.

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
I've played Rise of Nations and I enjoyed it for awhile. Went the same as with other RTS for me though--become addicted and play a ton after I first buy it, learn the game, have a ton of fun. Then as I progress I start to recognize the point in the game where the build up and strategizing transitions into the rather tedious endgame where you must simply play out all the combat and hope your earlier estimations were on. After a few full games I start to break off at this transition point once I become pretty certain that I will either definitely win or definitely not win (occasionally you get a gray area game, those are more interesting). And from that point I tire of the entire game fairly quickly as the work/reward ratio gets thrown off and I'm no longer hooked.
This is probably more of an issue that I have with the genre though, not RoN specifically.

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
Sounds like. I love rubbing someone's face in the mud as I win.
I usually play RTS's by far the most online, rather than stand-alone, though. Playing a computer in general is such a huge step down from playing devious, thinking people that you might as well just be playing an entirely different game.

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
Check out some of the screenshots for Earth 2160.
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...;mode=previews Click on the picks to blow 'em up bigger. This is some beautiful looking stuff. I'm intrigued. Unfortunately, I doubtless don't have the system to run it. No idea what the gameplay is like, but damn, those machines look great.

Re: Anybody still playing WOW?
I put in an advance order for Earth 2160 with EB Games. Even if I can't play it at uber resolutions to see the full eye candy, it still looks like it could be pretty fun. Comes out in the first week of November in the U.S., but I saw a review or two from people who have gotten it in Europe, where it has already been released, and they like it. It seems to have a limited number of maps, so I ordered it early to get the bonus maps.
