Anyway: Quake2, Quake3, HalfLife, Tribes, Unreal Tournament, Adventure Games (mostly), the odd RPG, the odd driving game, and the very rare flight sim. Starting to get into space-sims at the moment (participating in the JumpGate Beta atm) and looking forward to a couple of MMORPG's and a couple of fps/3ps games that are on the horizon (KISS, Project IGI, Castle Wolfenstein, Halo, Anachronox, Heavy Metal)
I do *not* play CounterStrike. I may try Quake 3 Fortress and Unreal Fortress, but it's unlikely I'll get heavily in to them.
Mostly because I don't have the time...
Oh, and please, refrain from bl33ting about CounterStrike - yes, I know it r0x0rs and everything else sux0rs
Quake 3 (tho not much just recently), Tribes (even less), any online racing game if some b*******d would release a decent dedicated server for one, a fairly huge amount of Asheron's Call and a load of spg adventure/rpg games.
Oh, and im incredible pants at all RTS games. Even worse than MikeyBear tho you would obviously need supporting evidence for that.

umm, bit of Quake3 and UT, mainly instagib though coz it's nice and easy to get into a game for 10 minutes. Quake 2 when I get the chance, usually Catch the Chicken, Qpong (want the q3a version of that!) and Lithium.
Asheron's Call (Speccy is my vassal, so I've gotta keep an eye on him), though not as much as I'd like and I need to read up more on how to get the most out of it.
Racing Games - Fair bit of Rally Masters in the last few weeks, multiplayer is pretty good. A few of us have been playing on RobertJ's server, as long as you all pick the same cars you can get some nice close races. Looking forward to GP3 and Midtown Madness 2.
Flight Sims - Been playing a bit of Aces High, excellent flight sim, though often a little too accurate to the point where it can take ages to learn how to take off. Well worth it for the 8Mb ish download. Commanche is good as well.
Age of Empires (2), I can confirm that MikeyBear is pants at it .. I used to just attack him with my sheep (ok I made that bit up, but you get the point). He screams like a girl when playing it as well - I have tapes.

Embattle - yes, quite a few FPS there. But did you also notice that with the exception of Halo they're all Single Player games? I'm sure most of them (except Anachronox) will have multiplayer capability, but they're really aimed at singleplayer mode. Go read my first column from way back when where I talk about how SP FPS can be likened to Adventure/RPG games
I've played the Ground Control Demo and its a real nice game, just playing the Dogs of War Demo.
I to play AOE2 but its sad that there aren't any servers here in the UK that have any one on them . Plus being disconnected after 2 hours of hard building tends to get on me tits .
Rollercoaster Tycoon is another favourite. I used to play Trandsport Tycoon for hours and also Sim City, control freak .
Have most FPS games . The main mod I played, called Action Quake 2, for Q2. Currently playing CS, looking forward to AUT and TF2.
Its a shame I have to decided which one to play because I don't have enough time .
I read most columns and intend to read all of them, just need a couple of hours .
Update: Just read PCGAMER article on Halo and have to say......OH BOY it looks good and sounds like its going to be a great game. They're going to be putting a video-file of it on next months edition .

Despite being classed as a "suit" I do play some games, curently I'm playing;
Age of Kings
Tiberian Sun
Caesar 3
Pahraoh
I've recently finished Q3, Solider of Fortune and Half life. I tried to play Messiah but found it boring, same with Thief 2. Delta Force 2 was a really dissapointment too, it should've been a mission pack at best.
If u ever feel like fragging a Suit I occasionaly play Unreal Tournament on the BarrysWorld Instagib Servers, favourite map is Morpheus.
*sigh* once again I display the Shamblee Prowess that can only be associated with myself.... and mookie.
See! See! now I've got to edit it because I strayed from the point of the original post of mine not making any sense, and now this will make even less sense, and its all a hideous twisting shame spiral.

QuakeWorld and Quake 3
Never felt the need to play much else
SAS has managed to twist my arm into playing CounterStrike tho
DOOM3 - interesting concept so looking forward to it's outcome
Ooh, erm.. right....
Q3CTF and Q3Instagib a little. Just about given up on UT as it takes so long to load on my machine. Once I finish building my new machine, I might give it another bash.
Also working through Need For Speed 5 in single player and Rally Masters multi player (Logitech Formula Force wheel rocks!.... sorry, r0x0rs....).
I was playing planetarion but got raped back to the stoneage by those charming chaps in T6E and then the concordium so I'm currently not playing it.
Besides that I've been playing Settlers 3 recently (ta Cro) but have grown bored of it. It lacks something. Also been having a bash at AoK and Tiberian Sun (now its out on budget and I dont feel cheated in buying what is really a service pack for Red Alert).
I'm also playing the fuck-yer-life-up-seriously game too, but thats another story.
