I've been playing X-COM while waiting for Mass Effect to download. X-COM is frustrating; I'm not very good at it. :P I've done enough research to get some of the real good stuff but I hate losing troopers so often just let shot-down UFOs go. And there are at least 3 enemy bases nearby. I went down one with a plasma hover tank and 10 troopers in power armor. My tank traded fire with some mutons then gets missiled by some sort of homing thing I haven't seen before. I packed up my troopers and booked it.

SWAT 4
what a great game!
it is a lot like rainbow six: raven shield, but you have more equipment and you cant always just shoot everything you see. because your aim is to arrest the suspects, shooting them isnt such a great idea, and you try to hold off on shooting them as long as possible. and if you shoot a suspect if they arent threatening you or a hostage. i cannot tell you how many times ive failed a mission because i shot a suspect when they werent aiming a gun at someone!
you have an arsenal of tactical items and weapons: door wedge, tear gas, pepper spray, tasers, non-lethal shotguns, assault rifles, and the list goes on.
while nowhere near like the real thing, its probably the closest thing to it, especially helpful for me because im seriously considering a career in law enforcement.
the game looks good for an old game, and the general animations are great. AI is good, the suspects even flanked me a few times!
very few noticeable bugs or glitches.

my only gripe is that there no real knockout gas which you can equip. if there are three armed tangos in a room, all you can really do to subdue them is to deploy gas or stinger grenades.
i give it a 9.5/10

Started up a Mori campaign in STW tonight. I'm gonna have to beat plough shares into swords because my starting lands are so piss poor for farming I might as well.

Exams finish tomorrow which means that I've got a month of uninterrupted gaming ahead of me on my new PC. The list of what I have waiting for me (In various stages of beginning):

Mass Effect (6 hours in and loving it)
Bioshock
Assassin's Creed
Fallout 3
Crysis
Pro Cycling Manager 2010
STALKER
Left 4 Dead 2

I know there are a lot of people here who play L4D2, so if you want to add me on steam I'd love to have a game with you guys. My steam id is CountArach.

In honor of Steam's massive Mass Effect day a couple days ago, i've loaded both games in the series on my comp for a complete run through. So far i'm about 5 hours in on the first game and really noticing the flaws (after so long in the sequel) but still loving the game as a whole.

Other then that i've been trying to settle on a nation to play in EU3 for about a week, still can't decide on anything solid. I've played Milan (and formed Italy) and took that game to completion, Muscovy (formed into Russia) has also been done. Any good suggestions from the fellow EU3 players on the board?

Hit up Crazed Rabbit, he's on Steam (under that name) and regularly plays L4D2 a lot.

I would tell you to add me, but I do not currently have it installed. I'm on a bit of a Team Fortress 2 kick as far as MP goes, currently.
