Sims Medieval?  I got it at Target for $40, I think it's just worth that for me.  Honestly, I would look into forums and websites and get a lot of opinions before getting it.  I like doing Quest, and I like building little towns.  But, you have very few of the options of the Sims games.  You can't design your own castle or town or anything.  You can buy a building, and decorate the inside, but cant change how it looks on the outside or any even where its placed in the town.  But, the quest are fun, many can be approached with different heroes and have options in them.  I like it, but I could see where others could be very disappointed.

Company of Heroes, I've been told its a good game. My son liked the demo. Maybe I should consider it.

What's GFFA like?  Is it at all similar to PR?  I'm always curious when people mention mods they're working on for games I enjoy.

Total War: Shogun 2 with all the time I can muster 

I've played the series since the first Shogun and I think I'm having more of a blast than ever before.

I can also recommend Sword of the Stars. Perhaps my all-time favorite game. It took a long time for a game to surpass Master of Orion 1 in my book.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Some of you may have noticed I've not been so active on the forums. Some of you may even be glad for it. Here's my explanation:

I bought Shogun 2 the day it came out and couldn't get enough of it.

Then I made the mistake of trying out Minecraft. Paid the $20ish, and now I can't stop.

Seriously. I need help. I'm halfway done building a wall around a medium sized island that will eventually be one giant castle. And I see blocks when I close my eyes. I get frustrated and go to punch trees, and then get more frustrated when it hurts and the trees don't disappear.

Haha, I've been playing minecraft on and off for the last six months now. Its nicknamed minecrack for a reason. Eventually though you'll just wake up one day and not have any desire to play it for about a week, then you'll try it again and be as hooked as before.

Also, don't try multiplayer until you have a lot of time to kill, that's when it will really consume your life.

In addition to Minecraft, I've mainly been playing Sins and the XGM mod for Rome: Total War.

Is it really that good? To be honest all the videos I've seen don't really say much about how it's played or whats the point. To look at a game that looks like it came out of a Nintendo 64 crossed with an Atari is wierd to me. But that's just my opinion of course.

The point is there is no point. I mean there is a survival aspect, a bunch of enemies spawn at night and you obviously don't want to die. Otherwise its just the exploration and building whatever the heck you want. Its the ultimate non-linear game because there isn't even a plot.

Me? Mostly some Battlefield 2142, Portal, SoaSE:Entrenchment, and a little Battlefield Play4Free thrown in.

Lately not the latter so much due to horrendous lag.

That's a lot of games.

@OP- is StarCraft II worth it for just SP&skirmish play? I'm not into online MP all that much.2

Forgot to mention I picked Disciples 3 up on sale so I'll be downloading that next.  Plus I got some Mass Effect 2 DLC but I'm not sure how much of the game I want to play again to go in on it.  I have three characters and I don't even remember why   since I only finished with one of em.

I'm waiting for some Dragon Age 2 DLC to play more of that.

I've been playing Assassin's Creed II on PS3, and enjoying it, even though I'm usually not an "action game" kind of person.  I'm finding it much less mindless than I expected, which is a good thing.

Also been looking forward to version 2 of a mod for Europa Universalis Rome called "Reign of the Ancients."  Once it's out, I'm sure that will eat some time.  The previous version (1.16) changed EU Rome from an unplayable, boring mess to maybe my favorite EU game, so this one has serious potential.

GFFA has more in common with UEaW than PR, but I envisioned it to be a poor man's PR in the sense that it adds more to the GCW era without being so demanding. I will PM you if you want more info, no need to clutter this thread unless others don't mind.

Its a good game. But i prefer Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (the first one, not the sequel), although theyre basically the same, CoH does have things like suppresion fire, which makes it bit more tactical.
