Gamespy is one of the biggest gaming communities in the world and they even own the biggest retro gaming site out there (classicgaming.gamespy.com).

One of the best online values is a site called gametap.com -- for about $10 a month, you can play all the classic video games and games from ports that you can find, as well as downloading current games. This is just a great buy for your money.

If you really want to go for the MMORPG, playing World of Warcraft (www.worldofwarcraft.com) seems to be the best one going right now.
