PC Gamers: What are you currently playing?

Me, I've gone back to Hearts of Iron a WW2 strategy game. Think of it as "Axis & Allies" on steroids

This is the one game I'm waiting for: http://www.novalogic.com/games.asp?GameKey=JOTR

Looks like a great multiplayer game, 100 people per map! It should be out in May.

the best MMOL game on the planet.

Fairly decent expansion pack to DS. I can't wait for DS2--supposed to be really cool.

also reloaded Undying, play original Unreal or original UT once in a while.

Looking forward to STALKER, HL2, Doom3 and Call of Cthulu...

But I hate the advancement system. I am finding I do not like linear advancements systems. I prefer the leveling pace of oldschool D&D. New abilities unveiled. New spells available. The slow number tweak of Morrowind style just don't seem to reach me. And the magic item system suffers from the same grind. I find myself craving uniqueness in their games.

I must be slow on the learning curve because I just keep getting better. Problem is, so do the leetest of the leet. Moving shock combos are just ho-hum to everybody now, but some of these guys are just machines. No, they're not botting.

The UT2k* franchise is dead now(cause they suck). GG epic.

I have hopes for HL2, Q4, any coming (deathmatch type) fps that doesn't suck.

that's what's on my Mac

used to play it all the time.

of last year. Can't get enough. I LOVE the tightness of the mission structure. Hate the clans. But Punkbuster solves most of the clan problems.

yup, I'm one of them.

I played it once and am playing it a second time, only I've picked different tactics this time around.

The Deus Ex series is awesome, it's never the same game twice.

which still kicks ass in multiplayer despite being two years old. (And I've managed to get good enough that I keep getting accused of cheating by people I'm putting the smackdown on...haha)

I've really gotten into the whole WWII first-person shooter thing(I thought Call of Duty was a bit of a disappointment, though)...I'm really looking forward to the release of the next game in the Medal of Honor series, Pacific Assault. From previews and screenshots it's going to be beautiful.

And another game I'm looking forward to (single-player, this time) is Hitman: Contracts (first/third person shooter with stealth and disguise elements in which you control a bald, genetically engineered contract killer)...it should be quite good, from what I've seen.

Desperate for a new RPG worth its salt. I so despise the current business model that discards a winning engine. I would gladdly pay for another RPG based on the PC Balders Gate Engine in the D&D universe. Unfortunately licensing nonsense and market strategy has pretty much killed that hope.

Multiplayer whenever I get the time

Also Neverwinter Nights + expansion packs, although that game is so addicitive I've been forcing myself to play it less. When I sit down to play it I am often at it for the next 12 hours+ non-stop.

V

with the Desert Combat mod. I love flying the Apache.

I'm also playing the PC version of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. For a supposed "Game of the Year", its pretty disappointing. I don't feel that it made the conversion from console to PC very well. The combat system is kinda clunky. However I do like the d20-style system for character creation. It woulda been more fun if the interface was more like Neverwinter Nights.
