Blast from the past style: Armed and Dangerous

**lars573** · 01-19-2007, 23:19

PC: M2TW, Cossacks 2: European wars, Far Cry. Plus I just beat FEAR.

Xbox 360: Just beat Splinter Cell:DA, Superman Returns, Oblivion DL content (Theives den and Wizard tower), trying to finish Quake 4. I'm going to pick Star Trek:Legacy again soon.

PS2: Every once in a while I'll pick up SoC and kill a Collosi.

WoW -- unfortunately way too much time on this, but my S.O. is infatuated with it, so that's our social gaming time together.

M2TW -- most of the non-WoW, solo gaming hours spent here.

GalCiv2 -- pretty much through with this, but I still go back for a short campaign or two when I want a break from M2TW.

During the workweek: Birth of the Federation, Romulan campaign, Normal difficulty, Domination mode. Have conquered the back-stabbing Cardassians and the "couldn't take a hint to leave me alone" Klingons. Am in a cold war with the self-righteous Federation, and the Ferengi keep demanding tribute even though I overpower them on a scale of at least 4:1.

On the weekend(s): MTW/VI - Pocket Mod, Fatamid campaign, Normal difficulty, GA mode. No progress yet beyond the first few years of building/training -- Caravel kept releasing updated versions of the mod, and I was compelled by my neurosis to keep downloading/installing them (thus nullifying the progress I'd made previously).

This is going to be the latest update for a while, though, so I finally feel free now to play how I will.

Mostly Fire Emblem: the sacred stones (GBA), my second playthrough, started right after I finished it the first time.

I still have to finish the final chapter of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, but I'm taking a break from that now.

Maybe I should mix in a little BotF with my MTW. It's been a while since I've played. I wonder if it will run on my girlfriend's laptop.

Never tried it on a widescreen, do you know if this works?

I have no idea, unfortunately - I've just got a plain old 17" CRT monitor. I've *heard* it works okay on flatscreens and laptops, but that the image might not go all the way out to the edges (since the resolution is fixed at 800x600).

Playing on PC:

Call of Cthulhu
M2: TW (just got it the other day)
EU III demo

Well, have only a PC so:

Medieval 2, quite a great game IMO, even with it's flaws.

Anno 1701, very fun game, takes a lot of time though, you basically populate some islands in the new world and produce goods to advance your population from pioneers through settlers and citizens to merchants and finally aristocrats who pay a lot more taxes. To get all the stuff you need for your population to advance, you will need to open settlements on other islands and build ships to bring the products to your main island. Most of the game is peaceful but wars are also possible with three types of ships able to fight(two merchant versions without cannons) and some land based soldiers. The combat is pretty basic but the focus is on building up and trading with AI players, foreign cultures etc. Well, got carried away in explaining, on to the next

Gothic 3, most of my playing time is spent with the other two at the moment but from time to time, i still play some Gothic 3, a few more patches really couldn't hurt the game, but it can be fun nonetheless.

Supreme Commander Beta, playing this now and then if I have some time and there is a joinable game since open games are not that many, the players always want to start quickly it seems and often joining doesn't work or you get kicked because it has already started.

Lately I also started Silent Storm Sentinels again and may play a few other older games or new demos from time to time(like Mount&Blade).

I'm kinda split between medieval 2 total war kicking turkish ass as milan or playing starcraft brood war on battle net, siege tank + goliath = pwnage

**C-F** · 01-20-2007, 04:03

Well, I 'play' in 3 'categories' pending time and mood

a) just got Anno 1701 and am delighted and having fun - one just has to have plenty of continuous time to make it worth while...
EU III demo (yesterday) - no comment yet - full version due end of the month
RTW TE5.1, finished 2 campaigns( Rome and Britons) and thinking about starting a 3rd (was waiting for gold, but that won't happen now...

)

b) I've 'shelved' Caesar IV ; M2TW for the time being awaiting patches, games with lots of potential but currently falling short...
So its Pharaoh, Baldurs Gate 2, and Victoria

c) for 'fillers' or 'quicky's' I do Minesweeper, Kyodai Mahjongg, and Flight Simulator X

PS, forgot 4th category : bought but not installed/played yet - Oblivion; Age of Empires 3; Freelancer; Emperor rotmK; Quicken Willmaker plus...
