I really want to get Bioshock. I played through the demo and it's fantastic.

Bioshock is great.

I've never really been a fan of FPS games but BF1 Desert Combat and BF2 have always been favourites of mine. I've spent a large portion of my life playing DC with mates.

What you said about shooters being all macho-marines is very correct and puts me off the genre on the whole, maybe i've been playing too much Nintendo but i ask for a bit more charm and uniqueness than that.

Ever played Postal 2? Technically not the best but it's a laugh.

Postal is fun as well - have you ever played multiplayer with low gravity settings?

To this day, Desert Combat is still my favourite mod for any game. I'm hoping that when Black Mesa comes out it'll knock it out of place, but until that comes out, DC is still up there.

Hehe yeah, i'm glad they didn't tone down the stupid amounts of gore for multiplayer as well. Anti gravity reminds me, i do have a soft spot for Unreal Tournament too.

BF2 is a fave of mine as well.
I recently downloaded the AIX 2.0 singleplayer mod, and it's such an improvement over the original game. More vehicles, jets, choppers, weapons, capabilities, maps.. The AI is overhauled so well, you'd think you were playing against real people.
I think you can use the mod on private servers with your friends, but you obviously won't have it on ranked servers.

I played Crysis not too long ago and was pretty impressed. I didn't like how short the game was, but there's some awesome gameplay dynamics in that game. The graphics are amazing as well.
