Here's a review of a number of games I've played in the last 6 months:

CRPG -
Morrowind - for all the previously mentioned reasons it's a must have for RPG guys
Neverwinter Nights - boring, played for a few days and lost interest, doesn't pull you in like BG2 does.

RTS -
Warcraft III was fun, but I lost interest fairly quickly
Hegemonia - GREAT Sci-Fi RTS game, incredible graphics and intense gameplay.
Empire Earth - Interesting game, not what I expected (I was looking for more of a Civ III type game, and it's not like that at all... it's really the next installment of the Age of Empires game)

Racing -
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 is a fun game but entirely too easy.
Microsoft Rallisport Challenge is an INCREDIBLE racing game, and it's definitely NOT easy. Only downside is a menu interface that's the worst I've seen in YEARS. (game was designed for the XBox... if all Menu systems for the XBox are this bad I'm glad I never bought one)

FPS -
Mafia - really a Racing/FPS hybrid, very good at both aspects... tons of fun and a great story to boot.
Unreal Tourney 2003 - boring, I'm totally burnt out on FPS games though so I'm not a good judge of them anymore.
Doom III - the released demo looks like it might get me back INTO fps games. [img]smile.gif[/img]

There's a bunch more but it's time for me to hit the pool...
