Yeah steam is a peice of shit. It takes forever to get it working right. I would just buy the new Counterstrike Condition Zero for PC. Easier installation, fresh installation, and single player bots.

PS2: Rygar: Legendary "Adventure"

Based on a popular NES game from the 80's. the game play is very similar to Devil May Cry (but with a yo yo o death instead). This game has both an excellent sound track and level design, both of which one would expect from tecmo's team ninja (designed the beautiful DOA3 & Ninja Gidan for xbox). Game was $12 at gamestop, not a bad purchase at all.

PC: Zbattle w ZSNES (retro online gaming)
-Super Street Fighter 2
-Contra III

kicking some classic snes butt with people from around the world.

I've finally dropped MOH (too sick of the controls, they were driving me nuts)

When at gamespot I also purchased frontline for $10. Being a fan of the PC version I figured I would give it a try, but the PC version is MUCH better. The graphics, computer AI, and control’s are all substantially better on the PC side(even on my 5 year old PC), further MOHAA has online play which is very addicting.

Yay! 97% percent of GTA 3 and GTA Vice City completed. I still have to do the offroad challenges in GTA 3 and the Vigilante, Firetruck and Ambulance missions in Vice City. They're pretty hard, though, so perhaps I'll just change the car handling to make that stuff easy. I want to have fun playing my games and not get too frustrated. (I got extremely frustrated when I tried to beat Skull Monkeys on PlayStation; I eventually beat it, but getting there was horror)

RTCW - Though having compleated it twice, it is a tad dull now.

SFCIII - Moded, badly. Uhg, I miss the shear EASE of moding SFCII, so much better.

And GTA VC still.

Beat Rygar

Now playing on PS2:

SSX 3, Snowboarding
Maximo, Action (based on gouls n ghosts series)

[CaptainNuss]

I stopped playing Vice City. Now I'm trying to beat Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project. It seems that I've found a bug that will prevent me from completing the last but one level though.

[whiteflip]

I just beat Kotor as a good guy, first person in my circles to do so. I'm going back to some SCII and maybe somethin knew if something good is out. I still gotta finish up PGR2 and get RSC2

aberviations used
Knights of the old republic
Soul Calibur II
Project Gotham Racing II
Ralli Sport Challenge II

Now that I can't play Manhattan Project anymore, I installed Deus Ex and started playing that again. I had started once already and had played for about 8 hours, but then I lost my savegames.

Interesting, what's it like ? I considered buying it for cheap (PS2) but I'm not sure I'd like it. What genre is it exactly ?

My game OTM : R-Type Final, PS2, Shoot'em up

Nothing stunning technically but quite enjoyable to play

[DuaneJeffers]

Deus Ex is really interesting and rather fun. But the PC version is a bit better.

ALSO ...

I have gone from Doom III and Painkiller
to
Counter Strike: Source, PC, First Person Shooter. All I can say is O ... M ... G!

And

Tron 2.0, PC, First Person Shooter. I picked this one up again because I got tired of the dark Doom and I wanted more colors.

I played the xbox version of desu x. seemed like there was no antialiasing so it was really ugly on my friends giant hd tv. I'd go with a PC version if at all possible unless your tv is small and tube like.

Just completed Halflife and thought about installing Baldur's gate again. I never get tired of it..

It's not really a single genre. Basically, you can choose whether you'd like to play it as a 3D shooter (not as much action as you'd be accustomed to if you've played other shooters) or as stealth game (much like Thief or Splinter Cell). It has certain RPG elements too. For instance, there's a LOT of text you can read, (don't have to) like newspapers that are lying all over the places and you can interact with every character in the world, sometimes resulting in dialogs with multiple-choice answers. Another RPG element is that your character (JC Denton) is a nano-augmented agent and, as such, has about 11 or so different skills. While playing the game you earn skill points you can use to improve your skill levels, allowing you to hack computers faster (yep, you can hack computers ), be more proficient with a handgun etc.

I personally really like Deus Ex. It uses the UT 1 engine IIRC, so the graphics aren't top notch anymore, and the controls feel kinda different (hard to describe), but the story is pretty cool and the game has a really nice atmosphere. I really recommend playing it, especially when you can get it as cheap as you say.
