Ok everyone, here it is:
If you haven't played Portal, go get it NOW.

Seriously. Portal is awesome. GLaDOS is the best character in any game ever. I've never laughed and cried so hard in a game and I doubt I ever will again.

Warning: Valve are a bunch of fuckups and for some people apparently there are no voices in Portal. Well guess what, that RUINS the game. So make sure you have voices working when you play.

Episode 2 is good also. The new physics stuff and characters (Griggs and Sheckley for ex.) are the win.

Apparently a lot of people are enjoying TF2 also but I haven't played it much yet.

Anyone else want to chime in?

I has it! I'm going home at the weekend to the computer that can play it rather than on the uni laptop (this) which will break, unless running at like DX8. Even then it cries a bit. See these intel chipsets?

Good thing I got this rather than a good gaming laptop, otherwise I'd spend too much time playing... well... all five games. And Peggle

GLaDOS is genius too: "The agency regrets that this next test is impossible. You might as well give up" Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

My friend is letting me use his steam account. Or rather his friend is.

I'm playing episode 2 right now, and MAN. TOTAL AWESOMENESS. If you jump high enough you'll hurt your ankles when you land.

Thank God for exchange rates... I got it really cheap at about £6 a game, excluding Peggle 'Extreme' :D and Lost Coast. Which, apparently, are free, if you buy TOB. Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

TF2 takes up a lot of my time... Spies are awesome. Also I hadn't been running the motion blur before but I saw it running on a friend's card and it looks really nice... Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

:/ yeah... soldiers are a real bitch for that too.

You and another engineer spend ages making sentries, dispensers etc then four rockets later there's nothing but some scrap metal.

I almost cry, sometimes ;)

Medic heavy combos are satisfying too. Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....

One day I made a real physical exercise performance and walked to the store. Orange Box looked so delicious on the shelf that I had to buy that

Back home I tried team fortress, and holy crap how addictive it is! Few hours I spent playing only 2fort for start Eating in the name of McDiddy's.

I like to think that they're all different. Single player shooter, online shooter and mind-bending, totally lovely awesomeness.

Having near-infinite categories is how I justify having no favorite games, like at all. Everyone stares when you walk in the room, they stare when you go....
