Rumour has it that Churchill has got an Orange box (with wheels)

Better than a soapbox!

I can't believe no-one has mentioned "Battlefield 2", it's awesome!

Hmmmm, been thinking about picking the Orange Box up actually for the extra HL2 episodes...

Do it.

You sure? OK, I will

Quakeworld was good yes, but Quake2 was complete tulip online I thought, too slow a pace. Loved Action Quake2 though, possibly the best online FPS I've ever played (although stopped playing them years a go).

Yeah, mostly played Quake2 on a LAN. With a good number of players it was pretty good - there were some awesome rocket jumps to be had on some of the maps. I loved the absolute carnage of QuakeWorld - none of this having to pepper your prey with shots, just one rocket would be enough to take out a room full

Call of Duty 4 seems to be getting a lot of praise.

Is this a fps type game ala Gears or is it strategy based?

Its a FPS, Gears is a TPS ...duh!

CoD4 has little strategy unless you play a team based game online, good game.

Orange box gets my vote too, the HL2 engine seems a little dated but its still good fun.

XBOX360 FTW woot woot!

QuakeWorld and Quake II were the best. Quake III Arena was OK for multiplayer, but single player bot-fest was a letdown over a conventional story mode.

I simply never managed to kill anything (much) in Q3 - bots waaayyy too fast. Bah! It looked wonderful, but, I agree, story/whatever was pretty linear and dull... but then I never progressed enough to see the later levels.

Where are Quake and Quake II. Quake III was crap.

Call of Duty 4.

Then after that, I'd suggest Half-Life 2 : The Orange Box.

CoD4 needs a fairly powerful spec PC to run it though.

The Orange Box is worth a go if you like First Person Shooters and I like TF2 a lot.

[Board Game Geek]

no it was a serious question, I'm in need of a quality PC game

Call of Duty 4.

Toss up between Wii Sports and Super Smash Bros Brawl

So what you're saying is Rock band is hypothetically the best party game you've played?

yes
although if someone sucks at it, it can be a pain to politely remove them from guitar duties
