The non-thanksgiving thanksgiving weekend gaming thread

It has been all about Mark of the Ninja. YOU NEED THIS GAME if you don't already own it. Just a blast.

Just bought the game this morning....now downloading......very strange for me, so far this is the only game I have bought during the holiday sales:)  Maybe my impulse buying days are over.

Great little title so far, well worth the $7....plays like a game from the past and fun.  Glad I took the plunge.

Listen to this man's testimony! You got 24 more hours to follow in his brilliant footsteps, boys!  ;D

Yet again, I'm playing the 'Lets download my new purchases' game, which offers very repetitive game play and static, dull graphics. Then again, it's football day so I don't really mind it running in the background.

I picked up Bioshock 2 for 4.99 on Steam today in anticipation of the upcoming Bioshock Infinite.

It's been a Warlock weekend for me.  A short game of Civ IV as my opponent was being a douche and I bailed.

Being in an Econ-game mode, I took the opportunity to buy the old Railroad Tycoon 2 Platinum for Two-Fitty.

I really want a historical grand strategy with lots of economy hustling involved but the offers out there just don't quite cut it.  Victoria 2 is.. well.. I think most of us who've tried that out knows already.  The only other one on the same level would be PrON but.. the remaining event bugs still make me hesitate, especially since the turn resolution times mean that those bugs are felt much more sharply when such large amounts of time are needed to progress in it.  So I'm just back to the plain econ games :-[

I shouldn't complain too much, though, because I do have the aforementioned RT2 and it's obviously a good one despite it's dusty old age.  I also have Port Royale 3,  and other similar ones such as The Guild 2 Renaissance and the sci-fi action-trader types like Evochron:Mercenary, Black Market, and Space Rangers 2 Reboot to name a few.   Although I'm currently looking more for a grand strategy style econ game, as opposed to a big mix like those.

Anyway.. I think Rail Tycoon 2 and Port Royale 3 are today's muses.

Been messing about with L4D2 a bit, but signle player is not that great. It does, however, give you a chance to get familiar with the levels.

On the other hand, Warlock has again been the big one for me, a bit of a new campaign done, but especially the MP games with MD. very entertaining.

Just a thought here, I wonder if the game allows other players to jump into an existing MP game?
