The Movies, Music, and Games thread

Tactics was AWESOME, until the first encounter with the robots. In my opinion, it was this element that ruined the game. I loved the first part of the game where you had to assault a fortress or town occupied by raiders or mutants and meticulously wipe them all out. Achieving this, with minimal casualties, really called for a certain degree of 'tactics'.
