Actually, when I need a break from MMOs, I usually do stuff that does not involve the computer! I would either read a book, sleep or eat.

I play everywhere im needed but cant wait for fable 2 the next generation awesomeness with Peter omg the mans genius. Gears of war 2 is goin to bring a whole new level of teamplay third person shooter action.

What im saying is mmos may bring gamers together in a seamless world but got love the other games to for there revolution and endless evolution.

edit: woops forgat to say the games im playing. Soulcaliber 4, Halo(sit down with my friends 3 player free for all only) armoredcore 4 very unhyped and unknown game.

waiting on D3,Fable2,Gear 2,Dawn of war 2, starcraft 2,Dragon age(next gen Baldurs gate) halo 3:recon, halo wars(console rts LOL) and Golden Axe:beast rider and Prince of Persia.

rent some good games on the PS2 or Xbox. Got Baldur's gate atm which is quite good on the PS2.

Can't go wrong with the fighters. Especially the 2D ones! :)  (on console of course)  Street fighter, King of fighters, Tekken, Soul Caliber, Fatal Fury, The Art of fighting, Samurai shodown and many more.

When you need a break from MMOs what game or games do you play?

Darkfall

Turn off the computer.

If I do need a break for MMO's, The games I usually games were basketball, tennis, badminton. I do really tend to take a break from MMO's or any computer generated games. So that I can still have a healthy body and a social life.

When not playing an mmo I generally play Dawn of War or Day of Defeat: Source. If I am really bored I will load up some other random game that I might find interesting for an hour or so like Bioshock, Silverfall, The Witcher, etc.. Maybe one day I will play one of them long enough to get to the end but I am in no hurry.

Just got my pre-order for fallout 3! yewwwwwwwwwww

i'm currently playing Titan Quest : IT and Medieval Total War II

while waiting for fall out 3 , diablo 3 and lotro mines of moria

I'm replaying old games (Patrician, RTC3) and I'm going through a lot of games that I 'missed' because I was playing an MMO and didn't have time for much else. So I have a lot of catching up to do. Currently catching up on Oblivion, The Witcher, Overlord (that's my favorite at the moment), Sins of a Solar Empire.

Also bought a Wii. Yes, shoot me, but the gameplay is simply vastly different from any other platform, with the added bonus that my friends and family will play along as well, something that has never happened before with video games. My parents in law love Mario Kart and my own parents love Wii Sports. Got a few games to play/finish on Wii too: Mario Kart, Boom Blox, Zelda, Top Spin 3.

Looking forward to Fallout 3, the expansion for Sins of a Solar Empire, and some Wii games.

I also got back to playing board games. My favorites at the moment: Descent, Carcassonne, Bang!

I don't think I will have time to play any MMOs for months to come :) I still miss the social aspect of playing MMOs, but then again, most MMOs are solo experiences these days anyway, so...

EA Sports NHL 09

The new EA Sports Hockey League is f'ing fantastic. Its like a competitive sports MMO. Make a player, play just as him on a team with all your friends.

When not in the mood to play any mmorpg, I usually goes in front of the televion then surf every channels. If there ain't any fun to watch movies, series, cartoons or any shows. I then turn it off and open up my radio to listen to some music then starts dancing

Kingdom Hearts. Can't seem to get bored with them.

The massively underrated Dwarf Fortress. Once you get over the ASCII graphics and insane learning curve it is one of the most complex, immersive and addictive games out there (and it's indie).

Same here. Include all other FF series to that. Getting everything you can get for bragging rights is my hobby.
