Halo Wars – While the demo was enjoyable, it didn’t scream out as a Day 1 purchase for me. Still trying to decide, as the controller makes it pretty simplistic but it does have campaign co-op. But cmfl3x and I haven’t even finished Red Alert 3 co-op yet…

Dead Rising 2 - About time! Hope with the new developer it’s as good as the first one was.

Infinite Undiscovery - Wow. The game is actually a lot more enjoyable on these harder playthroughs. Who would have thought?

Starcraft - had a dream about it this past week. Talk about crazy – I haven’t played it in years, and here I was dreaming I was in a RT 2v2 mirror match with a Terran and Protoss on both sides. After an initial skirmish with my Terran and the enemy Terran, all was pretty quiet as I massed ground units. My Protoss partner was massing Carriers, and apparently so was the enemy Protoss player. I soon discover that the enemy Terran player was massing Battlecruisers, but I’m stuck with all these siege tanks and no air. Great. I plop down 4 Starports (where did I have this kind of money?) and begin massing Wraiths. I then send my squads of Wraiths to take out his Battlecruisers, and scan once in a while to take out the enemy Observer. Not sure how it ended up but then the alarm went off and I woke up. What the heck kind of dream is that? I don’t remember the last time I actually dreamed I was playing a game, especially in this much detail. It wasn’t even like made up stuff that would occur in a dream – all of these Starcraft game mechanics were still quite present and adhered to.

    haha so in your dream 3 out of the 4 people were massing capital ships? must not have been a very exciting game

    considering how high u got on the war3 useast ladder, i’d expect you to not get caught off guard like that. then again it was a dream, and turtling was more viable in starcraft than war3

    not the most exciting game – but i don’t know what to say. my subconscious thinks for itself and if i had a choice maybe i could have dreamed more strategy into it like reaver drops, vulture rushes, and dark templars =P

    i think what had happened was i didn’t really get too along with my RT partner (surprise surprise) since he didn’t do anything but cannon up and go carriers so i had to kind of figure out what to do on my own. the other terran and protoss basically turtled up too but i wanted to use siege tanks to slowly bust into the terran base because i figured i could end him early. apparently i was not strong enough with my push since he was able to hold me off long enough while making battlecruisers.

    now we’ve gone and done it – dissecting the strategy of a starcraft game that wasn’t even real haha
