Yeah...

Like I said though, it's like Command & Conquer or even one of the Total War games. Except now, whenever you win battles/war/etc. you get to see boobies.

Sounds hawt. Not really my thing though, not into anime. Or anything Japanese.

C&C loses out to Civilization. Civ 5 is amazing if played on the right computer.

Saints Row the Third all day!
A young merc terminally ill with cancer, I signed on for a government "human weapon" program: Weapon X. They got rid of the cancer like they promised...sorta...by melding an advanced healing factor to it. The gruesome experiments left me physically and mentally scarred, so they put me in a mental ward where the guards held a dead pool. I escaped and rose to infamy, partly a hero.

For falling in love with a physical avatar of Death, I was cursed with life. I pissed off a divine power so that I could be with her again, but it failed. After I got struck down by some powerful lighting, I came back to life...as a breathing corpse. Fuck.

Did it occur to anyone that the game series Halo, Gears of War and Resistance are suprising alike in their strory lines?

I'll elaborate: In all three games there features Humans battling non-humans in a war that the humans are losing. In all three games, there is some viral parasitic life-form...thing i.e The Flood from Halo, The Lambent from Gears of War and the Chrimea form Resistance. Outside of the game, all three games are also benchmarks for their consols

And now that I think of it, that game Metroid is suspiciously similar to Halo...

Ok honestly, if you're looking for a storyline in a FPS/ 3PS then watch a movie.

My only concern is that the digital market is becoming too fragmented now. Just a year ago you could get all the same games on Direct 2 Drive, Steam, or whatever and you were free to simply stick with your "platform" of choice.

Then EA comes along and throws their dummy out of their pram, now I will have to use Steam for some games and Origin for others, starting with Battlefield 3. Then some other arsehole company will do their own with exclusive games. I'm sorry but I just don't want lots of them on my PC.


EA lack creatibity and thrive on monopolies and advertising rather than making 'good' games. PC FTW :D

I'm just saying the storylines in video games are laughable, thats all.

They're just a sub genre of visual novels anyway. I have to play Umineko one day. I got them all downloaded.

Company of Heroes
Men of War
Blood Bowl

The only thing I don't like about Blood Bowl is that it's hard or even impossible to buy new players for your team that are anywhere close to the level of your current team. It's like a Premier league team signing on a pub-league player. And what's worse is that the AI teams don't seem to suffer from this problem.

I've never seen the appeal of Age of Empires; it just seems like a mediocre RTS version of the Civilization series.

Left 4 Dead seems good, but I prefer Zombie Panic as you get to be the zombies.

I like Age Of Empires because it shows me what I'm doing, not just telling me where my civilization is going.

I like feeling involved, and the Civ games just don't cut it for me.
