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?

I should also add that I have been playing Battlefield 1943.  I really hope the PC version makes it out in the next couple of months.

Played Dawn of War 2 (with the new 1.5 patch) and the Demigod demo.  I was much impressed by the demo and will get the retail game as soon as patch 1.2 comes out.

Re-installed Civ 4 and expansions to my new 1 TB hard drive, so I had to spend a few hours taking that for a spin or two.

Ran around in City of Heroes for a few hours getting my 46 level Kinetics / Ice Blast Defender to 50 during their double XP weekend (which is a joke since the AE facilities have turned the game into mega-farms for Power Levelling.)

Started taking notes on Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet series for a possible computer / gameboard adaptation.

All in all, a fun and productive weekend...

and I downloaded the Demigod demo to give it a try later this week.

Mostly I've been playing around with Minecraft


But I also got started on Ico.

The Guild, Front Office Football and Europa Universalis III.

on Aug 04, 2009

First, I finished a game of Europa Universalis III that took me about a month to play. Then it was on to Twilight of the Arnor, Sins of a Solar Empire and Advanced Tactics WWII

I half expected zoomba to post something like "I played elemental" as a tease.

 

But seriously, I played Fat Princess.

the goal is to feed your princess so much cake the other people have a hard time breaking into your castle to carry her off.  (you need like 4 people to carry a very fat princess)

Aion mostly, with about 30 minutes of play time (each) for a bunch of strat games (Empire Earth, DoW2, CoH).  I keep looking at Dawn of Discovery and East India Company and am trying to figure out which one is better for me.  I don't know enough about either to make an informed choice (I would only get one as they appear to have similar themes).

I've been mostly playing Oblivion with the Oscuro mod... Makes for a much more challenging game, just finished Kvatch at level 23 and I still had trouble... Maybe I'm just an awfull gamer

Casual games.And i'm really looking forward to more casual games on Impulse.

on Aug 04, 2009

King of Fighters XII.


I know oddball answer, but it's good if you like serious competitive fighters.  Awful otherwise.

Demigod, GC2, and a personal favorite...Ace Combat 5: Unsung War.

Man, that's a great game.

on Aug 04, 2009

Guess what, I played Etherlords 2 on my Win98 partition. Shitty Star Force doesn't bother me on that OS.

on Aug 04, 2009

Played Aion mostly, didn't go crazy as I never do with MMO betas but played it enough to realise preordering it was a very good idea, eagerly anticipating it's release now.  Also been watching the Korean 3v3 tournament videos which looks pretty awesome, I just can't commit to a class in my head yet

Also I played a little of Majesty Gold and one game of Blood Bowl for the league I'm in.  Given up on Blood Bowl public play, it's totally rife with disconnect cheating.

 

Seriously Kitkun?!

I played (and lost) a monarch level Fall from heaven 2 game, with the clown king. It seems the advanced ecconomic AI mod makes really works, that and I've never played as the Balsphera (sp?) before.

I also played the Demigod demo and was so impressed by it I ordered myself a copy from amazon. Which is about £6 cheaper than it is on impulse.

I also played TF2 and got my best yet score with the spy. 97/62 on a 24/7 2 forts server. There is nothing more amusing then backstabbing 5 people in one go!
