Nothing to play :S
Struggling to find a game I can be bothered installing really.
Installed Deus Ex earlier today, played 4hrs of it and died, forgetting that the loading screens lie when they say "Saving" and so was sent from UNATCO prison back to very start... ...that explains why its uninstalled again. Just lookin for some suggestions on fps, rpg or inbetween excluding the obvious choices: hitman3, farcry, neverwinter nights etc.

Get yourself the Ultima Collection (from somewhere) if you've got a pre:WinXP system :> Spent close to 6 months playing through all those games thoroughly, back when it was (re)released. RPG Nostalgia alert!
Get Ultma Underworld 1&2 whilst you're at it, too :> |

Delta Force : Black Hawk Down
badass game with a crackin multiplayer, kept me entertained for hrs =) tho i would still suggest NwN + its expansions if you aint finished them all, or UT2k4

SS2 needs to be updated to version 2.3 to work correctly under windows nt - the problem is bad enough under XP that there's a special builtin condition when you try and run a non-patched versiwhere XP will say "System Shock 2 won't work, i'm not bloody gonna run it", or words to that effect
runs under WINE though
