I'll be on an 18-hour direct flight (longest commercial flight) between Newark, New Jersey and Singapore. I will be bringing my laptop with me. I'm looking for an enjoyable game to kill the time. I don't do well with FPS (always gives me headache). Several years ago I was on a similar long flight and played Civilization 3. Any good strategy/turn-base games these days?

Buddy, we ALL wish we had a dame to play on those long flights.

It's just too obvious. Wait until you land.

I fly united, and every even numbered row on the plane has 2 outlets. Every chair in first.

I'm on the Airbus 340-500 of SQ, their economy cabin is called Executive Economy. All seats have powerport (AC outlet). They also have more than 30 on-demand movies (you can stop, pause, forward...)

In some certain flights. At least in their transcon flights between JFK-LOS, JFK-SFO
Get back to the discussion, guys!!! I need recommendations! Right now after reading some reviews, I think I probably will go with Rome Total War. Can a 700m handle that?
