I used to have Alpha Centuri, but it kept crashing at exactly 40 mins into the game. Patches never fixed it, so i sold it.
There! Ya happy? I talked about something else! (On a side note, best not ask a Scot about the weather...it's never good!)

If you liked Alpha Centauri, you might want to check out Space Rangers 2, a really odd game that is sort of a combination of games. It has 3D RTS combat, 2D turn-based space combat, 2D travel and even text-adventures as part of the overall experience, and offers a huge amount of depth of gameplay. Worth checking out.
need for speed most wanted is a great arcade car game, but im still a half life 2 fan, and ill never pass up a quick run at F.E.A.R multi
Manic Miner!!:D
God I've shown Me age there aye.. Any of the GTA series right the way back to the first top downs. Freelancer was ace too.
if your really into online gameing and FPS Battlefield 2 is excelent. it has aspects of flight simulator jets and helicopters. land vehicals as well such as tanks jeeps apc's. they even have boats that you can drive arround in. and if you just like the old shool fps then go on foot.
for RTS i would have to recommend Rome total war. it has political/ financial things to do, population management. 2d stratagy map and you can drop down into a 3d battle map if you want to manage the battle your self.
if your into fps you should play the thief series. even though they are old it will help you in playing any other fps game. it will teach you to use misdirectioin and stealth to defeat your opponants.
Anyone remember a game called Machines? Way ahead of it's time.
Even by today's standards, it has lots of features that can still only be found in that game.

I would have to say Fallout 2 (Haha! Different game entirely!) for a game with tons of replay value that I can play endlessly. I play tons of games, but I always come back to good old Fallout 2. (Oh, and I'm still going to make my G.E.C.K. computer! I've been buying tools with what little money I have extra and will be starting again when the weather clears up!)
I just got used copies of Shadow of the Colossus and Psychonauts for the PS2. Both are great. Shadow of the Colossus is a must-play, in my opinion. I've never seen anything like it, and it is absolutely incredible.
It is good isn't it :) I just sat my mate down and made him play it. Needless to say i had to get some wire to hold his jaw up for the journey home.

I remember the good ole' days of Wing Commander III, finally getting my hands on an Excalibur..(sigh).
