the things you mentioned about graphics quality/effects would surely appeal to me .

I am not sure which one it was that I did not like
it was really crappy , the last 3d version I played and
enjoyed were fortress .

I played a little with wormux today , kinda fun ,I had
a few good laughs .

worms is a classic that will never die , there are a couple of other games I love just because of those
silly situations you can get yourself into as a player ,
like gta from the very first version upwards , and then
some old fashioned style quest games .

I just played a top down shooter wich reminded me of
the top down gta games , would like to try doing a game in a similar top down style.
