Finally picked up Silent Storm (it only got released a couple of months ago here). Havn't played too much of it. Still playing Nexus, and I also grabbed a cheap copy of Serious Sam the 2nd Enc (mainly for co-op).

thus, why I got a cheap copy and mainly for co-op. I know the game sucks, but it's hilarious when you have a couple of mates going at it after a couple of drinks.

Playing King of Dragon Pass. Bit of an underdog, but it's great.

Is Silent Storm worth purchasing? Is it any good? I've been rather starved for some good old fashioned turn based strategy.

I'm playing RE4 mostly now, havent played much of metroid prime 2 in the last couple days because of it. I think I was pretty close to the end of MP2 so I might try juggling the games around. I got too many damn games to play GOSH.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is my game of play right now. Runs really well, even with thousands of units on the screen at once.

Well, most likely not "thousands", more like <150.
Honestly, there aren't so huge battles. And it's a boring game, anyway.

8 player game can lead to 1000's. Especially if most of the players are Ork.

It's pretty fun. Granted the micro-management part is sterile, the actual battles are fun to watch unfold.

I've been re-addicted to playing Mancala and Go-Moku. Those are the only two good games on the computers at work.

Yeah. That's right.

What's up now?

I was playing Fallout.

But I got tired of it since the damned game wouldn't allow me to join the Skulz (when I did, they killed me, their own flesh and blood!! :cry: )

I completely avoided any such problems with them. Tycho and I introduced the Skulz to our business associates; Mr. Shotgun, Mr. 10mm SMG and Mr. Dogmeat.

And I stole the urn anyway and sold it in the Hub, just to be a dick.

Ive been tempted to play Fallout again with everyone bringing up all these memories talking about Wiki.

I Finished MGS: Twin Snakes couple days ago, it was pretty good. Right now Ive been playing MGS3 which is pretty cool, I like the jungle its just so predator/rambo. Though my complaint with it and alot of games is having a freakin pause button during cut scenes especially if they are going to be long, nothing sucks more when your talking to someone and miss most of the cutscene while you press start expecting to pause but you actually just skip it heh.

After a run back to the parents house I took back Arcanum, a game I really like the idea of.. then I play it and get bored doing the dungeon runs. G'uh. It's a shame, I think that game has bags of atmosphere but the combat is too weak.

The only game I've played for more than 20 minutes a week is AO, but even that's dropped off because I got a little lost and re-assessed the fun I was having.

Retlaw, the only problem is that I wanted to play Fallout the evil way for a change... And since I've been trying to pick all the nasty ways to do things, it's hell of a disappointing, that I'm not able to join the "tuffest and ruffest" gang in all mid-Junktown.
