Actually, I think that Halo + Halo 2 are overrated. I've barely played any first-person shooters (played Doom, Quake, Counterstrike mainly), but Halo didn't seem all that fun to me. It got quite boring easily and the multiplayer didn't improve the game much.
I admit at first that it was fun the first time, but afterwards, it just went downhill so much for me.

to each his own. Halo/Halo2 doesn't do it for everybody. Depends who you're playing with too.

for lilphatboi: You're looking for a typical dungeon crawler, eh?

I hear dungeon seige is supposed to be ok (somewhat mediocre). Also, nox, baldur's gate 2. I've seen some interesting crawlers on consoles too ... norrath, norrath 2, and dark alliance to name 3 of them.

It's a blurry line, a lot more of what would just be a typical crawl these days grows into a full blown mmorpg instead.

Sadly, Final Fantasy VIII influenced me. Not so much because of the game, but because of the graphics .. which were new and unheard of (to me), as I had never played or thought about playing an RPG before this due to the graphics of small sprites and the likes which weren't very appealing to me. Final Fantasy VIII were actual life-sized characters throughout the game, which attracted me to the whole thing.

But, because I was under the assumption all Final Fantasy games were linked, and this was VIII I opted to play other RPGs to get the feel first .. and, my first RPG was Xenogears, which was a phenomenal game. That game is golden. That RPG set the pedastal to search and play other RPGs like it. Final Fantasy VIII definitely wasn't it. But, since I had never played the highly acclaimed VII (still haven't, really) .. I enjoyed it. After playing IX and FFX, I joined the ranks of others and can see where it fell short.

Complish8, I've played CHampions of Norrath and those are the games I'm looking for. But do you know any like that on the computeR?

Sonic the Hedgehog Series: Made me a SEGA fan and a Sonic fan even if they are not properly using the license now. Also caused me to have a craving for fast-paced games.

Threads of Fate: Not sure how well known it is, but it made me a permanent Square fan forever cause it was an RPG with an entertaining story and colorful characters that was still fast-paced and caused me to get back onto the RPG scene.

Counter-Strike: Taught me that online FPS's are not nice places and that there is a limit between playing videogames for fun and making them your life.

Halo 2: Caused me to truly hate playing with little kids online.

he mentioned baldur's gate which is on the computer, also try neverwinternights. I'm not sure if it's a baldur's gate spin off but it's definately an AD&D campaign.
