    I think I will go with Shogun 2 TW as well.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Proud

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    DOTA 2 if that's allowed.

    Otherwise Skyrim.

    Hmm, this is a tough one.

    At the moment, I'd have to say Armada 2526 - Supernova. However, Distant Worlds - Legends is starting to give it a real run for its money, and I suspect will continue to do so the more I play it.

    Duke Nukem Forever for me. And for a lot of fans of Duke Nukem too, apparently.

    While I haven't played a lot of this year's games yet, I can't see any of them managing to unseat Shogun II. In terms of total hours played and surprise "It's not rubbish?! Oh my gosh - it's great!" factor nothing else comes close. It is my favourite strategy game and probably my favourite PC game of all time. Heh, and I only gave it a chance because TosaInu gently nagged me about it!

    Worst game? Sword of the Stars II. Or do alpha quality games not count, since we're talking about full releases? :cough: Thank heavens I didn't have the money to preorder it.

    Homefront by a LONG way. To think I had the confidence to pre-order it...

    Skyrim would have to be the best I think, though I still maintain that Morrowind is the best in the series.

    I miss the days of good, atmospheric FPS games. The original Call of Duty (and its' expansion) were the very definition of awesome for me.
    Metro: 2033 and the STALKER franchise would like a word with you.

    That and the second one were fantastic. It has gone seriously downhill since then. I bought the first three Brother's In Arms the other day on Steam for just this reason - to me they were some of the most fun games simply because the characters had depth and depiction of war was often just brutally honest. It is such a pity that the franchise is moving away from this.

    Dark Souls. Beaten it with two characters, and 2/3 of the way with with a third. Mostly fantastic, very fun fighting through with different styles. A worthy successor.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I tried playing it through on hard with no cross hair and the home rule that I could only look down the sights if I was kneeling, prone or behind cover. I just hit the wall at one point and couldn't do it. Such a brutally hard game.
