I just got Sid Meier's Civ V and I don't think I'm ever going to peel myself away from it. It's also been good as far as thinking over story concepts are concerned, because it presents a lot of scenarios that make my terrible brain figuratively jump up and down in glee.
Such as Genghis Khan, Naval Overlord and Kamehameha's SCIENCE EMPIRE and all sorts of things. I just wish it had more sophisticated espionage and diplomacy mechanisms, along with more room for...politics, I guess, but that's just my lifelong desire to see a decent intrigue/espionage game set in a good, well-developed pre-industrial setting rearing its ugly head.
No, lifelong desire. Sleep. That will never happen.
In other news, I've been enjoying Far Cry 3 a whole lot, because it's pretty well-written and full of terrible dudes who I am secretly glad are not real. I just wish the protagonist wasn't Jason because Jason is an enormous tool and I'm sick and tired of straight white male protagonists in pretty much anything.
I really want to replay New Vegas, Mass Effect trilogy, along with the entire Assassin's Creed series. Mostly II, III and Revelations, though. Brotherhood just didn't do it for me.
So, yeah. Games! Mostly I complain about them and ruin everyone's fun.
