Conduit 2 baby!
Oh and Age of Mythologies (always a classic)

[powershot]

My dad plays that.

My selection of preferred games are:

Wesnoth - considering the possibility of trying to do my own campaign
StarCraft2 (sometimes) - beat it, now I'm just going back to get the medals I missed
Fallout: New Vegas - This one will suck you in and take away hours without you realizing it
Romance of the Three Kingdoms (pick 'em) - It's VERY similar to Wesnoth in playstyle
Lensmoor - Been sucked into this MUD since 1999...and it will probably never let go

I'm playing Resident Evil 5 at the moment and I'm a bit disappointed. I'm not sure when exactly, but the concept of "horror" changed drastically, both in video games and in movies. Now, "horrors" aren't meant to scare, they are a simple and mindless massacre.
Recently, the only game that actually was scary was Doom 3 - monsters were showing up rarely, building up a tense atmosphere of fear and loneliness. In RE5, zombies are everywhere, their heads explode, guts are all over the place etc. And most importantly, you are not alone - you meet many soldiers, helicopters and trucks. I remember early Resident Evils, in which you had a heart attack almost every time you encountered a monster. I really don't understand why "horror" games developers think that the more blood, the better.

You're after (specifically) "survival horror". This genre is on the decline. We're getting a lot of FPS's+zombies lately in their place.

I've just started to get back into Battle for Wesnoth, if only I didn't suck at the multilplayer! The Humble Indie Bundle has also been taking up a lot of my time; especially Atom Zombie Smasher and VVVVV. Finally I've been playing competitive Team Fortress 2 for around 2 and a half years now.

We're getting a lot of FPS's+zombies lately in their place.

They seem to have been on the uprise since Left 4 Dead 2 really. Lots of developers are jumping on the bandwagon I suspect.

Have you tried Amnesia: The Dark Descent ?
If you haven't, I recommend everyone give it a shot.

Playing Mass Effect 2 right now. My favorite mainline RPG currently, though I'm sad that it's going more of the FPS road than the RPG one. Finally bought both ME1 & 2 for PC so I could create continuity for my character in ME3. The default choices are lame.

Spoiler:

I want the Rachni back!

[averyimaginativename]

I tried Fallout New Vegas...but now I need to take a bath in bleach. God, I miss Black Isle.

So I'm left with Wesnoth, and Infectonator

Rome Total War. Don't ask me why.

I'd ask why NOT? Superb game, even if the computer is too easy to annihilate in Battles.

I started playing a MMORPG called Legend:Legacy of the Dragon a few months.
