Fallout 3 (No fun, boring and humorless). Admittedly I'd have been happier with a redux of Fallout 1 or 2 instead of this..

Bioshock: Biggest waste of money in years. Talk about over hyped.

Warhammer Online (zZZzZzZzz)

The Witcher: I've tried and tried to get into this, even upgraded to the EE edition with the free patch... I truly don't understand all the hype. I think this is an instance where I'm just not 'getting it'.

Why are all the Top Ten racers that have Ghosts posted to the Mario Kart Wii score boards bugged out with 00:00:002 race times etc? It's hard for me to know how much butt I am kicking when all the 'top racers' have fake scores.. Are there any plans for Nintendo to fix this?

Monkey Island series
Fallout 1 & 2 (Fallout 3 was devoid of humor or feeling in general)

I've downloaded the following games off Direct2Drive and have been happy every time:
King's Bounty
Warhammer Online
Titan Quest
and a couple puzzle games

I've also downloaded a couple off Steam:
Some random HL2 episode
Portal stand alone
Darwinia

I've also used Impulse form Stardock, the makers of Galactic Civilizations to downloaded these:
GalCiv II + Expansions
Sins of a Solar Empire DEMo

I am least impressed with Stardocks download manager because it seems so slow to load and always requires a time consuming update every time I start it. Plus the selection on Impulse is very poor and the prices for the few things I *am* interest in are higher than Steam on the rare occasions I've seen the same game at both places.

So far Direct 2 Drive is best for me because I don't have to download and update some download manager that always tries to stay memory resident every time I update it like Steam. Plus Direct 2 Drive has the best selection by far for the stuff I've been looking for.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 it can be both fun and mentally stimulating. More engaging than the Sim City franchise, and more fun than the Civilization Franchise. Second Place: Fallout 1. Play it free on Gametap, I just beat it today after playing it a few weeks for the first time in years.

ve been using it for the last 30 days on a free account, specifically to play Fallout 1 as a primer for Fallout 3. The game has worked almost perfectly (I'd prefer the ability to play it in a window, but you can't do that, only fullscreen since you start the game through a client rather than an exe).

I'm about ready to play Fallout 2, which is also availible (for the gold acct, not free), so I'm deciding whether to just get a retial copy or subscribe and play other games like Betrayal at Kronder etc.

Lords of Magic, so far no other game listed here comes close to this one.

Sounds like Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee.. except that came out on PC and in 1997.
