Once again I spent a great amount of time playing Dawn of Discovery.  I finished the campaign, which was quite enjoyable, and now I have moved on to the scenarios.  These are challenging, and take some time to complete, but it’s well worth the time spent.

I had to squeeze in some time with East India Company.  This is a complex and challenging game, but very rewarding once you get the hang of it.  The visuals are simply beautiful, and puts you right into the ship as if you are a real captain yourself.

So that was most of my gaming weekend.  What did you play?

Aion had a closed beta weekend (unfortunately they only have 3-day windows every couple weeks), so that's what I was playing.

I tried Dawn of Discovery, but just couldn't get into it very much. I like games with a mix of building and combat - Dawn of Discovery is great on the building, but not on the combat. I've played Empire: Total War for many many hours because it was a great mix of the two, but alas.

Embarassingly enough...I purchased and played HOMM: V for the very first time. What a great game! I really hope Elemental's tactical battles are half as good as that. I also played me some Runes of Magic and Plants vs. Zombies

Demigod.  And pre-ordered Elemental.

 

I am busy studying for boards, but after that I hope to purchase and play The Witcher.

Demigod

Need For Speed: Undercover

SpaceForce: Rogue Universe

The Wonderful End of the World

And an oldie but goodie, ST Voyager: Elite Force

Had a lot of fun

Picked up Dawn of War 2 due to the 50% sale Relic offered.  I always thought the skirmish and multiplayer modes were complete rubbish (and still think so), but for $25 I didn't mind picking it up and playing the campaign coop with a friend.  Lot of fun, definitely worth the $25 for that.

Demigod and Diablo 2

 

Just out of curiousity, were you playing Diablo 2 with the new mod that allows for all screen resolutions to be used?  If you have, I'd be curious to see how it actually played.

I played a little CoD4, BF 1943 and Railroad Tycoon 3.

I'm really looking forward to Modern Warfare 2.

WarCraft III The Frozen Throne with my nephew. It's amazing how much replayvalue that game have!   The custom games are games in themselves!

 

I challenge you in WarCraft II if you're not too good (I got trouble with multitasking and handling lots of things at once).

Bloodbowl.

Nothing like dropping a foul on the blood bowl pitch.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. I bought it a while back and finally had the time to finish it. Bloody great game. I have Shadows of Chernobyl too and maybe I'm going to play it again with some mods because it's just that damn good.

Also a bit of World Racing 2. I thoroughly enjoyed World Racing 1 but am not having so much fun with part 2, I'm now just playing through the content just to see it all, then it's a quick uninstall.

Nope, playing 800x600 stretched to 1920x1200.

Demigod, SoaSE:E Mad Scientist mod, GalCiv2: DA, Homeworld 2 Complex mod, CoD:WaW, Tribes:V, Tribes 2 (Still better than any CoD yet), Soldat, C&C:TS, WiC, and HoMM3.

What can I say? I'm a busy gamer.

Do you have a link to that by any chance?

I know there was an Open GL wrapper for it that prettied it up a little bit, but playing in higher resolution might get me to come back to it.
