I almost always played the gaians. Mind worm boils destroying jet bombers never got old.

UN Peacekeepers.

We only have the planet busters to keep the peace. Honest.

Glad to see those that have played the greatness of SMAC. It is one of those games that truly is timeless. The narrative of the game can be applied to our lives today and likely in the future. Socially relevant, amazing game play concepts, great dialogue, great art. Great great great.


Speaking of which, I'm actually in a PBEM game of SMAC right now.

If anyone here are interested in one, I've found that Google Wave is a great platform to play it from. Hit me up if you're interested in having a go at the mega chess of SMAC. If you need a wave account I have invites available.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 comes out in a day or two.
Its the classic battlefield action in modern war setting, if you have a psx3, xbox360, or pc you may want to check it out.
Also FFXIII comes out next week, not too sure about it due to extreme linearity but still worth a look for people who like the FF series.

I play Deidre. Other than the appeal to choose the faction, it allows paradigm efficiency and, likely contrary to its idea, paradigm population. Land can be not terraformed but instead made unpassable by anyone else... Trying to make the most important projects leaving the rest for the rest... A sure diplomatic victory...

Democratic-Green-Knowedge-Thought Control
Efficiency +7, Planet +3, Police +2, Research +2, Morale +1, Support -2 (do worms care, and still one normal unit per base can be supported for free, minimal need in terraformers), the rest at 0.

Democratic-Green-Power-Thought Control
Efficiency +6, Planet +3, Morale +3, Police +2, Probe +2, the rest at 0.

I always played the Spartans. Getting free prototypes did allow me to just steam roll most folks, though the Gaians always slowed me down when it time to battle head-on. It was those dirty UN peacekeepers though. . . how can world domination be done with a vote? Much less a vote where one party gets twice as many votes as everyone else. At least it was always gratifying wiping the Hive.

I always enjoyed making the Spartans my slaves/stock for mind worm food. If only because their leader's personality makes me want to take her down a peg.

RUSE public beta, with multiplayer, is out! :)

RUSE is a WW2 RTS game. Six playable nations (USA, Britain, Germany, Russia, Italy, France), large unit rosters, good looking game overall. It focuses far more on broad battlefield control and clever strategies than on micromanagement, which to me at least is a plus as I never could keep up with some folks in that department. I played several rounds last night as Mother Russia with a friend online and we really enjoyed it. Check out the screenshots and trailer, and if anyone wants to play ever I'm totally up for it.

It's really fun.

I've been playing it with my little brother for a couple of days now, and it reminds me of a mixture between Supreme Commander and World in Conflict.

Anywho, Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising has been released also, and it's fun to play as well.

Oh yeah, Chaos is OP.

I was really excited about FF XIII but then i went to best buy and looked at the cover and this worker came over and started talking to me about the game and it turns out "this game is not a fantasy...somewhere out there this is really happening in outer space in a different galaxy" then he talked about every character in the game like he just had a tea party with them moments earlier. It was kind of sad. He followed me talking about the game as i headed to the exit and nearly followed me to my car.

But i dont think i am going to pick this game up or even give it a chance. I just think that the lead characters need to be a bit more um...tougher or intimidating or something. I am kind of sick of the sword weighing more than the hero. Granted a lot of skinny nerds types live vicariously through these games, (like me) but come on..its getting old to me. I cant even tell if the lead character is a chick or a dude anymore. Lame. Why are the supporting characters always so much cooler than the lead characters...geez.

Perfect Dark! Wednesday! On Live Arcade! A remake of the N64 version we all know and love! And by remake, I mean they just updated the graphics. It's only going to cost 800 MS points! So, who else is going to get it? Hmmmm? Still one of the best FPS games in the history of video games, and now it will have on-line multiplayer~

I'm going to get it, for sure.
