I'm a huge fan. I have three main hobbies when I'm not being a father or a husband and they are well detailing (duh), working out/lifting and playing my XBOX 360. I've been into games since Atari 2600 and had every system under the sun. I'm on my second 360 and I love the system. I own the Elite model. Currently addicted to GTA4! I only play if I'm lucky for 30 minutes a day so I'll be playing GTA4 for a month or longer. I'm like a big ass kid and I think I'll still be playing games when I'm 50+.
The only game I like is Age of Empires! All other games, well, I seem to lose interest after playing for about 15 minutes.
i used to be addicted to call of duty series but i havnt been on for months. Im about to pick madden up today
COD4 is the shiat! One of the most intense military games I've yet to play. Its non stop in your face action.
I play a bit with my PS3. Picked up GTA4 when it came out. I seem to play in waves, I'll be hooked for a few hours a night for a couple weeks and then not play at all for a few months. I love war games. I think there was a Battlefield game coming out that I wanted to check out. I'll have to pick that up if it's out.
Doubt anyone else plays these but I've been a big fan of Operation Flashpoint as well as Armed Assault for PC. There's a helluva learning curve in those games compared to others but I dig the realism. BlueZero- The game you're thinking of is Battlefield: Bad Company.

Thanks for the link Charlies and for helping me spend $60! lol Looks fun! I've been doing a bit of house cleaning / upgrading on the ol PC maybe after that I'll check out the other games you mentioned.
LOL, I have a nack for helping other people spend money . I'll be honest, the first couple of outings with Operation Flashpoint were some of the most frustrating times I've had playing games but once you get over the learning curve it's alot of fun. I still play it 7 years later. ARMA (Armed Assault) is a bit rough around the edges, the studio developing the game broke away from its publisher or something like that midway through making the game so they lost a good chunk of financial support. I know there are Youtube videos showing gameplay and the mod community is a big part of this game (as it is with OFP) which adds to the replay value.
I have never really been a huge video game player but i enjoyed the hell out of 007 on Nintendo 64 (haha) when i was a lot younger....i need to get back into playing them!
Its fun man and huge break from reality for me anyway. I find it relaxing and calming. When I train or detail theres a physical aspect to it that makes is not relaxing but more of a general stress relief.
Own a 360, thinkin of gettin a PS3 at some point so I can have a Blu-ray player. Right now I'm back to playing lots of Forza2.
