"Age of Empires was a gorgeous game for its time. Very complex with lots of nuances. Computer was a total bitch to play against though."

"A fun RTS for those with a mind for the historical."

"I'm still a newb, but the intensity of encounters, and various weapon combinations make for interesting play. Just don't have time between other titles to pick it up for serious play."

"Dark and twisted, and the ability to overlap spells between classes, this horror-tinged adventure kept my interest long into it's sequel's domination on battle.net."

"While missing the original's atmosphere, it was still an incredible game."

"I got lost in the game...no, quite literally, had no flipping clue what to do or where to go. I gave up during my post-purchase trial."

"An incredibly broad MMO without the constant bankroll subscription. I love it!"

Characters:

Danteus Infernii, Warrior — W/N. Originally developed as a minor messenger character, Danteus was originally intended to forever live as a spirit of Ascalon's past. But then I found a Tapestry Shard...

Jeryhn Aetrus, Paragon — P/W, with the same versatility Madrak enjoys. Battle commander that stands with the front line troops, raising spirits between barking orders. None question his loyalty to king, country, or friend.

Kaos Bloodwind, Dervish — D/N. Drawing strength from the chill of the Underworld, the incarnation of the God of Death comes to draw more souls into His waiting skeletal clutches.

Madrak Aetrus, Ranger — Primary Character, R/W. I play a variety of roles, depending on situation. I love the versatility of switching between melee and ranged combat. I've even replaced the normal warrior tanks once.

Ordrak Arakeen, Elementalist — E/N (just for flavor). Ordrak's a fire specialist, and through his hobbies has become a fine culinary expert. Roast Charr anyone?

Roric Arakeen, Monk — Mo/Me. A gentle soul, prefering to aid than attack directly, but is certainly capable of calling divine wrath. Undead foes quickly learn of his hatred of their kind.

Shin Jin Qian, Mesmer — Me/Rt out of Cantha. A lockdown specialist. Not very well developed outside of stats however.

Zul Jhien Yamagami, Assassin — A/R, poison specialist. Strikes hard on his mark, then lets the poison do most of the work. Quick, dirty, efficient, deadly.

"The first FPS I could really sink my teeth into. Great AI and horror-tinged storyline kept my interest."

"I found this game a sublime mix of Doom and Diablo. I'm enjoying it."

"The old school platform feel of this game keeps drawing me back. The game is more geared toward the social crowd, the makers hoping that all the social options will drown out the constant grind."

Characters:

JanusAetrus, — Warrior, forget level offhand. Probably my favorite character, being able to get up close and personal.

"Oh lord, I just discovered that Bungie released this incredible game series as open source! Ah, takes me back..."

"An incredible RTS game. Good story, excellent multiplayer, 3 unique, well balanced races...Starcraft set the gold standard of RTS gameplay."

"I really have fun with this one, though my skill level dwarfs many of the newer crowd with more time on their hands. I play defense whenever possible, as HW, Engie, or rarely as Sniper."

"I just discovered this little treat. For a shooter developed primarily for multiplayer, there's a depth not seen in other games of its ilk."

Characters:

Cpt_Idiocy, — I'm just out to have fun. So I'm a newb...kill me.

"This is one of those gamer golden oldies. :)"
