I like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Red Faction, among a number of other games. RTCW and Red Faction are my favorite so far. I am anxiously awaiting the release of Doom 3.

Any recommendations on other good first person shooter games?

I play a lot of Medal of Honor.

I used to play Diablo all the way through the D2 Expansion for hours. I started selling items I found on Ebay and made a killing doing it. The game got to easy though when you max level or get into the 60s so I stopped. I have a friend that makes about $200 a week selling crap from the game.

what hardware do I need to hook pc to it? Video card with DVI port, and DVI-I cable. (my card- ATI AIW 9800pro)

Any special software to run on pc? Nope, but I use XP Media Center, im sure XP/2000 home/pro would work fine.
