I need to do it more.
Haven't made a blog post since, let me see . . . January 8th.
Well I don't know if I can recall all my gaming since then.  Well yesterday I beat Prince of Persia after having to completely start over due to a game ending bug, where Elika refused to move or do anything other than save me when I jumped off thing, couldn't activate the plates though.  I overall enjoyed the experience.  It was a nice chill game, I enjoyed the dialog too and the relationship evolution between the prince and Elika.

Let's see what else.  Well I'm playing Empire Total War.  Absolutely amazing game.  I love the total war games so my opinion may be somewhat biased.  I was somewhat shocked at how well Empire worked.  I was somewhat skeptical of the 18th century time period, but it works out very well and adds some freshness to the combat.

Also I've been playing some Dawn of War 2.  This is a also a great game.  I found that the levels in the campaign felt like a dungeon in an MMO.  It offers quite a unique single player experience; however, the multiplayer, although it is enjoyable, doesn't quite live up to it's spiritual predecessor, Company of Heroes, which, in my opinion, is the best multiplayer RTS around. (yes, even better than starcraft)

I think I got Red Alert 3 somewhere within my nonblogging period.  I actually very much disliked it.  I find that I can no longer play traditional RTSs do to Company of Heroes.  It's quite sad, I was a great fan of the old Red Alerts and C&C series.  Oh well.

Still playing constant Company of Heroes and Left 4 Dead.  Also I'm taking a break from WoW.

Sweet, what faction did you choose for Empire: Total war?

I've been experimenting with pretty much everything
Mostly British and Dutch though.

Thanks for the tip on the podcast!

"I've been experimenting with pretty much everythingMostly British and Dutch though."

Sweet, Prussia was actually the first country I played. Good country.  It reminded me more of the traditional total wars, because I didn't have to focus on the other maps, which I actually really enjoyed.  The different countries offer many different play styles.  I started experimenting with Russia today.  They are also a fun country to play as.  I'm going to spend way too much time on this game.

Going to iTunes right now. That podcast sounds amazing!
