LotRO. WoW is really just and inferior AC2 clone with worse graphics and a community of maladjusted miscreants that makes a high security prison ward look like preschool. WoW also has an endless grind (farm this farm that; are we having fun yet?) and probably the world's worst written quests. Is there even a storyline in WoW? I never noticed one. I guess Blizzard forgot about the RPG part of the MMORPG equation. Simply said, WoW is quite possibly the most over-rated game of all time.
I quit WoW after the free month expired but I've been playing LotRO since early beta and I am still enjoying it. The best thing I can say about WoW is that it keeps most of the sociopaths in one place so that the rest of the MMORPG gene pool is relatively pollution free.

WoW never had a free month of game time...
Ummm, yes it did. o_O
-wildflorwer-, you can't possibly see what WoW has to offer in just a month. I bet you didn't even give it a chance. Btw, ALL MMO's are a grind to some extent.The quests in WoW did make a little story. If you actually took the time to read them you wouldn't have made yourself look like an idiot and say there wasn't a story.
I like WoW. It's alot more fun when you go through the game with a friend. Playing solo sucks but sometimes that's your only option. It takes a little while for the game to get going. Don't judge the game on your first 10 levels. It get's alot of fun once you start doing instances and once you start to know your class. If all you do is grind, then yeah, you're making the game boring for yourself. Try to quest, do instances and group with players.
Imo, the most realistic game I've ever played has to be Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45.
Unless you stick with your squad, you're dead. There is no run-n-gun, there is no going solo, there's no crosshair, your gun is never centered on screen, weapons reload about x2 times slower than they do in other FPS's, it takes 2 or more to operate a tank. When you're under fire, it really feels like it. I can go on and on about this game and it's amazing attention to detail and realism. It's also great because it keeps out the CS fanboys. :P
Same here. I hardly play games anymore. I guess I'm just bored of them. I see people with 1000 hours of BF2 on Xfire and I ask myself, "How the hell can you play the same thing for so long?!"
I usually play badminton every Saturday for about 2 hours and play tennis with friends when it's nice outside.
Half Life 2 doesn't require much power and it'll still look good. Battlefield 1942 should also run well and it's a fun game that should last you a while. It's still popular.
