What Game Have You Bought.

Talk about everything else that may happen in life that doesn't happen inside the real world of Space Gaming... is there really anything outside of Space sim/Combat Gaming?

After watching a bunch of TV documentaries on knights and castles over Christmas, I picked up Medieval 2: Total War cheap, and have been playing it obsessively for the last few days. It's great fun but, being rubbish at strategy games, I find it quite difficult even on the "easy" level! auryxOn the grand strategy level expand as fast as possible early on. Get a few cities and from there you will find it easier than if you didnt sieze anything early on.As an example England should be hitting the scotts pretty hard by turn ten. If you are looking for another medieval strategy series both Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader HD are par excellence if you want to build your own castles.

Nothing so grand as GTA V but I picked up Lifeless[/url] Planet in the GOG sale. Looks intriguing. :girlsmile:

Are they using that Rockstar social club as the DRM on GTA5 on the PC?. Lifeless Planet has a good story but it can be a bit linear. Bought Out There a couple weeks ago and picked up Midway Arcade Treasures for the XBOX.

Assassins Creed Rogue on the 360, pretty similar to Black Flag and the main reason why I bought it. Space Run and Rocket ranger in the GOG sale so far and also been thinking about buying the Master Plan.

Unfortunately, I cannot buy anything from abroad, since Capital Controls were implemented (that means that I can only use my credit card in Greece) . So I lost my Bard's Tale IV pledge!!

Boo, that's rubbish! Are those controls still in place? I was hoping the recent agreement would have lifted them but guess not :-( Anyway, back on topic, I re-discovered my old love for text adventure games (mostly free!) and have been playing (and enjoying) All Hope Abandon and Vespers. Also some Zork III for the nostalgia trip! And if I didn't have enough medieval punishment from Total War games, I've also just purchased Crusader Kings 2. auryx

Anyway, back on topic, I re-discovered my old love for text adventure games Check out "Mainland" on Steam, it's a NEW *gasp* text adventure, and pretty good. The one gripe I have is that as you start to type, it automatically gives you word suggestions, and sort gives you clues because you know you'll need that word at some point. I recently got Space Beast Terror Fright. Yes it's really called that. And it's totally addictive. A claustrophobic corridor first person shooter with rogue-like elements which is a cross between Space Hulk and Aliens. Do not play if flashing lights give you seizures.

Batman Arkham city GOTYE edition. ... That is a quite good game. I actually finished it with discovering all the riddles (I still wonder hoe that hell did I managed to get enough patience for that...). Regarding gaming, as my Steam account goes over 500 games (mostly cheapo bundle stuff) I'm replaying football manager 2014... :crazy:

Picked up a copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots at a low price and loving it! :biggrin:(I've tried a couple of games in the series a bunch of times, but never really owned one until now. I want to get the new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain whenever I get the chance to do so.) Also, I picked up Uncharted 1 for 5 bucks at EB Games. I plan to play through the series as I go.

More 360 games. Halo Reach limited edition think this one with the space section in it?. Splinter Cell Blacklist ultimatum, god I hate it when devs put countdown timers on levels. Tomb Raider GOTYE which I just like to point out has none of the downloaded content on the disk.

Bought Shadow of Mordor and I have no idea what's going on in this game although it seems to a fighting game crossed with Assassins creed and set in Lord of the Rings world.
