    The best strategy games

    I love strategy games, and although I love elements of Command & conquer, and starcraft, my favourite style of strategy game will always be turn-based, with no time-limit on how long I can mull over my decisions. Civilisation will always be one of the greatest series ever for me, with the...

    Adult opinions on minecraft?

    When you've had a hard day at work and want to come home and unwind, theres sometimes nothing better than coming home and chilling out in your single-player World, free from the stresses and strains of real-life. If I want a more adult minecraft-style gaming experience I'll play seven days to...

    Where do you buy your games?

    I love to go down to my local gamestop and have a dig through their second-hand PC games. I nearly always end up buying something for a small price. Sometimes the games won't work on my system for whatever reason but they're so cheap that it doesn't matter. I'll occasionally buy a new game there...

    Contractual agreement...

    No matter how good the game, eventually you're going to hate it. I've never encountered a game that at some point I haven't thought 'Well, thats enough of that for a bit'. If I was forced to, I would probably go for a hard-core strategy game, as they are the ones that I find the most relaxing...

    Game recorder apps

    Yes, it was my golden find of the year in terms of free software. OBS and VSDC are two of the three essentials. I might as well mention the third one as well, which is Audacity to clean up your sound files as well, its also free and very easy to use. I particularly like the fact that all of...

    Rockstar Games Appreciation Thread

    The very first GTA was ground breaking for being one of the first true open-world experiences. The top down style was annoying in the way you could never drive too fast without crashing full tilt into something but I still played it for hours and hours. Rockstar kept that alive and helped such...

    Too old to play games?

    You're 37 ? What are you worrying about youngster ? I'm 44 and have been gaming since I had Manic Miner on my Sinclair Spectrum back in 1983. I don't know who's telling you you're too old to play games but maybe you should remind them they're not the gaming police. Theres a ton of people...

    Game recorder apps

    I can't recommend OBS enough, its free, very easy to use, with plenty of tutorials on Youtube to help you with all common problems, and it also is calibrated to make it very easy to use to stream, if thats what you want to do. I commonly use it to record my screen and then any editing I want to...

    Obsessed with 7 Days to die

    I'm an addict, a hopeless addict. I spend my evenings hiding in a dark attic and my days scavaging, killing zombies and fortifying my base. I'm a hopeless 7 days to die addict and spend every spare moment either watching streams of it or playing it. I know its been over 2 years since the first...

    What game stands the test of time?

    Some games are just so good, they can never get old to me. Doom II, I've been designing my Own WAD levels since at least about 1999 and have no intention of stopping anytime soon. Civ II, the hours I've spent playing that little beauty, Pharaoh, a fantastic city builder with a great UI. All of...
