There isnt anything out.  I havent bought a game in a long time - in part because I have no time but primarily because the games on the shelf are all garbage.

What are you guys playing?

I'm battling thru MS Flight Simulator 2004.  It doesnt like my X-45 throttle...all the docs specifically say Sidewinder everywhere...so Im thinking this PITA game is hardwired for those controllers.

Kinda funny to have full power in the 747, climb, and the thing goes to idle.

I do, however, have short field landings mastered  :p

Silent Storm.  

Knights of the Old Republic is next on the list - already have it.  Deus Ex 2 will probably follow that.

Deus Ex:  Invisible War

Very cool.  Although the plot is neat, its nothing like the original.  I'm not finished yet, but I think I'm close.  Might want to replay the original Deus Ex for a refresher :)

still playing the original Il2 Sturmovik. Transitioning from AH to this one, it still appears as a new, innovative game.

Bought Ghost Recon Gold the other day and have it up for sale over at SimHQ. I just find that games in the FPS genre cause me to have massive headaches and nausea now so I stay away. If it isn't a flight sim or strategy game (Railroad Tycoon 3 for me and my son) I don't play them.

I just blew through Deus Ex: Invisible War. The lighting effects are awesome, but the game lacks substance, makes me wish for the original.

Finally got around to picking up Call of Duty and it's a blast so far.  Next up I'm looking at Hidden and Dangerous 2, any opinions on that game would be appreciated.

Call of Duty


Any multiplayer options in this one? and if so, is it fun? or is DoD a better option still?
