Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour Developer: EA Games Year: 2003 Platform: PC (Steam) While this series has had some very popular games, I think Generals Zero Hour has been my favorite of the bunch. So, when I get tired of building cities, now I can also just try to wipe out the...

I’m at work. I’ll make my selection this evening.

This draft has been strange for me. I assume that the games I and my friends play and love are the same as everyone else's (more like the movie drafts, for instance). Then we start and other than a few selections (Tetris and Super Mario Bros in particular) my list is still fairly intact. But...

SimCity 2000 Special Edition Developer: Maxis Year: 1995 Platform: PC The granddaddy of all "recent" sim building games, I fell in love with this the moment I started playing. As an engineer by trade, this game speaks to my desire for order, organization, efficiency, and "watching something I...

Hey, I’ve got racing and jumping through hoops (ok, “portals”, same thing)! Doesn’t that count? 😉

Same here. I haven't even heard of 12 games picked and other than my picks I've played 6 of them (Diablo, Diablo II, Quake, Oregon Trail (back what, 40 years ago?), Tetris, and Super Mario Bros.). Some games like Witcher I know the name from a TV show I never watched and don't think I knew it...

Mario Kart Wii Developer: Nintendo Year: 2008 Platform: Wii OK, most of you may know by now I generally don't like console games. I'm old school - grew up using a mouse and keyboard. I can't play an FPS on a console to save my life. If I can't use the mouse with an inverted Y axis I'm...

First ever 7 team trade, apparently.

Half-Life Developer: Valve Year: 1998 Platform: PC (Steam) This game came out with a fantastic single player game component (including puzzles, some tough enemies, and great set piece action), awesome gameplay, fun weapons (headcrabs!), and built-in deathmatch. Long after I played the single...

My wife and I caught F1 today in the theater. It's a good movie. Yes, the plot is a bit stale, but it is well acted, the racing scenes are well shot, and the music is good (both the Hans Zimmer compositions as well as the "regular" song selection). We both really enjoyed it.

Diablo IV Developer: Blizzard Entertainment Year: 2023 Platform: PC I was beginning to worry that this wouldn't be available for me after the last handful of picks! I live "in the country" and internet service has been generally lousy for most of my life. As such, many of the games I play...
