I haven't bought any new games lately, so I generally stick with my tried and true favorites, such as SPWaW, WIA 2, Korsun Pocket/TAO and even AoE III. Occasionally I fire up my modded version of Silent Hunter II or even one of the Battleground games. BG: Bull Run is a fave. My games provide a good cross-section of time periods, so I don't need to have a huge collection. Futuristic space warfare games don't interest me.

1) Skyrim
2) Sim City
3) War in the Pacific: AE

Sim City: Don't know why everyone thinks the new Sim City sucks. I've played 'em all from 1 on up and the new one is the BEST of the lot.

WIP: AE - big improvement over the original WIP. Less to micromanage but still a monster with lots and lots to do. 1 or 2 turns a day is about all my 62 year old, hates micromanagement, brain can handle. Good exercise for the mind.

Skyrim: Pure unadulterated mindless get lost in the game world fun.

Does it have auto pipelines now for water and auto build electric lines? That's what always turned me off to it. All those lines I had to connect and run.

Yep!
Now you can concentrate on putting together a city - I hated having to micromanage stuff that a city manager or mayor would never even think about.

Also single player is now enabled and the biggest deal for me is you can tailor cities to a particular specialization so they can all work together.

Not my favorite game by any means but definitely the best of the Sim Cities and gets 4 or 5 hours a week out of me when out of the clear blue an idea about how to build a better more efficient city hits me.

So, is it Sim City IV or what for the title now. I might give it a looksee since they took out all that micromanagement.

I just came back to Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. From 2004 or so until 2008 I used to play a lot. A lot of fun [:)]

But this time we play in tandem. I convinced my best mate to join the massacre so we join the same server

That game has absolutely no right to be fun to play.

Loving it....

Haven't had much free time over the last few weeks, so I mostly just get in a couple rounds of CS:GO on a daily basis. When I do have free time it's been taken up by my new-found interest in board games. Specifically the Pathfinder card game which is quite fun.

I've been hankering for some tactical WW2 goodness, but can't decide between SPWAW or JT's Campaign Series. I already have both (thanks to sale induced impulse buys) but have yet to master the basics of either. I'm thinking about doing a US Marine campaign in the Pacific, which do you guys think would be better?
