    If all electronic games were unusuable tomorrow, what games will you play?

    As far as board games go, I would be bringing out Settlers of Catan. It is really an incredible strategy game that is sure to stand the test of time. I also concur with you in that I too would bring out RISK to play with friends. If I need to go single player, however, I would try something like...

    Favorite game music

    One of my favorite video game soundtracks is the one from Assassin's Creed 2. The composer captured elements of Italy perfectly in his compositions. I also enjoy the theme song from Assassin's Creed 3 and the ending song in Black Flag. This franchise in general has just had great success with...

    do you pay for games

    I have payed for a few mobile games, but only the ones that cost 99 cents. One of my favorites that occupied a lot of my time is Plants vs. Zombies. It is a fun strategy/tower defense style game that has its own unique theme. The thing about free mobile games is that most of them have in game...

    Mobile game to play over the holidays?

    Plague Inc. is quite an entertaining mobile game that has occupied a few of my hours. I also recommend Plants vs. Zombies. The latter does have in-game purchase options, but the whole thing can be played through without the need for buying them. Since you mentioned studying, I would focus on that.

    In-Game Purchases

    I make it a personal commitment not to buy in game purchases. I refuse to throw money down the drain for something that usually just takes a little extra effort or waiting time. It's a shame that so many games resort to this instead of just having an upfront price for access to all of the game's...

    What Genre of Game Do You Like Better?

    My favorite genre of game as a kid was grand strategy. I'm talking about games like Age of Empires, Empire Earth, and Stronghold Crusader. It's really fun to have a bird's-eye view of the kingdom you are building. As I've gotten older, I've come to like role playing games and first person...

    Hey guys! Recommend me some cheap PC games that I can sink time into!

    If you're into browser games I would recommend giving SAS Zombie Assault 4 a try. There's not too much content, but you could definitely spend a few hours on the fun and free multiplayer mode. If you have Steam, grab Portal 2 and give it a go. I have yet to hear from someone who is dissatisfied...

    Do you play browser games?

    Some of the video games that I played most often as a kid were free browser games. I played Runescape quite often until I eventually got bored of it. I also used to play a lot of random games that I would find on Addicting Games. Nowadays, most of the browser games that I play are through...

    Favorite Call of Duty?

    My personal favorite title in the Call of Duty franchise has to be Black Ops II. My favorite part of the game and the reason I still play it is the zombies mode. They perfected this game extension after the editions of the first two zombie options. My favorite map of all time has to be the...

    Steam Valentine Sale

    I think that having more frequent sales like the Valentine's day one will add even more to the overall appeal of Steam. No longer will you have to wait until summer or the holiday season to snag the best deals on some games you have been wanting to play. People will probably feel inclined to...
