Obviously it hasn't been around as long as Doom or Evercrack but 1942 has definately impacted my life. I played the Battle of Berlin for days at a time. Later the history channel was showing something on the ACTUAL battle of Berlin and I started thinking "man it did suck when that German tank came over the bridge" before I realized that obviously I wasn't at the real battle. It freaked me out so damn bad! That's the true mark of how much a game effects your life.. if reality starts to blur, that's when you know it's more than a game.
Seriously, since I started playing GTA driving is a whole new experience. It's all about those times in traffic when there's a sweet ass car in front of you, and you get the unmistakable urge to jump out of your POS car and kidney punch the guy in front of you;) GTA and Battlefield 1942 have definately changed the way I look at the world (and the History channel).
