My three all-time favourite PC games - in no particular order

1) The one I'm playing most at the moment
2) The one I've just bought
3) The one that is soon to be released

Well my favorite 3 for the PC:

1. Distant Worlds (Series)
2. TIE Fighter
3. SimCity 4

If we go into consoles, then we have:

1. Elder Scrolls Series (I love the playtime you get with ES games, you get your money's worth)
2. Gears of War (Series)
3. Dragon Age (Series)

As you can see, I prefer 4X or simulator games for PC, but tend to like RPGs on console. There are plenty of other games that I play, but these are the ones that seem to get replayed the most for some reason (and yes I do occasionally replay the GoW solo campaigns).

My Personal Favorites

1) Advanced Tactics Gold (best random game generator of any IGOUGO game, bar none!)
2) Civilization Series (has changed a lot over the years but I still enjoy the random game experience)
3) Sudden Strike (had a blast with this game back in 2000/2001)

Honorable Mention

4) Empire Deluxe (oh the memories dating back to the early 90s)
5) Empires of Steel (Somewhat like Empire Deluxe. Fire it up on occasion.)
6) World War II Online (This came out June 2001 and nearly destroyed my marriage. Had to give it up and real time online play in general.)

These days 1 and 2 account for almost all of my gaming time. I still buy other wargames from time to time but most don't get played very long before I'm back to one of these two.

Guess I'm going to break the mold here. Only one of my top three games is a strategy game (not a wargame per se), and as much as I enjoy Matrix titles, they are far below the classics back from the day when game studios weren't afraid to get creative.

Here goes:

1. Dungeon Keeper
2. Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars
3. Myst

Civilization - from the first to the latest. Close Combat Series - especially like Cross of Iron. And last but not least and one that's getting a lot of attention is the Sim City series.
