Got a favourite game, so great that you'd love to scream its name to the heavens and above? Posting it here is the next best thing.

Medieval II: Total War
A worthy follow up to their already incredible set of games. If your computer can handle the reqs, get it for it is truly a masterpiece. I have noticed only DVD Rom versions of the game and if you do not have a drive that could be an issue. I myself can not use one of my older, but nice, comps because i only have a CD Rom drive.
If anyone knows for sure, about the CD Rom version, let me know. Thanks

Hmm...my favorite game is a bit of a tough choice, since I have to choose between Okami, and Breath of Fire IV.
Okami is great because...well, the main character is a goddess empowered wolf, how can that not be cool? It's based off of a conglomrate of different Shinto legends and stories, where your character is empowered by the Goddess Amaterasu, and you have to defeat Yami, the god of darkness and chaos. The way it plays, makes me think this is Sony's take on Legend Of Zelda, as the fighting sequences go pretty much the same: Hack, slash, use some ability or other, charge attacks...the lot of it. Only unique thing about this, is you get something caled 'The Celestial Brush', which lets you use various god like powers...such as the ability to slow time, to make a bomb appear out of nothing, to call up a strong gale or tornado, and such things as that. The graphics are all cell shaded, and done in the Japanese art style, so they're not exactly high tech or realistic, but more like you're watching a really cool cartoon. There are alot of moments in the game that just make you laugh, and some that are quite sad, and alot of scenes that can really get you motivated to win. It's only fault is that the game is just too easy, even for first time players, and there's no difficulty modifications. But, there are plenty of rewards for completing the game, such as different versions of the main character to play as, new weapons and abilities, and such things as that.
Breath of Fire IV is definately one of the best games I've ever played as well, even if there are more faults to it (In my opinion), than there are in Okami. The story is about a boy who is really a dragon, and must defeat his darker half so that he does not himself become absorbed by it. The boy, Ryu, transforms into various dragon forms, though he never takes on the full dragon form, except when using its 'breath attack', otherwise he maintains his form in a semi-dragon state, which looks pretty cool. The graphics are cell shaded as well, but since it is for PS1, it's a bit more pixely, and looks like something you could play on a Gameboy Advance or something. Effects graphics are good for its day and time, but now they look pretty bad...none the less, this is a wonderful game if you like dragons and stuff.
Phew...there, my two favorite games, reviewed too. ^^

medieval 2 has gotten some serious praise. All my friends say its the shit, but I don't know if my computer can run it.
Either way, currently, I'm rockin dots on people's domes, predator style on Gears of War. I'm fucking INSANE with the sniper.

I prefer Halo 2 for Xbox.  Though... I have to say that it's been topped by Nintendogs (I'm a little immature, shut up), which has been topped by the new Super Mario for DS. So, I s'pose Mario takes the cake, in my case. |

World of Warcraft is fun...I blame Kiju for that, entirely. I'm not addicted to it like, say, Andy...but still.
