Not just MMOs, but games you're playing online. Give the game name & system it's for, please.
Lately I've been playing Pirates of the Burning Sea (PC) with some friends I made in City of Heroes (also PC), but we're all heading over to Warhammer Online (again, PC) now. PotBS is great and all, but the time commitment necessary just for daily play is frustrating as hell. The PvP is exciting and different, which is a major plus, but it's also sparce for most of the day, which sucks major ass. So, we're going to Warhammer to break skulls.
Also I've been playing Rome: Total War (PC, yet again) with my girlfriend and some of her friends. She is kind of miffed though - she hasn't beaten me yet. Mostly it's because she loves playing as the Greek Cities with lots of Spartans, and I know how to counter them.
I just finished another round of Titan Quest with some old buddies, uninstalled it this morning. It is definitely a good game, but after a while it's just monotonous. Still, worthwhile game to play - and you can't beat the $20 price tag for the Gold Edition.
Howbowchoo?

Online? Last game I played online was Left 4 Dead on my 360. I have NHL 09 too, me and Blaze want to get a game started on that one day. I hope the Ghostbusters game is online.

I used to play City of Heroes/Villains as well, but that's the only online gaming I've ever done, and I haven't even played it regularly in years.

CoH and CoV are fun as hell to me. Have those games, but haven't played them in ages. I also have World of Warcraft, Age of Conan and the first Guild Wars. I also have Tabula Rasa but that one is dead now, I actually liked that one to. It did a good job of making you feel like you were in a Sci-Fi warzone, what with the drop ships randomly coming in with enemy soldiers and towns being captured and re-captured by you and the enemy.

CoH and CoV were great, but after a while they just get repetitive, unless you've got a bunch of friends to team up with. After getting my hero to lvl 50 and getting my villain to lvl 30ish, I just got tired of it.

That's what happened with me to Emoticon.

For a while there, I had a pretty good partnership worked out on CoH. I met a girl on there who used a healing-based character, which worked well with my Scrapper, so she and I worked together a lot. But, then I did something stupid, and she did something kinda mean, and I haven't been able to really get into it since.
I've heard that Marvel is making their own version of the game, though, so I might get into that if and when they do.

The Marvel game has been canceled dude, but the DC one is still in full effect from what I know.

Yeah, the DC Universe one looks frickin fantastic. As for CoH/V, there was little to no PvP, and I need that in a game. I was in the #4 SG on Freedom, "Dark Fallen". TFs every night, usually 2-3 of them.... but the game got old.
DCUO looks frickin' sweet. How sweet? Let's say you're playing with a couple friends and you run across some villains. You freeze a villain into a block of ice with your frost blast, your super-strong pal picks him up and flings the frozen foe into his flock of friends forcefully flattening fem - er, them. Cars? Weaponize. Light poles? Weaponize. Computers? Desks? Street signs? Weaponize.

I'm gonna make Deadpool run some havoc in DC! Or probably because they won't allow that name "Pool 'O Death" will have to do.  |

There were PvP areas set up last time I played CoH/V, and they've probably added more since then. I remember hearing that they even set up a zone where heroes and villains had to work together, which sounded pretty cool.

Used to play Castle Crashers and UNO a lot on XBLA. Always a good time. Should go for it again soon.

Castle Crashers is great, old-school, side scrolling beat-em-up fun.

I remember hearing that they even set up a zone where heroes and villains had to work together, which sounded pretty cool. There are PvP zones and arenas, the main problems are that a) Very few people play in very large zones - and those are the only zones there are. b) Very large archetype imbalances c) The only fun PvP they had, Base Raids, they disabled for no good reason d) Issue 13 pretty much reworked their entire PvP-state, and by 'reworked' I mean "gutted and shat on". Oh, got Warhammer Online today, installed it, played it for a while while I was dictating s***. Multitasking! Multitasking is great. The only downside to it is that I tend to curse while gaming. So the article goes something like, "...the ESRB rating system helps parents f*** choose which games they DIE, MOTHERf***ER purchase for their children...." And I have to go back and edit it later. |

For a while I was playing Age of Empires III and Empire Total War, but I've lost interest in the former and lost interest in multiplayer for the latter.

The time cards are a bitch to find. You can get a trial for Pirates of the Burning Sea at www.burningsea.com . If you like pirates and that sort of thing, give it a go. It really is a good game, I just got sick of the crap around it. I sent out the 'I'm leaving the game' letter today, one of my friends came into Ventrilo and cried  Trying to get her to join up in Warhammer. |

Hey, if you're a R:TW fan, you should consider Medieval 2: TW. I think it's probably the best game of the TW series and it's got some really incredible, professional-quality mods that make it extremely replayable.

Problem with that is funds - I just can't afford to upgrade my PC to be able to play it effectively. I mean yeah, I could probably run it on minimal settings - but part of the fun is having MASSIVE armies clashing, know what I mean?
I still think they need to revisit the Shogun: Total War game, give it a makeover. That was badass.
