What kind of computer games have you played before? I remember when I was younger I was addicted to 2 games, webkinz and Club Penguin.

Like, only the PC I don't play anymore?
It's a comprehensive list;
When I was younger, I was into Unreal Tournament (Original and 2003-2004), the Red Alert/Command and Conquer series (might fire up Red Alert 3 sometime though), Dune, Empire Earth II(Really miss that one), the GTA series. The early Warcraft games, 2 and 3 and the expansions. Various other titles, the Lost Vikings, some sims for example. The Star Wars: Dark Forces series, up to Jedi Academy. Those games are timeless classics. The old Star Wars Battlefront games as well (though I plan to go all in on the upcoming reboot).
More recently I've stopped WoW, The Old Republic, Skyrim, Civ 5, and I'm sort of off/on with Guild Wars 2. Also taking a break from Hearthstone. It's immensely fun, but to me it just feels hilariously unbalanced from the get-go. Hopefully they'll release the Death Knight class to it at some point. Looking over my desktop, I also see the Witcher 2, Cube World, the Stomping Land(of course that's not gonna happen), War Thunder (enjoyable but very grindy), and Wildstar. Never actually bought into that, but the Beta was fun.
I've also got a library of games I just never got around to playing, like Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Plants Vs Zombies, BF3 for PC (never bothered as I maxed it out on my 360) and Europa Universalis 5 which I really should at least try to get started with. Spore also deserves a mention. I got a whole bunch of games in the Humble Origin Bundle a few years back. I'd actually quite like to get back into Age of Mythology and Star Wars: Empire at War again, just to maybe try some bigger custom maps and such. I find RTS games relaxing and entertaining. War of the Vikings as well, but last I heard that game was still unplayable, which is a damn shame.
There's still countless more titles, but these are just a few that came to mind.

UNREAL TOURNAMENT! That game was literally my life for a good 2 years. That and Counter-Strike 1.5
The good old days when there wasn't any ranks or prestige to show boat how good you are. Just plain old, join a game and have fun. I liked having admins who actually tried to make the session more fun by changing the gravity or turning people into chickens. Then when people started modding servers, even more fun ensued. I know going to a net cafe isn't really a thing over in the states (is the majority of the site from the US?) but over here it used to be the number one thing to guarantee everyone had fun.
Favorite game to date on PC would have to be any version Counter-Strike. With 1.5 being my most faved, then Source coming in closely at second. The difference between 1.5 and 1.6 isn't much so I'll put them in the same fav-box.
Warcraft III Frozen throne was another game I jammed quite a lot. At first I didn't even like those sort of games and thought they were reserved for real geek-nerd types. But after playing Footman Frenzy a few times I realized it was actually like playing chess whilst everyone is on speed and all the pieces move at the same time.

My old man still plays UT, not even any of the new ones, just plain old school Unreal, bordering on competitively. They even had an small LAN event in Belgium a couple of years back. It's a pretty iconic, and kick ass game still.
The old RTS Warcraft's are timeless, I actually just reinstalled both Frozen Throne and Reign of Chaos last week. I really miss a lot of the old custom maps I'd downloaded. Like an Epic scale Lord of the Rings map with RPG elements, letting you and your friends play out the War of the Ring on a pretty fun scale.

Lol, you guys must be hardcore gamers. I'm more of a casual gamer myself.

Your old man is a boss Yes LOTR maps on WC3 were amazing! I liked the Helms Deep Map when you play as the good guys. I forgot about everything and was really into the game. Orcs were destroying my creeps on the frontline and were making their way in. I was panicked so bad and was about to abort the game (RAGEQUIT LOL) but then a dark part of the map lit up and there was Gandlalf in all his glory with the Rohan Riders. They came through and obliterated the orcs, I had was like "oh that's right!" great game. I wanna play it all again but I have to pirate WCIII and then download the map from somewhere. I'm not even sure it still exists on the net lol.
