I can't recommend M&B enough, up there as one of my favourite games ever, despite all its faults.

Mount & Blade 2 is in the works i hear that you will be able to lateral step with the horses. I never get sick of warband. Do you play multiplayer? I'm always on the GK siege server.

Haven't played a whole lot of multiplayer. A couple of friends picked it up on sale on Steam, so might have to get into it.


I'm super keen for M&B 2. The main thing I hope they do a lot of work on is the commanding and strategy side of things. Being able to equip and define certain squads would be a dream come true for me, crossbow volleys, cavalry flanks, I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

If you own an xbox and xbox live you owe it to yourslef to check out the ball of FREE fun that is Happy Wars! It's kind of like RTS meets RPG but everyone is player controlled (unless the matchmaker doesn't fill the game in which case they throw in some bots). Lots of customization and stuff too.

Yeah, I have an xbox but xbox live and newer game just do not seem like a good investement. I don't want to blow 60$ a year + games on a 7 years old console.

For those of you into flight sims which are my main PC entertainment vehicle aside from my music...

WWI - Rise of Flight RoF is free to play.. Download it and get the two free planes tat come with it .. a Spad and an Albatross.. then you can buy new planes and there are several available. Very nice piece of kit.

WWII - IL2 1946 and to be released in 2014 IL2 Battle Over Stalingrad IL2 has become the quintessential WWII flight sim. There are pretenders to the throne.. but this 12 year old product isa still the king of the hill. Some may look better but none are as versatile and as thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to this new title BoS.

Modern Day - DCS -The DCS series has multiple platforms.

I recently got back into video games after a serious 10 years hiatus, I got myself a Vita...

Currently playing Uncharted and will surely work on assassins creed once I'm done. I do not have a lot of time to play so those 2 games will probably last me a while.

Street fighterxtekken is ok but it made me wish for a vita version of Virtua fighters.

You can get cards for $40 a year. Some games you buy offer you XBL for $30 a year even.

I love my Vita! My family gave me one for my b-day this year. I travel alot and my Vita is with me all the time.

Assassins Creed and Uncharted are two great choices on the Vita. If you like puzzle-like games with cool music I also suggest Lumines....great game from the PSP was that very well remade for the Vita.

Also, if you don't have a Playstation Plus membership, I highly recommend it. For the price of a game ($50.00 USD), you can have access to a very large selection of games for free. Well worth the price.

Enjoy, this platform is just starting to get rolling.

Do they still have that famously intrusive copy protection system going on?

well I used to play ''Soldiers : Heroes of world war 2'' a lot, but I lost that game

So now it's COD and Battlefield 1942, BF Road To Rome and BF Secret Weapons.

I play Rocksmith, both guitar and bass. It makes practicing more interesting. I also play Eve Online, which is the only online game I still play.

I still like many different games, but I don't play anymore due to not enough time and not enough money to spend on playing them (mostly online games).
