Supreme Commander(PC): Jeebus
Ever heard of a little game called Total Annihilation? It came out when I was 7, and I was playing it for the next 4 years after that. That game rocked my world, and set me on the path to world domination. Now that I am part of the military-industrial... Read More

Counter-Strike: Source(PC): I'm an old-school CS 1.5 guy...
...So when I say things have gotten better, I mean I know its gotten better. CS 1.5, gods bless it, is still alive and well in some circles (kinda like Asteroids for the older generation, I think). CS 1.6 is as well, as far as I can tell. However, these... Read More

Half-Life 2(PC): Just read...
Oh. my. science. Gordon, I want to have your babies. Alyx too, for that matter. Even that crazy priest in Ravenholme can watch, if he's not too busy being nuts. Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ, I cannot get enough of this game. The single player campaign... Read More

The Lord of the Rings Online(PC): PVP? No silly, PvMP!
Thank the gods I never got hooked on this one like I did WoW. Basically, I loved the epic storyline at the heart of the game, as that made PVE content fun and engaging for the most part. However, the other side quests were still mostly run-of-the-mill... Read More
7.5 great

Rome: Total War(PC): Awesome
Great game, pairing Civ management with tactical gaming was a great idea. My only beefs are the lack of naval tactics, a useless autoresolve function (I never had a decent success rate with it) and the enemy AI in tactical situations was generally poor... Read More
