I picked up Civilization 5 over the weekend since steam had it on sale for $7.. I booted it up last night after dinner, started a game, and 5 hours later the match still wasn't over. Holy time sink...

^ I hope NG3 turns out to be good, but hopefully it will not be as aggravating as the 2nd was for me.

Other than the stellar game play, I wonder what direction the story will go in the DOA series?

I'm just hoping that it'll not fail me. SoulCalibur V, Street Fighter x Tekken, & other recent fighting games were horrible... |

LoL games like those are time wasters but in a good way. Just hard to play an RTS game like that with so much information. I prefer simple ones like Starcraft/Warcraft.

Well Civ 5 isn't technically an RTS because it is turn based, that's why the game takes so long. I also did not really push for fast victory since I wanted to experiment with all the units and buildings etc. That said, 3 nights of playing and I am still on the same match >_>

It depends on what style gaming you like.
Can't go wrong with any of these: Skyrim Any of the Assassin's Creed series Battlefield 3 Rage Any of the Modern Warfare series. All of these play great on a multi-monitor setup with the right video card by the way. |

Just picked up Skyrim and gonna pick up BF3 this weekend. Man I don't think my rig can max out this games which I like doing. I would have to drop like another $500+ on hardware just to keep up with today's tech.

Ichi, was the Grand Theft Auto series available in Japan? Or banned due to public morality issues or something?
Had a student that wanted to talk about games for conversation practice. He was into the FF series and Dragon Quest(?, the other Square RPG series that is only big in Japan). I asked him if he had played any of the GTA games and he claims he hadn't heard of them. From my description of it (stealing cars, robbing stores, picking up hookers) he thought it may not have been allowed there. I was 'WTF???? That series has sold like a trillion copies internationally!'... Was he trolling me?

Game-wise, its great for flight sim, but can be hard to get used to in FPS or other games. Biggest issue is when you turn your character, everything swivels on the middle monitor. Once you do though its great there too. Here's an old picture right after I set it up with it running MS Flight Sim X. |
