Question of the Week
What is your favorite non-mmo game to play online?
From Twitter
- Llanion – Altitude, a non-massive but definitely online multiplayer 2d plane shooter.
- Wowdominia – Favorite non-MMOs are Fish Wrangler, Cafe World, Petville, and Treasure Isle.
- Runycat - At the moment? Borderlands.
- GettingWorse – QoTW, at this moment, it’s super street fighter 4. Give me more ranked points!!!!!
- Ndiayne – hmm, I guess technically LoRD is a sort of mmo. Hmmm… zuma
- NinthBatter – probably still Halo for me, easy to pick up and there’s always a game (although left 4 dead is a close 2nd)
- Quietambition – Team Fortress 2!!!
- etni – WebRisk! Still in Beta, only a few playing, but it’s tons of fun! http://www.iohelix.net/webrisk/
- tig – hands down Day of Defeat:Source on steam
From Forums
- Achloryn – I would have to say Diablo 2 or Command and Conquer were some of my favorites. I don’t know that I could pick between them (even though I was horrible at playing against others).
As a side note: I think it was Mike mentioned Axis and Allies as his favorite board game on last week’s podcast… Is it even possible to FINISH that game? I loved playing it when I was a kid, but I swear it took even longer to complete than Risk did. - Jitterbug – Do console games count? If so, I’d say Call of Duty Modern Warfare (the original, not the 2nd.)
