    Historical Strategy Games

    Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for your suggestions-- I've put together a collection of links, titles and summaries and popped off an e-mail to my pops. The Matrix Games stuff looks like EXACTLY what he's looking for, though EU3 w/mods could be up his alley as well. Hearts of Iron...

    Historical Strategy Games

    Part of me wants to tell him all about this brand new game that's enormously accurate and then just turn on Starcraft.

    Historical Strategy Games

    Was just wondering if anyone on the escapist would know of any decent historical strategy games that seek to be historically accurate simulations. My father and I used to play wargames all the time (the kind with a board and hexes, with little cardboard bits and bobs that get pushed around...

    Unusual LAN RTS games

    I would suggest playing MORE Total Annihilation. Because it was the perfect RTS, and a better RTS will never be made. It's not traditional RTS, but you don't have any Total War games listed in there, and Rome Total War is dirt cheap now and runs on a multitude of PCs. Also there are so...

    Shelby is freaking cool, though you just KNOW that asthma is going to show up to bite him in the ass at JUST the wrong time.

    How will you play Heavy Rain?

    As with Hubilub, I'll play in a dark room, trying to be perfect and scoring the best ending. I will, however, have the game cranked up to max difficulty-- I want mistakes I make to actually be mistakes, not deliberate decisions. At least, on my first play through. After that, all my rules go...

    Poll: Will you buy Heavy Rain?

    I adore cop shows, Silence of the Lambs type serial killer malarkey... Even if the plot is hokey I'll still probably enjoy it, so it seems like the game was custom made for me, considering it's my favorite few things rolled into one: No twitch-based gameplay, branching decision paths that...

    Poll: Pipe, Cigar, or Cigarette?

    They are illegal now. Obama signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act that banned basically all flavored cigarettes except for Menthols. Because apparently flavored cigarettes are designed specifically to lure children to smoking. And apparently because kids are stupid, I...

    E3 Keynote Speaker Says Non-Christians Will Burn In Hell

    Well, he's completely right. That's a base concept of most fundamentalist churches and of the Catholic church. I commend him for actually supporting his religion rather than picking and choosing whatever sounds nice to him. The fact is that Christ said "No man will come to the Father but by me."...

    150: The Myth of the Media Myth

    Uh... I swear I read this several months ago. This exact story... Came in an Escapist Newsletter. Anyone else remember this?
