    Recommend a strategy game.

    Lets see. Warhammer 40,000 Retribution (more RPG & squad based then DoW but I still call it a RTS) Men of War (great if you like micromanagement hell) Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (getting a bit old but you can't beat the scale) Wargame: Airland Battle / European Escalation Total...

    Who wants to be the guinea pig for Space Engineers?

    Keep in mind these are the same people who made Minerwars 2081, a game where they seemed to have run out of money then took what they had and slapped together a game. A lot of features got cut iirc (eg, building stations) and ended up with a real lack of polish...

    Is there an animal simulation game?

    There's Primal Carnage, mp only deathmatch where you can play as dinosaurs vs humans. Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter / Ice Age, hunt extinct animals and show them in a trophy room. It also has a "photo" mode where you take pictures instead of shooting them. Don't know where you can get it for PC...

    Steam Controller Demo

    *swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe swipe* That has got to go. If moving your thumb to the very far edge of the track pad meant that the cursor kept moving in that direction I think that would go a long way to helping this controller.

    Space exploration/open space world for flying etc

    If you like minecraft there's Starmade. Minecraft in space, you build your own functional spaceship to explore, salvage and fight NCP pirates(with loot)/players. It's in alpha and it shows but it's free atm. They have "planets" that are more like dinner plates but they are still cool to explore...

    Homeworld: Shipbreakers

    Pretty sure the answer is no. First problem is that Cataclysm was not made by Relic but by Barking Dog Studios so there seem to be a few legal issues. The second and most important problem is that the source code is simply gone. Barking Dog Studios no longer exists and no one that can be...

    Homeworld: Shipbreakers

    Things are looking up for all things Homeworld but the dark spectre of Gearbox and F2P still loom over the IP. Whether they'll be a force for good or evil remains to be seen.

    The Official PS4 Thread

    Microsoft has already sold me on the idea of a PS4, all they did was make me do a 360. $100 more because of a spycam/input device I would never want is not a good starting point. I'm done with the 360 game library and a PC gamer at heart so that leaves only new console games for the xbone to...

    The Official PS4 Thread

    With microsofts awesome E3 reveal and care taken to address consumers concerns they have convinced me to buy their offline product, the Playstation 4. I wasn't even planning on buying a console but they got me looking at the PS4 and I found they have plans for a "cloud game streaming service"...

    Homeworld IP bought up by Gearbox

    This is a really mixed bag of good and bad. On one hand Gearbox did specifically buy the Homeworld IP so they should be planning to do something with it. Nothing makes homeworld special when it comes to FPS's so I think they're trying to break into the RTS/space sim market with something they...

    Another step in the Turkish aggression

    Pffft, Turkey isn't going to do ****. -NATO/USA isn't going to back Turkey if they try to start a war of aggression. -The EU doesn't like their balls being squeezed by Russia over oil & gas so they got a hungry eye on Cyprus and Israel which are likely to export to them. Turkey is a leaf...

    Diablo III requires constant internet connection

    Gawh, more of this "I have the internet so EVERYONE must have the internet ALL THE TIME". Guess what [decided to remove term(s), you can fill in the blank]? People who don't have the internet aren't posting at the moment and not everyone eats the same cereal as you and takes a crap at the same...

    Gears of War is like "CRAPPP, they got us pinned!

Cower in fear for I have arrived to send you and you misbegotten kind back to the abyss...

    Make Prince Harry our king, say Canadian monarchists

    Umm, no. And as much as I despise our current government, it's likely the one most likely to rip the royal family a new [insert term] should they suggest living off tax payer dollars and/or having a unelected say in government (hey, harper is working on senate reform). Should that fail...

    Why does all DLC suck so much?

    Yes, I have high standards but not unreasonable standards. The game consists of "paths" you have to follow, and it chokes to death any sense of exploration. I'm not asking for Oblivion but something like Gothic 3 would have been nice. Still lead down a patch but lots of room to move around and...

    Why does all DLC suck so much?

    Time to beat the dead horse and throw my two cents in. When I think DLC, I think replayability. When I see DLC, I see money grabs. To buy a game it must stand well on it's own, and if it's good then I'll want some DLC to add more to replaying said game. DA: O being an example, I loved the...

    Duke Nukem Forever on Steam

    In short, 7.5/10. Needs more ways to **** around with the environment and NPC's (dispite what you can already do). Great level design and humor, lackluster combat (GIVE ME MORE GUNS) and controls that really feel like a console port. But one thing I'll say for this game, some of the best...

    Pakistani troops retake naval base from militants

    If terrorists can buy off the Pakistanis then the USA can do it better. I'd bet good money most of the commanders of the nuclear sites are ready to hand those nukes to the USA on a silver platter (eg, a few radars break down, nukes ordered to be "relocated") if enough money and maybe a one way...

    Best games with open world exploration.

