I have been gaming my entire life. I played the original NES growing up, discovered MMOs in the form of MUDs in the early 1990s, and have subsequently played every game that ever got above an 8 rating in any credible gamer mag. But for the last two years of my life, I have been addicted to, and have played only, one game. This game is an HL2 mod called "Empires". Because it is a mod, the development team could do some pretty risky things, and have created a fascinating blend of first person shooter and real time strategy. It is simply the best, most engaging, hardest game I have ever played. Trailer on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zis1qmlHdtk Official site: http://www.empiresmod.com/
