Do you have to play AGAINST your girl friend? What about just being on the same team? When my friend and I used to play AoE2, we would play on the same team and see how many AI opponents we could beat. For a longer, build-up game, increase the number of opponents rather than the difficulty...

Only two mentions for X-Com?

Puzzle quest or Portal.

KOTOR definately gets a lot better when you get off that first planet.

^^^ Agreed. Here's my attempt: I want to pick up Demigod, but it's a little pricey now. Does being on Impulse preclude it from ever being on Steam (along with a very nice weekend sale)?

Thanks, that's good to know. How long does an MP game usually take? Or what is the range between a fast game and one that goes to the wire?

I'm pretty interested in this game, but I'm in a situation now (new baby) where I can't commit any chunk of time to a game. Basically, I need to be able to pause the game and get up at a moment's notice. Is SP mode at all enjoyable? I assume there is some sort of skirmish set up.

Winning a computer game doesn't mean anything in life, but being a decent person does. Try playing for fun. Win or lose, who cares?

In April of '07, I put together a computer with an EVGA 8800 GTS. It just crapped out on me this week. Two questions: 1) I was told that it would have lasted longer if it had heat sinks instead of a fan. Any truth to that? Are fans known to break down that quickly? I have a mostly empty...

How does this game compare to Puzzle Pirates?

Sid Meier's Pirates! maybe.

- Civ II - X-Com: TftD and Apocalypse - Age of Empires II and III - Red Orchestra - WoW ....at least I kept it varied!

I'm not a WoW fan by any means, but I have played it, and I think you're wrong about it. I used to play it with my real-life friend, and ONLY with him. No solo, no groups of strangers. We had a good time chatting about all kinds of non-game stuff while we played. I think your...

I ordered COH: Opposing Fronts and Portal. I have some of the more popular games already. Any opinions on Silent Hunter 3? Would it be fun for someone who doesn't mind realism, but isn't really into super hardcore simulation games? And why does it say XP only in the sys. req. section? (I...

How do you justify $15 a month if you only play a few hours a week? That was the problem I had with WoW. I didn't want to play all the time, yet if I didn't, I felt like I was getting ripped off. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. In the end, though, it was the grinding that...