    +1 for STALKER series. Minecraft, it's about the unique randomly(ish) generated terrain, what you build and what others built. Youtube video will tell you if you'd be interested in the terrain, you can find open severs where you can enter and explore what others have built and finally you can...

    Canadian Election 2011

    Very unhappy with the Conservative majority. I was hoping for a conservative minority with a strong NDP opposition to put a leash on them, at least half of that came to pass. But this is the price of some well needed shaking up of Canada's political scene. Now we move forward with the NDP...

    Anyone playing Miner Wars?

    Miner Wars got $1,484,000 USD in investment funds and is switching to high gear in development in about 2 months. They got a new office and are hiring all the people they'll be needing for the next while. http://www.minerwars.com/ForumTopic.aspx?id=1762...

    So I just bought Two Worlds II

    Any word on the DRM this game uses? I keep seeing mention of online activation and 3 install limit [before the game was released but since then I can find nothing. The steam page for it also does not list any DRM, though they have been known to delay putting up such notices by a few days...

    Game for just driving around?

    You sort of can in Arma II. Your truck/apc/tank has limited gas and you either need to find a gas station in the towns or a fuel truck and it works just by being near one for long enough. Great game if you want to take various military vehicles for a spin.

    North Korea warns that war would bring 'nuclear holocaust'

    NK "tested" two nukes (iirc). According to seismic surveys and air samples those tests appear to have failed. Now lets assume that they did in fact work, how big are these nukes (not blast size). Can they arm one of their missiles with one, or can they only arm one of their flatbed trucks with...

    Game for just driving around?

    No one suggested Arma/Arma II? For Arma II, a 250km square map that lets you go anywhere with towns (wouldn't call them cities) dotted around the map and a map editor that lets you place tons of units (including many non combat ones) and give those units instructions on what to do and when to...

    My first PC Game

    Steam usually lists any extra DRM that comes with a game under "Game Details" and/or "System Requirements". It's a good idea to stay away from anything with install limits/online activation/required internet connection unless you are fully prepared to deal with any problems that would come up...

    China seeks to ban non-state VOIP (Skype)

    The Chinese government is terrified of a guy who wrote a petition. Of course you are going to do everything in their power to control the flow of information to & between their people lest they fall off the razors edge they are sitting upon. Also why I avoid most things labeled "made in china"...

    breaking: North Korea just artillery shelled a South Korean island

    Every time someone talks about NK using nukes I go "uggggggggg". They tested two duds along with their inability to fit said duds on anything other then flatbeds. I'd only worry about NK in two cases at this point. A- SK does nothing to counter NK aggression while NK keep escalating until...

    THQ: Lower game prices to 40 dollars

    I don't mind as long as: A- The base game is worth $40. B- You do not need any DLC to enjoy the game or enable core features like MP (if it has it). C- The DLC is worth whatever it's price tag is. I'd also say no online activation/install limits but that is more of a overall DRM issue then a...

    Israeli Cabinet passes loyalty bill, Arabs angry

    What I had in mind was what happened during WWII and how most nations abandoned, ignored and/or aided in their persecution . This included allied and neutral nations. Simply put, they need their own country BUT due to it being a religious based country it's not a very pretty one. I still think...

    Israeli Cabinet passes loyalty bill, Arabs angry

    Pretty much. I don't like Israel, I don't want my country to emulate anything from Israel, I don't want my country to support (not counting trade) or hinder Israel BUT I understand a need for this ugly country and why it exists. If all the hatred towards and attacks upon Israel -edit- and jews...

    Israeli Cabinet passes loyalty bill, Arabs angry

    Israel is a different case. It has been shown quite clearly that this religious group needs to ensure their own protection. The country of Israel is this protection and to keep it as protection it needs to keep the religious majority their own religion. It's a ugly thing but a need thing...

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    Fun game from what I've played and for a beta very much bug free (there is this one map that lags out for me every time and most other ppl it seems). Quite enjoying my T-28 with the 85mm cannon ambushing heavies. I don't run into heavies first very often so I usually end up hit and running the...

    UN Report : Israel broke law in flotilla action

    This is not the real UN report. This is the circle jerk report except Israel decided not to sit in the middle where they were supposed to. No one expected anything but condemnation of Israel, damn the evidence. The real report is the joint Turkey/Israel UN report which is still in progress...

    Who's playing Minecraft?

    SMP (survival multiplayer) is far from done and is truly in alpha stage (as the game already says). Currently the creator Notch is busy setting up a new (small) business based around Minecraft and development of another game (which someone else is going to be producing). Until this is setup...

    China versus Japan: The Fishing Boat

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-11410568 Not a mile, yet. For Japan to say sorry to China over this is to indirectly say China owns the islands and Japan has no business being there. What really matters is what pressure/force China puts behind these demands. Will we see a continuation of...
