The Ship was great fun, but last time I checked noone played it anymore, only a few servers filled with bots

Spoiler!


Well, at least there's solo mode.

Just got The Ship, Men of War, Magicka, Hearts of Iron III and Hacker Evolution. :IS2:

Hearts of Iron III is a great game, if hours of looking at counters is fun for you (It's right up my alley!)...

Also, I just bought Breach, and I like it quite a bit. I find it much more playable than other arcade shooters...

Been playing the Dungeons German demo a lot....they decided to make a two week gap between the European and World release, because apparently they treat their home market as a beta test >.>

Magicka, steadily getting through the campaign SP...waiting for the MP to get patched out.

And of course, the old standby, BC2.

Minecraft, made a little house that's actually a secret entrance to a whole network of tunnels with huge rooms and caves.

Quick question: Is BF2142 still being played (enough that it would justify buying it)? Has this northern strike addon been included for free with a patch like the BF2 booster packs? How much

here to kill your monster
whats actung panzer kharkov like - is it fun but gamey like CoH, small-scale micromanage style like commando/soldiers HoWW2 or realistic like close combat or Combat mission?

been playing ET Quake wars which is actually really very good indeed, after a fair bit of play you realise how underrated and surprisingly deep it is, with an excellent attention to detail.
i'm glad there's still a fair few dedicated players.

Just got myself to finish Amnesia: The Dark Descent. First thing I did after that was delete it :p So scary. Story was really good too, but in the end I somehow liked the Penumbra setting better, mainly due to the setting.

Now I'm starting with Fallout 3 DLC, Battlefield 2142(really like the style, hopefully they'll do a proper 2143 addon for BF3 or sth), CIV 5 and as always, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011. I must have like 200+ hours on this game at the minimum lol.

Apache Air Assault.

BFBC2 when I have 30 minutes to kill.

Tried to play some other games I never finished - just could not get into them.

It realistic like Combat Mission. The AI is very good, the ballistics are excellent(because the game was derived from a tank simulator engine) the graphics are nice. Too bad I got bored with it very quick. Also the community is half-dead and the game isn't being updated anymore. I think they're working on a sequel.

Just finished Dead Space 2.

Was enjoyable as the first, more streamlined (no back tracking) with greater emphasis on action and some great set-pieces. Not always scary as it was obvious when the majority of the jumps/fights are about to happen. However there was one part of the game that I found unsettling and that was

I have ended my huge streak of playing Mount & Blade in a pit of rage.

I'm doing so well, I have over 9000 renown I win just about every single battle of impossible odds and I own so many castles and a couple of major cities and my asshat King decides to go to war with everyone. I then lose everything because there's 2000-strong mobs of enemies coming from every single direction.

I'm also playing Men of War, and I've only ever won two games, save for a few where I'm like 2 points behind and the timer finally ticks out resulting in a loss.
