    Escapist Podcast: Bonus: Game of Thronescast, "The Lion and the Rose"

    Escapist Podcast: 071: Jumping the Cougar-Shark

    Escapist Podcast: 042: Ultimate Question of Everything

    There was a Halflife mod named Natural Selection which came close to Steve Butts perfect game. It was an Alien vs Marine ego shooter but one player had to be the comander and he played the game pretty much like a RTS game. He had a tactical map and gave orders to the other players like building...
