Her sense of humour without a doubt. As silly and pitch black as mine :-P Her obsession with movies, meaning she has a frighteningly large collection that I can benefit from :-D

It'll be Empire: Total War for me

Severance: Blade of Darkness Very gory fantasy tactical hack and slash game. Its graphics were absolutely gorgeous for its time. I picked it up randomly because it was cheap and I thought the screenshots on the back of the box looked neat. Dismembering enemies after I had killed them was a...

Medieval 2: Total War : Elephants with cannons Company of Heroes: Walking Stuka barrage! KotOR II: Obscure ending ahoy! Prey: Writers on crack Starcraft: Construct additional pylons!

I bought the full version in a moment of sheer irrational impulse. It's enjoyable but of course not very deep. Not sure if I think the price was fair, but the game has kept me entertained on a boring Sunday.

My appreciation came when I started playing AD&D 2nd edition in its pen and paper version. Then I really started loving the game. It does take a lot of time to get into and is generally very different from modern RPGs, which are (sometimes) more intuitive and easier to play. It isn't a game I...

I played a game of CoD 4 where I in sheer random panic threw a grenade in the general direction of the enemy... it flew through an open window into a small building and got me 6 kills at once. Apparently they'd been building a camp in there... Also, a few times in the Total War games when the...

Yay for Steam.

You know, I am glad that someone mentions the QFG games, I really loved those! Not everyone liked number 5, but I found it really immersive. A series that really springs to mind is the Total War-series that keeps innovating itself and is still going strong in my opinion. And the Disciples...

Damn I loved that game, awesome strategy there :-D In an older game, Dungeon Keeper, on the very last level one of my enemies had some level 10 vampires that repeatedly teleported into my dungeon... and for some reason they always teleported to the same location. So I built a prison there...

AI in Dark Crusade don't have unlimited resources.. however, at higher difficulty ratings they'll start getting resources faster etc. which is the main problem. Their building patterns and choice of units is usually predictable. As for CoH AI, don't get me started... Those pumas are just...

I only kept playing for a good while because it was a nice way to chill with some friends, and because I sort of enjoyed the levelling process due to a lot of funny references in quests and some areas of the game looking beautiful in spite of a horribly outdated graphics engine. My enthusiasm...

Lilarcor the talking sword from Baldur's Gate 2, no doubt.

Even though I'm a fan of The Witcher, I agree with Viciousmaniac ... I look through all the dodgy parts of many RPGs because I enjoy the rest of it, and I guess it's because I've grown too used to it all. I don't really like people who claim they're better for enduring uintuitive interfaces and...

It seems like The Witcher is a game people either love or hate.. I've not seen a whole lot of people take the middle ground. Personally I love it, even if the female models in the game make you question the quality of the developers' sex life if they couldn't complete the production without...
