The best X you've never Y'ed - Jul. 12, '10, 9:54 am
In this case, "game" and "play".See, I* won a bunch of workplace contests by which I obtain access to free games of choice. These tend to be so-called AAA titles, and in this summer of releases have been some things I typically wouldn't get - and admittedly some I definitely would. I knew Just Cause 2 and Crackdown 2 would be winners, but Lost Planet 2 and Transformers most likely not. So far I've been right every time.
But here's the thing - the PC gaming scene is just so much more vibrant and interesting that I keep getting distracted by utter randomness.
Current obsession: Minecraft (see below). It's a first person ... uh. We don't have a genre yet for this, I suppose. A constructer? FPC? Heh. Anyway, it's in its early stages yet, but I really like the cubetastic approach and barebones aesthetics. I just hope the developer can really focus on the mode *I* like (survival) and make it into the nethack/lego hybrid that I want
Well, it just seems so well suited to the lone, fragile demigod (turn wood into planks with your bare hands, crush boulders likewise! - and yet, 3 hits from a zombie and you die) sandbox, I find it difficult to find the game in the multiplayer mode. Screens below of my very very early (like, first 10 minutes, 8 of which is spent finding a decent spot to start, and 1 spent panicking because the sun is setting, then 1 frantically trying to build a hiding place).The other is World of Tanks, which is in closed beta and I can't really talk about it. It's on this list though, isn't it.
Oh, and now this guy is making his next installment of freeform space sim. I can't keep up.

I'll wait for the SC II mod. Want me some RTS dorfs.
