I'm playing Oblivion too. My computer (my brother built it last summer) can only run it smoothly at about medium graphics, but that's ok. I felt the art style was very bland, and the gameplay somewhat overrated. Still, it's enjoyable and I plan to download some mods when I'm done with the game.
EDIT: Also, I recommend giving Tomb Raider Legend a try since it's like, $10 for a new copy on Amazon and probably even cheaper on ebay. I downloaded it from GameTap (took 20 hours on DSL!), since it's one of the free-to-play games right now. It was a pretty fantastic puzzle/platformer similar to Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Not to mention it had great voiceovers and atmostphere (almost like a crossover between Bond and Indiana Jones). I was never a fan of the older Tomb Raiders, but overall Legend was a very enjoyable game.

Um...I play a lot of Katamari. On my PS2. Yes.

DaBang, look at the link in my sig. You go to the forums and you'll find that they are making a new Star Wars game based on the Freespace 2 engine.
The reason why they did it? Simple, the Freespace 2 Engine was simply the best out of all space sims. Including Tie fighter.

1. Halflife: Source isn't any more impressive than halflife in its original form. It may not be out for a while, but Black Mesa Source will truly be the most impressive reimagining of the original Halflife with the Source engine.
2. Steam has turned into a fantastic content provider, especially lately. Have you checked out the games that are available? It may have had a rocky start but that was years ago. It's coming into its own and it works really well.

I thought about getting the Ultra Jam Packed Edition of Half-Life 2, but I decided to save the ten dollars. (Not like ten dollars really does me much good.) But I thought, am I going to be playing Counterstrike any time soon, really?
Since the door is open: that first new Prince of Persia was so good, but why so short?

I don't know about anyone else but I'm really looking forward to HL2:ep2. Not so much for the game (which looks really good) as for "Portal" that's being bundled with it. If you don't know what I'm talking about check out the trailer on youtube, it looks like an hysterically fun game.

I am anticipating the Team Fortress 2 game. I was a huge TFC fan back in the day(as Charles also knows). The game looks like a true winner, taking all that was fun about TFC and expanding it.

QFT!
I loved TFC. The best character was the spy/scout. Playing dead then knifing someone in the back was the most fun I've ever had in a video game. And that assasination gametype was pretty neat. Although your defenders always fucked off and left you to kill everyone with your umbrella. Still good fun though. Can't wait for TFC2.

TF2? What the hell? That's almost been in development as long as Duke Nukem Forever.
I bought a Mac specifically to stop playing computer games as I don't have a great deal of time for them right now. However, Portal may convince me to spend all my savings on a shiny new PC. But that means getting Vista these days. On second thoughts, I'll just go and buy a Wii and distract myself with Wii-sports.

Nope. Well, at least not in the shops. If like me you already own HL2 & Episode 1 then the only way to avoid doubling up is to buy the new stuff individually through Steam. Personally I'd prefer to have it on disc.
Speaking of portal, check this out. Type "login", pick you own username and type "portal" as the password. from there there's lots to explore. But remember that the cake is a lie.

Holy crap, Portal looks awesome. And Reverend, once I type in portal, what I do I type in after. I'm not exactly experienced with DOS
