My husband loves WoW as well. If that's the kind of game you really like, I don't have any suggestions, but some others will.
I like games like the Zeldas, and puzzle games like Tetris, and I've been playing Zoo Tycoon 2 for the past couple of months and it's really fun. Also, the Guitar Hero franchise is a lot of fun.

I don't understand the vast fascination with Warcraft, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I didn't either until I started playing. It is well developed, starts you off easy and the progression to more skilled is well paced. It looks "heathen role playing" at first looks horrible but it is much more about problem solving, puzzles, team work than role playing, and the art is good looking (I want a house on Loch Modan, minus the huge spiders and pesky buzzards) the music is wonderful. There is also a great sense of humor and lots of jokes if you keep your eyes open for it.
Also, there is the social aspect. I play with family members and online friends from differant parts of the country or even other countries. We might not be able to get together in their home but we can get together in this virtual world. That is the best part.

I'm still working my way through Bioshock; haven't played in a couple weeks, though.
I pull out Hitman: Blood Money when I'm just feeling like shooting things.

I love to play FIFA Manager 07. It is an european football (soccer) manager game.
This game is really amazing. You buy your team together, train them and shape a team. I am really addicted to it and can't wait to win all the possible titles in the world of soccer.
The rest I am playing on Nintendo Wii, the three greatest games I have played on it are:
- Resident Evil 4 (nothing for kids)
- The Bigs (awesome baseball game. I enjoy it although I hadn't known the rules of baseball before)
- The Simpsons Game (a very funny game, not everyone loves it)

I have an Xbox 360. I usually like to play Call of Duty 4, Gears of War, or Madden 2008. As for computer games, I like Scrabble quite a bit, that's pretty fun to play, if you have more people than just yourself playing.

I've been playing CoD4 and Rock Band alot lately.
As far as comp games go, I've never gotten into World of Warcraft. When it comes to MMORPG's I don't play much. I prefer 1st person shooters. I killed computers playing Day of Defeat on them back in college.
And as far as strategy goes, I'm an Age of Empires kinda guy.

I'm addicted to sim-racing on the PC.
I've been playing lots of Rock Band and GH3 on the PS3. Tomorrow I'll be locked on GTA4, I absolutely LOVE playing that series. I guess it's just a good way to release all those things you would not and could not ever do in real life. lol

O.K> got stuck in Best Buys for awhile and tryed Guitar Hero... you guys can have it! I see the appeal but it is not worth the learning curve for me. I really wanted to pass the time playing games on the demo computers but they have taken them off. Drat

For PC, I enjoyed playing Neverwinter Nights, which is good RPG, not quite MMO, but still large multiplayer elements. For Xbox (original) I loved Fable and Sudeki, which were very fun Action RPG's, as well as Jade Empire and KOTOR.
I haven't really played anything on the Xbox360 RPG wise, though I liked Eternal Sonata, and have played the demo for Blue Dragon (which is very reminiscent of Final Fantasy). On my GBA I'm playing Golden Sun, which is just fun.
Normally, you can find me playing Call of Duty 4, or maybe some Lego Star Wars. And my Gamertag is Bluraven79 if anyone wants to add me.

We got it over the weekend. It's pretty good, especially if you've got a bunch of people over.
