I don't really play games any more (I just seem to be unable to finish a game without getting bored or interrupted). My real gaming period started with the old aoe, then (thx to discovering linux) I switched to wesnoth which had (I remember) quite poor graphics back then! Wesnoth is (apart from 0ad) without any doubt the best open source game I've encountered. In the beginning I was unable to install aoe (1 and 2) with wine but after some time I succeeded so I went back to aoe. When aom came out I bought the game, but until now the cd has stayed uninstalled (at first I thought it didn't install because of a bug in wine, but it was a bug in the install cd!!! When I tried it years later on a windows computer, it said the cd was corrupted! I couldn't go back to the shop to ask a new one so I got a copy from a friend of mine) I never really played aom: after years of having the cd I finally had it on my computer and I never played a single game. There was a short period in which I played a lot of fps's (COD4, sauerbraten, battlefield 3, nexuiz and openArena were probably the ones I played most) Then I played aoe3 for a while with some friends, but I didn't like it as much anymore so I went on a search for some really good rts's: I crossed C&C (generals was quite nice), ee, bfme (I loved this one, but that was most of all because I love Tolkien), boswars, spring, glest (loved this game). In the end I believe the best game I ever played is still the original aoe.
I don't like making decisions so I will examine items for hours before buying something. One day some old shopkeeper in an little shop came to me and told me that in the end the first thing I had picked up would be the one I would decide was my preference (this of course only counts for art, not for electronics) and he was right. He mostly is.
I love 0AD because it is like aoe one, but with better graphics and historically more accurate.

The only game I play these days from time to time (mostly to check out the changes) is 0AD. I sometimes play with my sister of with a friend ... and I'll make sure my girlfriend installs it too once she gets back from holiday ;-)

"World of Warcraft", "Starcraft 2", "League of Legends", "FreeCiv", "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" and "Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots". Well, i stopped playing almost all due to time issues, but i always try some quick matches of 0 A.D. and League of Legends.

I got Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary a few days ago and I am loving it, and thanks to my pleasant surprise with Firefight and Anniversary Multiplayer, I now want to get Halo: Reach too.

Something in the Total War series or Mount&Blade Warband or Caesar IV or Mafia II (great cars only the shops are forgiven of robbery I avoid killing the staff) or Saints Row 2 (gang violence is better than TT and so is shop robbery) or SRTT(LA Noire only rarely as it is too restrictive, the only way to randomly kill innocent people is to drive over some of them). One of the them. Or occasionally, anything in my shortcuts list like Children of the Nile (it still looks atmospheric in spite of the Empire Earth graphics engine).
