It’s been a while since I last asked this, so I thought it was a good time to see what games people are either still playing, or if they have moved onto something new.

On the PC, I squeezed in a few hours with the Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment beta.  I really had to limit myself, because I could have easily spent the whole weekend playing this, which is a good thing, but Saturday was Valentine’s Day and that could have led to future problems playing games.

On Friday, I hopped on Xbox.com and downloaded the Halo Wars trial.  I was really impressed it with it, and it was just a fun game to play.  The demo really left me wanting more, and it’s something that I will keep on my radar for next month.  I also downloaded the H.A.W.X. demo, but haven’t had a chance yet to play it.

So what did you play?

I played one or two hours of "Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None" which I just bought a few days ago. It's a nice game although I think I am missing cutscenes in VMware (and I have no idea why playing video of all things wouldn't work in a VM).

My flatmate and I played a few games of StarCraft, as we often do.

And I think I played an hour of Alpha Centauri, my all-time favourite since apparently the gaming industry have decided not to make non-fantasy non-hero-based turn-based strategy games that run in a window any more.

Yesterday the Simpsons game for the Nintendo portable timewaster arrived. I might play that soon, if I find the time.

And I played lots of games of Chess against my iPhone (Deep Green).

I tried to get into the following games this weekend...

Oblivion: Didn't work, my mod installs aren't organized properly...
Fallout 3: Not that excited about it, I've already put dozens of hours into it...
Sins of a Solar Empire: Yeah, I just couldn't get into the mode for it.  Not enough time or... I dunno.

What I did play this weekend?

Evochron Legends:  I've been having a blast with the multiplayer, doing co-operative contracts with a couple of other players, getting into dogfights.  Even exploring the game world... well it makes me feel like someone discovering a planet... being the first person on the surface... Good god, I'm going back to playing it
