to play/survive the xmas period

like total war
assassins creed 2………….bored now
age of empires
skyrim……though bored now of it
football manager…………bored now

recommendations please

From my Steam list

Mainstream

Xcom – get the Enemy Within DLC too as it improves it quite a bit
Batman Arkham Asylum (imo it’s better than the sequels)
Farcry 3 – The plots retarded but it’s still fun
Assassins creed 4 – It’s good when it’s not being assassins creed

Indie

FTL – By far the best game I’ve played in the last year
Hotline Miami – Insanely violent and very funny. The music is great too
Gunpoint – Good but over a bit quickly.
Thomas was alone – It’s just nice.

Far Cry 3 is indeed good.

Dishonoured also.

liked the first bioshock as well

middleearth and warhammer things were enjoyable mayhem

If Red Alert 2 still worked on the newer Window’s OS I’d still be playing it. Nothing C&C game that came after ever came close to it in terms of of playability and simplicity.

Final Fantasy 7 😉

It’s just been redone, and it’s available on Steam!

World of tanks is fun and free !

owt else xmas is nigh and I need to avoid the festivities but be here

You mention Skyrim… Did you play Fallout 3? If not, start with that, then move onto New Vegas. And prepare to loose the next-few-hundred hours.

New Vegas is a good way to spend a few hours days, just with trying to find everything and complete things. Then you can go an do the whole thing again as evil.

How about Civilisation? Civ 5 is new and should be able to fill up the days.

Vision impaired person’s bluff.

Final Fantasy 7

It’s just been redone, and it’s available on Steam!

It’s not very redone… But still, yeah. Best game ever.

If you’ve got bored of skyrim, don’t go directly to fallout 3, it’s the same game only (potentially) even duller.

Company of Heroes, since you like total war? It’s tactical rather than strategic, but on the plus side, doesn’t have the terrible endgame of every TW game ever.

i believe there is a conversion of jet set radio future for the pc.the game is AWESOME!as is the music.you can also get it for 360/ps3 too (i will be getting it as soon as i can get my friend to pay for it with his credit card (i don’t have a credit card myself),i will obviously reimburse him the money of course (i’m no charlatan sir/madam 😉

Dishonored is a good shout – enjoying that at the moment.

First Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite

And a must play – get hold of System Shock 2 from GoG

EDIT: Oh, and Company of Heroes – the first one
