A fun $10 game called Fort Zombie.
It has some flaws, but it's worth the price IMO. It's also pretty difficult at first.
The gist is that you arrive in a town, and have to first make your way to the building you'll use as your fort (Police Station, Prison, or School). This is really the hardest part, and I died several times just trying to get there. You have to walk, not run, and use melee, not guns. Ducking into houses helps. Once there, you have 12 days to go out on missions gathering supplies and weapons, recruiting survivors, and fortifying your fort. After 12 days, tons of zombies attack your fort.
It's more an RPG than action or 3rd-person shooter. The zombies and your AI teammates can easily get hung up on walls, fences, and other obstacles, and sometimes people will clip through doors or walls. If you don't mind the difficulty, the clunky controls, and sometimes irritating AI, it's fun. And only $10.

Finally found a link to Stalin's Dilemma again, so I'm playing that.  Let's see how many Ukrainians I can murder.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

A couple of hours into Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and it's even better than AC2, which was phenomenal.

Finished the storyline of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance a couple days ago, currently completing a 93% game on LEGO Batman.  All the grand strategy stuff sounds awesome, but I don't have the patience for it- last time I even played an RTS was C&C: Tiberian Sun. :blush:

Apparently the problem resides in my save being quite old (I've started this game on release day). I might aswell restart.

Played the second Fallout New Vegas DLC, where you go to Zion and deal with a bunch of tribals.  Went back to a save with a level 29 character, so pretty much everything I encountered was a pushover.  Though I'm not too big on the mutated animal thing, it was cool to get to fight Yao Guai again.  It's a lot shorter than the first DLC, but the Zion National Park scenery is gorgeous.  I want to go there even more than I did before.

Probably the most valuable thing about this DLC is that it provides more backstory to Caesar & Joshua Graham, and it sheds a little more light on the "other courier".  I was hoping I would get some more details on how the Legion lost Hoover Dam, though.  You learn more about what happened after, particularly the Burned Man thing, but I was hoping it would tell you why Graham lost the battle (other than being outnumbered).  He seems like he was a pretty capable Legate, so did he make a tactical error, did he flake out, or did he perform as best as he could & was simply outnumbered?

I've been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2 in the last week.  I have had it for a while but the free-to-play promotion sparked interest.  What a fun game if you find the right server.  :D

Okay, noob question:

recently I felt the urge to play Railroad Tycoon 2 again after years, and installed it on my current laptop, but the pc is too fast and the map scrolling is almost unusable, because it throws me from one side of the map to the other too quickly, and the game becomes unplayable: I've inadvertently laid a stretch of rails across the whole Australia because I lacked fine control  :mad:

Is there some way to slow the pc down (I never thought I could say something like that!), so that the game becomes enjoyable again and not the actual pain in the ass?

Something like this? http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/

Generally, you need some kind of a slowdown program, or else you need to run an emulator or a virtual machine to get the system to behave correctly.
