Found my Dark Souls 2 80+ hour save missing...sooooo starting that again, apparently. Ugh, that sux. I've had it happen with other games before, usually after not playing for a while. Sometimes a game update will change the save directory or corrupt saves, too. I decided to jump into Diablo III last night, because I have gamer attention deficit disorder. Lol. That's why it takes me years to finish a game. |

I bought all Sims expansion pack there was when it first came out and played them like they were crack daily for almost a year.Sims 2 came out and it was a big letdown, prettier graphics but worse game play. I still play the new ones now every once and again but I get frustrated over some quirks in the game. The last saved game I have is my couple with 2 boys and she is pregnant with a third one, I really want a girl but no matter how far back into the game I go she always ends up with another boy. It was a very successful game in every other way, so I cannot bring myself to delete it but I doubt I will ever play that one again. Next time I play Sims, I will start from scratch and leave it there for sentimental reasons only, I did name the first boy by Ba'al's first name in real life(Don't say it if you know it, please), so that alone merits its space in my memory. I did play Myst years later than it when it came out and was quite in awe of how eerie it felt to play that game. I am currently still playing Theme Hospital, hit that epidemic level, ugh and planning on doing the last Monkey Island. I like each of the Sims for different reasons. Each version has good points and bad quirks. In Sims 3, I like that the sims have "wishes". I usually try to fulfil them as they come up. And the AI is quite good in 3 to the point where I often just let them do their own thing and not have to worry about them leaving a puddle on the floor (or worse)! Monkey Island is a good game. Have you played any of the Sam and Max games? They're the same genre and are pretty good. |

Sims 2 is the only one I was really let down by. I had just spent half a mortgage payment on Sims games and was really looking forward to Sims 2, only to find out that is took away many of the features of the game that I loved to give me those graphics.
I have not tried the Sam and Max games, I learned about Monkey Island from Ba'al but I am totally open to any games like it. I would also love to play any games like Theme Hospital too.

Theme Park is an excellent, excellent game. As is Theme Hospital and Populous: The Beginning.

I recently reverted into city building game mode - went and played through some of Pharaoh and Cleopatra, Children of the Nile, Caesar III (basically all of the City building Series). Now i've moved on to Anno 2070, I played a bunch of the anno games before but never got 2070 because of some poor reviews, but I'm actually really enjoying it. It's managed to keep the nice anno-style city building while still introducing modern twists that work well (like looking after the environment & that buffing/debuffing growth rate). I'm also still playing a lot of DotA2 because I only have 600 hours in it so far and that is clearly not enough. |

I'm currently playing Factorio (is a must for RCT, SC, TTD lovers) (www.factorio.com has free demo) And i'm thinking about giving Crest a go, looks like someone took some ideas from godus and did some good things with them (available for free gamejolt.com/games/strategy-sim/crest/26758/) |

I picked up Sleeping Dogs and all its DLC in the last Steam sale. Thinking of taking it for a whirl soon, though I heard that their Community Manager at the time was a miserable arsehole.  |

Cause, you know, I be making it rain up in here! *throws two dollars on the ground* |

22cans wasting money on other video games, how dare you! I suggest we start rioting about this immediately.
