  • I used to be much more into games than I am now. For now I'm working through a Dynasty in NCAA football (with UT of course) on the road to our 3rd NC in 5 years. And I'm also working my way through Borderlands 2. How is the new Black Ops?

  • Skyrim beats the crap out of every other game. Period.

  • I cant play as much as I used to but I do have a top 10 list of all time games. Some of these are series which have little separation so I bunch them together.

    1. Hard not to say Mario- Especially Mario 64, but the whole series
    2. Metal Gear Solid- Especially Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty.
    3. Halo- Especially The first one. Changed the first person shooter platform forever. Without Halo the Xbox would have failed, and Call of Duty would not be what it is.
    4. NCAA Football.. Have owned every edition since the PS1. Little known NCAA Football 1998.
    5. I had a Dreamcast.. probably says a lot about me. I played NBA 2k, and NBA 2k1 on the Dreamcast. Always been a 2k NBA Guy.
    6. Zelda
    7. Guitar Hero...Changed the way we think about playings. Changed traditional controls.
    8. Uncharted series
    9. God of War series
    10. Heavy Rain. I have never played anything else like it.

  • Top ten games of my life

    1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
    2. Pokemon Yellow (I'm only 20 so it's okay for me to say I spent a lot of my childhood playing this)
    3. Super Smash Bros.
    4. Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3. Fantastic stories and memorable gameplay.
    5. Skyrim. Made Dean's list the semester it came out. Wouldn't have done so if it came out sooner than it did.
    6. Halo franchise.
    7. NCAA 06-13. NCAA 06 has my heart.
    8. Star Wars: KOTOR
    9. Minecraft (recently breaking in there)
    10. NBA 2k franchise

  • Black ops 2 on ps3 is about all I play now. Can't wait for GTA5 this spring its already pre-ordered.

  • I love the Assassins Creed series. Play Skyrim and NCAA Football.

    The big game I play most is Battlefield 3. I belong to a clan of military veterams - active and inactive and that's our poison of choice. I like it more than COD because its more team oriented and more realistic. Name of our clan is BTDT. Been There Done That

    I play BF3 almost every night on PS3. Great game.

  • I am working through the Assassins Creed series. When I first started to get into the first one I was also starting a Masters program for my MBA so I had to put gaming on the shelf for a while.

    I have picked up all of the Assassins Creed games and plan on playing them in succession. I have also enjoyed Oblivion, Skyrim, Madden and NCAA football.

    If anyone likes strategy games I have heard of a game called XCOM, it is a war based strategy game made by the same people who made Civilization Revolution (which is another favorite of mine).

    Your list and mine are pretty similar. I haven't played Skyrim, although I'm considering it as I have friends who rave about it, I've just never been a huge fan of having to pick literally everything a character does/wears/says. And NCAA 06 has a special place in my heart too. It was my first football game, and in the seminal season of my dynasty, I knocked Chris Leak out of the UT-UF game in the first quarter by blitzing Kevin Simon up the gut and breaking his jaw. Only time I've ever seen a player go out on a broken jaw, but I wasn't complaining.

    And yes, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is pretty much the greatest ever.

  • I play a lot of Black Ops II and FIFA on PS3. I am curious about the boardland games?

    The kid in me wants the original Red/Blue Pokemon to come out on the iphone or ipad.

    I'm another BF3 devotee.

    I couldn't go back to CoD after I got into BF3. I think the next BF is going to be a launch title for the 720 later this year.

    Borderlands is pretty fun because of all the different guns that are in that game. It's not for everyone tho, but I haven't really seen anyone disappointed with 2 yet.

  • Xbox 360. Black Ops 2 (always have a group of us playing, mostly UT Fans). NCAA (great group of guys in it). Also FIFA (another good group of, pretty much the same guys on our Pro Clubs Team)...we're all video game junkies.

    We also just started playing BF3, it's tough.
