Re: OT: Games worth buying
Personally, my favourite game to date was The Longest Journey. Not sure how well a non-violent adventure game would fit in with Renegade's preference for action/strategy, but it's a bloody brilliant game. The sequel, Dreamfall is due out at some point. Website says Fall 2005, but that's come and gone...
Otherwise, my time's currently divided between the SE5 beta & World of Warcraft, with occasional bouts of AOE3 and Civ4 thrown in for good measure. Anyone know of a game similar to Star Control 2? Downloaded The Ur-Quon Masters and beat it in a couple hours. I played that game to death when it first came out, and can almost play it blindfolded.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
Weird Worlds is *somewhat* similar to Star Control 2...

And when Puke gets Carrier Battles mod ported over to Wierd worlds, it will rock.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
I've been enjoying doses of Weird Worlds and like the quickness of games when I don't have much time to goof off.

I'm open to (pretty much) any suggestions.  
Thanks for all the suggestions so far everyone, there's definitely a few that I'll be looking into when I have the time again (next weekend). More suggestions are always welcome of course.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
Elder Scrolls: IV has about the same release schedule as SEV. I'm delaying my Christmass presents to get them.
www.elderscrolls.com
And if you can snag it off e-bay, Master of Magic is very dated, but very good.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
Elder Scrolls IV looks like it's going to be a great game. I've never played any of the other games in the series, but the preview videos of Oblivion are beautiful.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
And better yet, it looks like the rest is going to match.
