I Recently returned to Darkwind after a year or two off and am enjoying re-learning the game. The big 15-20 cars on a side scout battles are simply amazing fun. They are rare but when you get in on one it is something to see. It's a great game to kill a few hours on and it has that "I can do just one more scout before sleep" appeal to it.

My only gripe is it's a java based game and the client has an annoying tendency to crash when switching between your internet browser (used to manage your gang and vehicles) and the game client. Other than that it is a great game and you can do race events and rent cars to go along on the scouts for free, so it's definitely worth a look. First time players should do the tutorial before anything else or you'll be totally lost.

Darkwind is a great game..he is making darkwind 2 which is something Matrix should take a look at.

Might just be one of those periods where nothing satisfies and I can't see any game I want to boot up...

I hate times like these..I have an itch..but know idea what it is I need to scratch it..

Try modding?

When I cant face thinking about a game and just want some totally mindless fun for an hour whilst supping a beer, I'll get an old 'shoot em up' out; put all the settings on easy and just go and shoot a load of bad guys.

Had the same problem. Playing Fallout helped.

If I may recommend War of the Roses. A multiplayer medieval fighting game.
I've only ever played WOT before this one. It certainly is taking up my time. War of the roses and the new Xcom, which really IS good. Try it diehards. Its NOT original Xcom , but its still very good.

Alae Jacta Est has had a sum total of 1 hours play. Mainly because "the tutorial isn't much good so watch the 97 AARs on youtube and read 200 pages of notes in the forum..then you'll begin to get an inkling of a feeling of an idea of how to play."

Thanks for the advice. I could do that , after a long day at work.

Or I could grab my spiky mace and go charging across a ploughed field looking to bash someone's helmet visor in.

AJE has had about 2 hours max from me for the very same reasons.

After initial excitement I grew bored of XCom and never finished it.

I keep meaning to fire up APOS but haven't got passed the "meaning to" bit.

You could try something different... Over Flanders Field.
It's quite, quite good in recreating WW1 ambiance and it's very immersive. And the campaign is just... bloody marvellous and quite accurate.
It's a true WW1 tour de force, IMO.

VPaulus..my favourite ever sim..trouble is a lost the expansion in a HD crash so haven't the heart to go back..I will be buying WOFF on release.

Much prefer it over ROF as a single player game.

VPaulus · Post by **VPaulus** » Tue Dec 04, 2012 12:10 pm

Couldn't agree more. RoF has a nicer damage/flight model and better multiplayer support. But campaign and ambiance, OFF is much, much better.
I too can't wait for WOFF.
Don't you have a back of the expansion?

No I was very silly..I had it on a separate HD with all my downloads..guess what I did by mistake? Deleted the folder..it happened due to a dodgy mouse not registering mouse clicks properly and not thinking...
