[gameprogrammer] Re: Favorite Game

I'll try my best to get HL2 (starving college student with no current job).

As for my favorite game, well, there are a bunch, but I'd have to go 
with wither Xenogears or Metal Gear Solid.  I'm a big fan of 
story/gameplay.  I don't necessarily want to feel like I AM the 
character I control, simply because it can EASILY make story elements 
very weak and impersonal.  Playing Morrowind, I really felt more like I 
was some drone sent to do things rather than having my personality react 
with them -- took the dynamics of personal relationships out of the picture.

OH!  And KotOR (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic)!!  That game was 
AMAZING!  BEST game on PC that I've ever played!  WONDERFUL!

But that's just me -- I've gathered I'm somewhat strange in my 
preferences of games, too.
