Not too sure about the gameplay but its background music tracks by themselves is enough reason for me to like playing them.

Agreed. This series has some of the best music I've ever heard.

Fortunately, it's easy to come across isolated loops of the music by itself. Even if you're not interested in playing, check them out because they're awesome. Here are a few of my favorites.






(I could post a million of these... Have to stop myself at some point!)

I do not play a lot, but I like Minecraft.

Apparently, Wolfenstein: The New Order doesn't support multiple GPUs. I've got quad SLI, but three of the four GPUs are just sitting there lonely. Oh, well. I suppose the original Wolfenstein 3D didn't support SLI either.

On a different note, I've been playing a lot of Kerbal Space Program over the last couple of weeks. I love it! :!) So much so, that I've even started a new thread about it here:

hahaha, nice! I played a bit of Kerbal Space Program myself but now I haven't played a game for near six months (?). I enjoy them and I used to play WoW a lot but they started taking up too much of my time. I did have a few favourites though, such as the Arkham Games (bored of them now) and Counter Strike but I started to find them a bit droll after a while. Maybe I'll try again soon... after my PhD! lol (I'm not even at university yet, to clarify)

I do not know if it counts, but lately I have been playing QuizUp using my smartphone. Taking multiple choice quizzes is surprisingly enjoyable when you are not being graded.

My favorite games are/were

Medieval Total War I & II, Empire Total War, Civilization 4, Sim City 4, Railroad Tycoon 3 & Railroads!, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3...
...and an oldie but goldie: Hidden & Dangerous II. Just lovely.
Soldiers: Heroes of World War II was also an excellent game IMO.
Hegemonia was also a space opera game I really liked.
And the two first Knights of the Old Republic were good.

I don't play games very much anymore.

EDIT: Forgot Colin McRae Rally, very fun. Me and my friend bought a computer steering wheel and gas/brake pedals just for playing this game.
