How is NOS undercover?  I bought NOS Shift but wasn't all that thrilled by it, was undercover a better game?

That started out as a Xbox 360 title didn''t it Pat?  I seem to remember playing that on my 360

yep! it's basically a supply chain builder of sorts!  Cute...I'd love to have my kids play it, BUT the problem is the Gamersgate version installs in such a way that you need to log in as the Admin (or have Admin privs) in order to play it...and so far no help from Ninjabee or GG on that issue, which kind of sucks!

pat!

Yesterday i digged Rome Total War out of the dust.  It's a bit old but i still love it and it works fine with Windows 7.

Recently I've been back into C&C Generals:Zero Hour. It is an RTS that coulda been great, but EA games dropped it and didn't want to improve it or expand on it. Minor improvements to the user interface would make it better, and additional strategic resources would improve it, but making maps for it is relatively easy. It is fun to make a pretty map, then go dirty it up and set it on fire.

Two days ago I reinstalled Rise of Nations. I haven't had time to play it, though I've spent time re-learning how it's played. 'Tis an interesting game, but the fun factor is low. It lacks the comedy found in Stronghold crusaders and C&CC Generals, but the polish on this game is excellent. This game is well designed in all aspects.

Am looking for a new RTS to sink my teeth into but they're non-existant. RTS has fallen by the wayside and it seems that FPS and RPGs rule the roost now. I like the adrenaline rush you get from RTS. Am looking for suggestions. If anyone knows of a worthy RTS, please advise.

Lately I've been playing LittleBigPlanet 2 on the PS3...  The game portion is entertaining and fun, but I'm finding most of my enjoyment in it's elaborate Create mode, amking custom levels and gadgets...  On the PC, I've been interested in Elemental, but am waiting for yet more fixes and tweaks to the game before I dig in too thoroughally.

I'v gotten back into Civ V quite a bit, and am working my way up the difficulty ladder (but damn does this game take the time away, oh I will play just half an hour more - 3 hours later... [I still have a gripe with diplomacy... I have 1300pts, Washington has 1800 - I am playing on hard, and somehow this guy is light years ahead of everyone... but otherwise I am in second place.  We are at war and he keeps trying to do a peace treaty, but wants all my money, every resource I can give, and at least 8 of my cities, if I try to change it, even down one city just to see what will happen he says something along the lines: "Pshhhh - Yea, like that is anything close to a fair trade, NO!"... WTF!])

Lots of Minecraft, The Witcher (been meaning to beat it, but I am finding the final chapter kind of boring), Team Fortress Classic

Back on the Patrician 4 train!!!  But I just bought STALKER: Call of Pripyat Collector's Ed for $19...so that's on my radar, too...

pat!

The world domination aspect of Rise of Nations is pretty cool. Adds some long term objectives beyond just a single map. But there are two things that bug me about the game. One, is how it is so hard to differentiate between the various military units, particularly since each nation has a slight different look between their units and because each of the many ages changes the look of your units. You just get use to the look of the different units for your age and then you advance to a new age and have to figure it out all over again. So I never really know what I am fighting against and what I should be using. The second problem with it is there are no walls of any sort. So besides planting a row of defensive turrets there is no way to impede the enemy troops from entering your cities.

One rts series I like is the Supreme Commander series. The original on its own is actually pretty lame, but with the expansion its really good. Supreme Commander 2 is also pretty good but sadly they take out as much depth as they add, so you lose some strategic elements but gain some new ones (Isn't that always the way?).
