What was the last game you played?

PC - Enemy Territory
I was on Allies and we won the majority of the maps. I ticked off the Axis using mortar and killed 5 of them in one shot. Might have another game later.
It's not bad. Much more structured this time and built around a card game of paper-scissors-stone. You still play through the games to unlock the next level (and unlock the games to play on their own) but there is a boss level on each stage and a shop to buy more cards.
The games are just as manic as usual too and there are supposed to be over 200 of them...
Worth playing for the skydiving and base jumping alone, oh and the main missions are a lot of fun, just the side missions that let the side down.
Last game I played - Dead Rising. Quite enjoyable, although can't see it lasting too long.
I could use the money for Wii games or keep this and get on with the missions...
Think I'll get it completed and then trade it in for some Wii credit - got mine preordered last Friday, hopefully guaranteed a launch unit, yet they can't say just yet.
It's quite short to play through, but the fun lies in going back through multiple times to try and do the bits you'll no doubt have to ignore the first time through. I've already completed it 4 times, and I'm still looking forward to going through again to get all the survivors and stories and stuff.
Oh and then there's 10 hours in survival mode to unlock the lightsabre!
I'm a level 8 Gnome Mage, on the UK Kilrogg server. I've got some new spells and stuff, and i'm quite enjoying it. Initially I was annoyed at how far you had to walk for everything, but the distance really does add to the game. My home is now Kharanos, and i'm on my way to level 9. I have a few missions to do, so i've got things to keep me going.
What I liked about EVE Online, was the way space was rated 1.0 > 0.0, so you'd know what kind of trouble you could expect. There's no indication of that in WoW, so when I was running around killing Leper Gnomes, I wondered into some cave, and soon came across level 25 things and skill level things that just looked liked death incarnate.
I'm not sure whether or not i'd buy the game. I like it. But with BF 2142 round the corner, Company of Heroes out and Defcon to compliment, there seems like an awful lot of instant gratification games that better suit the amount I play. But still, i'm about 3 days into my trial.. and you never know. I might hit a stride at level 15-20 and absolutely love it.
But yeah... rant over, World of Warcraft. Fun.
Since my brother got his own PC he's been buying a few old PC games lately. I found it difficult at first, lots of guess work but I soon did quite well. I think I managed to get to level 10. Might try it again but last time I played till 3am.
