We bought a house about 8 months ago and the Wii is still packed away.  I can't remember the last game I played or bought for it.

I still purchase 360 games and PC games on a regular basis.

We all played a mix of games... but I think a big focus was on Unreal Tournament 3, Warcraft 3 and World of Goo.  My nephew quietly sat in the chair next to me and got in around 14 or so hours of Halo 3.  He was the only one on the xbox 360.  Overall, I think Extralife went extremely well and I look forward to next year when we can do it all over again.

Also, as far as Unreal Tournament 3 is concerned... that game is severely under appreciated.  That game is awesome!  Especially in a LAN party situation.  We played it for several hours and wondered why there aren't many people online.  It really is the only modern FPS of it's kind.  Maybe that type of shooter is just not as popular any more... but I love it.  If you enjoyed Quake, old Unreal Tournament, or even Half Life 2 Deathmatch but haven't tried UT3.. you need to.

Also...  Abaddon,  Omniknight,  Dirge + 3 mekansms and 3 arcane rings  = win.

I played World of Warcraft since launch until around April 2008... or so... just before the launch of Age of Conan.  I tried out several classes in WoW but ended up playing a Night Elf Druid.  I raided Molten Core with the homies and Zul Gurub before the launch of Burning Crusade during which I played the balance spec.  After the release of Burning Crusade, I decided to try feral and stuck with that until I quit.  I was big into PVE until I decided that I didn't want the crazy time commitments and switched my focus to PVP.  The PVP in WoW pissed me off so much in that it felt like in order to compete you had to dump hundreds of hours into battlegrounds to get enough honor to buy gear etc.  This was a huge turn off for me and I eventually just quit.  Some of the things they are doing in Wrath look interesting for PVP, but I doubt it's going to be much different... but I'll save that rant for another day.  I guess I just got bored of WoW.  Age of Conan released shortly after I quit wow and I picked it up after listening to my brother tell me how awesome it was.  It was awesome.  I enjoyed the time I put into it (around 2 months) but ultimately shelfed if for other games.  I guess it didn't have enough to keep me going.  I got one character to level 50 (out of 80) and several others in their 20s.  That leads up to WAR.  In between AoC and WAR I got caught up in several games I had missed on the xbox 360 and played a bunch of Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3.  I preordered WAR for $5 for the right to play in the open beta, knowing that the open beta would be basically the finished product.

During the WAR open beta I basically played 2 classes... the shaman and the witch elf.  I got both of them to around rank 9.  It was awesome and I liked it enough to pick up the full game on day 1.  I've been loving it ever since with the exception of some initial bugs in the beginning stemming from EAX incompatibilites that basically blue screened my computer.  The reason I chose to play a shaman over other DPS or tank classes is that while playing a bit with the witch elf in beta, I got tired of playing in scenarios and having shitty healers who thought they could DPS and neglected their primary duties.  I had never played as a healer in any MMO previous so I decided to give it a shot.  It has been great.

Last night, I finally got to participate in a keep siege for the first time.  The Barak Varr zone in the greenskin/dwarf pairing tier 2 had been captured and I joined an open party and entered the fray.  We captured both control points and headed for the keep.  The siege warfare in WAR is awesome.  It is now my favorite part of the game.  There are so many aspects to it that make is so fun, from the siege weapons and the defense mechanisms to the random crazy fighting when the other faction shows up to defend.  We ended up taking the keep and got a bunch of renown.  While there wasn't a ton of defense of the keep, I can only imagine how crazy the fighting will get when the majority of the players are at rank 40 and only PVPing.  It is something I am looking forward to and creates a goal for me to reach that point to be able to compete and fight in the crazy RVR that WAR has built.
