Battlefield 2. Awesome online fighting/strategy game. You play as either Americans, Middle Eastern Coalition or Chinese. Get upgrades to weapons as you progress thru rank.
Battlefield 2142™ Is awesome as well. Nice graphics, good gameplay, and multiplayer online action. I usually get my but kicked playing online but it is still a good game. Look for me as "Ezekiel2517" and say hi. [see the link below for info on how to block ads in the game].
Half Life 2 kicks ass! The original
Half Life was a really good game and set the bar for games to come that few have
reached. The only thing that sucks about HL2 is the stupid "Steam" program that
comes with it and forces you to connect to the internet just to play the game.
Of course a bazillion people tried to access thier servers the first day HL2 was
released so it took a couple hours before I was able to play the game when I
bought it. All that trouble because some hacker stole a half assed beta copy of
the game which the games developer Valve claims is the reason they took an
extra year to make the game (which is bullshit).
It is still a "must have game" though.
[UPDATE: Episode One for HL2 is out and is pretty damn awesome. They are starting a new game type with "Episodes". The game continues on via episodes...]

DOOM 3 Blew out my video card!
I popped a capacitor on my Geforce4
4200ti playing that damn game! I ended up buying a GeForce 6800 oc from BFG. Which works
pretty damn good with Doom3. A lot better than my old card did thats for sure. I
am a lot happier playing Doom now. Going from low setting to high is pretty
sweet even if i'm broke now. : ) One bad thing about Doom3 is that it won't play
if you have a "cd emulator" program installed on your computer. I
disabled that and the damn thing still wouldn't play! Thank god for Game Copy World, thanks to them I was
able to replace the executable
for the program with one that wasn't so "restrictive".
Oh, by the way, the game is pretty cool. Buy it, but be prepared to have the
pants scared off of you. This game is an adreneline rush, demons popping out
everywhere and bizarre scenes that I can't even describe which can induce pants
poopitis... I am just warning you.

Halo 2 This sequel to the first Halo game on x-box is sweeet! Bungie totally rebuilt the engine for this game. It pushes the xbox to its limits very nicely. Definitely another "must have" game. Its a wonder I have any money at all...Go to Bungie's player stats page @ Bungie.net (you need to setup an account).
Download a EXCEL spread sheet to keep track of Halo2 statistics at the website for Halo 2 RSS Excel Workbook (requires EXCEL 2003 PRO).
Dead
or Alive 3 (ultimate) Awesome. "Dead or Alive 3" is a blast in the
tradition of "Mortal Kombat". Now with "Dead or Alive Ultimate" you get version
one that was only released in Japan redone using the new DOA3 game engine
(nice). You also get " DOA Ultimate 2" which totally rocks. Confused? I was a
little too. This is a new version of DOA3 basically and they throw in a redux
of the first DOA Ultimate which never made it to the states but since Tecmo made
the first DOA and this one they could do something really cool like sell
2 games for the price of one. Considering the $50 price tag of x-box games they
better do something like that.

Thier program lets you "tunnel" through your computer to the internet (broadband connection). It basically fools your xbox into thinking your on a LAN using system link.
