So in the spirit of getting on with things, and actually playing games when I actually have the time – I am looking for suggestions. For now, single-player games have priority since I want to start looking at other elements of gameplay and design (outside of social and role interaction) that influences player identity and/or game identification. For now, I think I will stick to the rpg genre, or some form of rpg hybrid. Suggestions welcome =)

I think its time for EVE online – I saw the CEO of CCP give a talk at Nordic Game. The depth of conviction at that company is impressive and the game seems very interestingly layered in many ways.
Don’t give up on MMOGs — once this WOW stuff is over there will be so much to do.
