IGN writes: "Stardock has had quite a 2008 thus far with the release of Sins of a Solar Empire, a game that has immediately established itself as a serious contender for strategy awards at the end of the year. And Stardock isn't waiting very long to unleash its next project: Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor. This is the second expansion to 2006's acclaimed space strategy game, and it packs a dizzying number of changes and improvements.
On first glance, Twilight of the Arnor looks like a highly-polished version of Galactic Civilizations II, which is saying a ton considering the fact that Stardock has spent the past couple of years polishing and improving the core game already. The lengthy feature list includes custom tech trees for each of the 12 factions, a new campaign, new music, much more. One of the biggest additions also deserves its own sentence: there are now terror stars, which are basically Death Star-like space stations that can destroy whole worlds. It seems that churning out expansions on a yearly basis allows the designers plenty of time to come up with new ideas."
From the review: "In summary, if you like GalCiv3, you will like this expansion. The primary problem with it is simply the lack of new material. Other than the Bazaar, this has the feeling of a well-done couple of DLCs. Not really worth the 20 bucks except for fans of the series."
Stardock, one of the the longest running indie developers in the video game industry, has launched an intergalactic RTS Steam sale to end all RTS Steam sales.
That's a lot of RTS games... time I just don't have! Like I need my backlog to get any bigger!
Ya it's a pretty decent sale but The Taken King, MGSV, Fallout 4 soon... too many games.
BT Games: "Most games have an ending; a limit to their structure. But some just go on forever. Here are our favourite everlasting adventures."
I agree with Rockband and Street Fighter, but I heavily disagree with the COD/BF/TitanFall games usually are only as fun as the competition which is usually laced with cheaters, 10yr olds, or the people you'd seriously worry if there was something mentally wrong with them.
If I had to put together a list:
Final Fantasy III
Super Mario 64
Tetris
Rock Band II
Busta-Move
NBA Jam
only 250? weaksauce :P
still play Skyrim on a weekly basis.
Dota 2 is climbing on to 1100 hours soon here >____<
