I recently got back into fiddling with Introversion's "Uplink", after amusing myself with the demo of their "Defcon" game. Both of those games appeal to me because of the potential (or, in the case of the latter, inherent and mandatory) depravity, methinks.

I liked King's Bounty: The Legend. The combat is more strategic than HoMM, and the overland map is goodie-heaven which is pretty fun. I kept a forum thread journal type thing while I was playing if you want to get an idea of what you can do in the game.

I just played through "A Vampyre Story", the new adventure/puzzle from maker(s) of the legendary Monkey Islands.

And damn was it awesome. Of course I got annoyed when I got stuck, but the game has insane amounts of witty dialogue with the main character and his sidekick. When you try out odd combinations of actions, you often get rewarded with a funny piece of dialogue. The story is alright and graphics quite pretty for a adventure game, althought there are some graphical clitches.

The game also has some annoying bugs that'll prevent you from advancing, but if you remember to patch before you start your first game, they'll be fixed.

If you liked Monkey Islands, you will like "A Vampyre Story". 12 hours of my life well spent.

Has anyone tried out the Sam & Max adventure games? I heard that the first season or something is on Wii and I was wondering if I should grab that.

I played two or three of the new Sam and Max games, and liked them a lot. I'd guess they'd be fine on Wii or PC, so I'd recommend comparing prices.

Currently it's dwarf fortress and alpha centauri for me.

And if you include non-computer games, D&D.

I've a new favorite:

Battleforge!

I never believed i can love RTS that much but battleforge (official a MMORTS - massively multiplayer online realtime strategy game) made me addicted!

I was involed in the beta and i had really a lot of fun with this game. It has a PvP and a PvE mode, you can use cards to create your playing deck.

The game comes out this days. I think the servers are up from now on.

More Infos here: http://forums.battleforge.com/forum/

If interested there is a demo mode where you can play with a standard deck. You just need to install the client: (~2,4 gb)

http://forums.battleforge.com/forum/...ead.php?t=5317

(you need an EA account for login)
