I played Joint Ops before BF2 and BF2 is sooooo much better. BTW I didnt get the G36c the L85A1 is mine instead. Go British!!

It is a really interesting game where you start as a primitive setteler. What you do is colonize as much land as possible. It is turn based so as you complete each turn, years go by. The point of the game is to build a nation, build technology, protect your citizens, create foreign relations, start a war if you have to, etc. It is really fun, but hard. You can start out inventing the wheel and advance in technology all the way to making tanks, star-wars-like lazer defense technology, stealth bomber, etc. But what the game takes is discipline, because you have to be a leader who knows how to use the nation's resources. You have to learn to be smart economically, militarily, diplomatically, etc. If you started spending 85% on leisure investments, then you would not have enough money to protect your own country. Or if you spent too much money on the military, then life in your country would get boring and your citizens will mutiny. Imagine if US citizens of the states of Washington and Oregon mutinied and allied themselves w/Canada! In the game, situations like that do happen. But what is really cool is you have a choice to be one of 16 different nations, including Russia, England, or the USA, or you can customize your own. So playing the game is kind of like playing real life. Many times in the game while playing the USA, I have risen to be world power...but competing w/China militarily. Now that's ironic... I think this game has won awards or reconitions like Editor's Choice and others.

There are two really great games that I am waiting for: 1) Tomb Raider: Legend, & 2) Fallout 3...

Ha! I used to play Civilization I for days...no sleep...just world domination LOL

Yea, that game can be lots of fun and interesting. But it can be quite annoying too. Because you try to play the game and have fun, build a big empire and stuff like that, but some other nation justs attacks because you have no military... then you lose!

I don't know if this will sound odd to anyone here because the couple games I will mention are pretty old: 1) Fallout 1, 2) Fallout 2. These games have been critiqued as the best RPGs of all time, and you can get both of these games all together for a total of $10 on eBay, so it is a really good deal. I really wanted to recommend these because they are my favorite games.

Well, my buddy talked me into plunking down the money for World of Warcraft, so that's the game I've been playing a week or so. I was pretty apprehensive having been burnt out on City of Heroes. But so far WoW is a blast! :mrgreen:

Any other Wow fans?

P.S. there is a nice Wow theme for Wisbar advance, Pocketbreeze, etc. here. It's a keeper!
