The "What are you playing?" topic.

More zombU, such a great game, a shame we will never see a sequal as it's a masterclass in survival horror. So underapreciated in the reviews. And fire the guy who thought the box-art was a good idea please because it screams malware. It isn't, it has some really good mechanics and stunning graphics, best particle effects ever made, and sound to die for so to say. Death is sudden and brutal as it should be. If you play really carefully you can keep your characters alive, but the game loves to assault you. You will die, a lot. Consequence of dying is brilliant, you become a zombie yourselve and your next character gets to loot it.

Captian Toad, sheer brilliance. The puzzles aren't going to melt your brain if that is what you are after, get something else. If you like some casual problem solving with really cool graphics you should get this. Like everyrhing Nintendo makes it is supposedly packed with secret area's. Haven't found one yet but the game is really fun.

Ultimate General: Gettysburg. Nice to see Darth of DarthMod put his money where his mouth is and go out and create a game, a rather good one at that. And with it on sale on steam at 50% off how could I resist enlisting in a bit of civil war combativeness for 7 bucks.

I wholeheartedly agree. Gettysbourg was indeed a rather enjoyable game, in my opinion, a refreshing experience about the games concerning the modern warfare, especially after the disappointing failure of mods, like TGW.

I got Endless Legend on a Steam sale- fantastic game. My first playthru was as the Broken Lords, who are a race of humanoids who have over time become little more than spirits bound to their magical armor. As such, they have no use for the food resource and use "Dust" to grow their cities and heal their armies.
It's fascinating how almost every race bends the basic economic rules of the game to fit their characteristics.

My main rival for dominance ended up, appropriately, being the Necrophages- a race of insects intent on extinguishing all other life on the planet. There were some epic back and forth wars- including one particular memorable war when my main army was fighting their forces overseas and they went all Scipio Africanus on me and attacked me on my mainland with a large army. They laid siege to a city and tried several assaults to try to wrest it from me while I frantically scraped together relief forces.

By end game, I won by constructing a wonder, but it's safe to say we were also militarily dominant...


To me, this game seems like what Elemental tried to be, but fell short.

Prison Architect:
Very addicting, even if its kinda bugged. Thats the risk of buying into an alpha I suppose.

Age of Empires II - HD Edition.

Always and forever, incredibly fun and addictive game!

Did I really say the puzzles aren't going to melt your brain. It becomes absolutily vicious after a while. Love this game. It's hilariously sadistic at times but always fun.

Final Fantasy 8 on Steam, mostly cause it's been years since I've played it.

My two big guilty pleasures lately are Endless Space, a pretty solid 4x space game that was fairly bland on launch but has since gained a lot of character and content via free patches and one relatively cheap expansion; and Dungeon of the Endless which is a little rogue-like I picked up on sale not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised--this is one of the best little rogue-likes I've played, and if you like games like FTL, or Sword of the Stars: The Pit, or (presumably, though I haven't played it) Don't Starve then you'll probably like Dungeon of the Endless.

I considered getting Endless Legend to round out the collection, but that one looks like it'll require a good block of free time set aside. By most accounts, though, its the best of the three.

I made it about 75 hours on Skyrim and just said "ok, I'm done for now". I was just running around doing side stuff with no desire to finish the main campaign. I bought FF8 on steam on sale because I hate myself.

If you have it on the PC? If so, then mods are your answer for being bored in Skyrim.
