Empire: Total War looks impressive, but there are definitely technical issues…
It feels somewhat weird for me to play the 360 these days since I switched over to the PC with Dawn of War II. Ever since then, I’ve been doing most of my gaming on the PC and I guess that’s a good thing since I do have a backlog there. And thankfully, it’s shorter than my 360 backlog. This week hasn’t been too eventful in gaming, but I can mention a few games:
Sins of a Solar Empire (PC) – I just started playing this game this past week, and it’s been the centerpiece for my gaming sessions these past few evenings. It’s pretty much Civilization in space but in real time, so it has enough going on that I’m enjoying it. I’ll put out some impressions on it next week.
Empire: Total War (PC) – With its recent price drop to $30 and it continuing to be in the top 10 PC game sales, I decided to check out the demo by downloading it off Steam. I guess the user reviews for the game is right. It is very buggy. It’s not just buggy, but very resource intensive. In any case, I’m not too big a fan of that period of war anyway. I guess I’ll skip out on this one.
Mother 3 (GBA) – Still playing this on my commute to work each day (when I’m not sleeping on the subway) and I continue to enjoy it. I’m almost halfway through and it’s just a nice simple RPG game that I can play without thinking too much. I’ll put out some detailed impressions soon.
Pure (360) – Ended up ordering it off Amazon when it went on sale for $20 this past week and I got it the next day. I haven’t had a chance to open it yet, but maybe I’ll end up playing it next after Conan since it seems mindless enough. People say it’s like the next version of SSX, which can’t be all that bad…
Mother, Sins of a Solar Empire, Total War
