[OT] Online games - what are YOU playing?
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:55 pm
I enjoy playing online video games, and thought it might be fun to share some of the ones I've found.
My go-to game, which I find myself playing daily, is Blueprint Billiards. It's video 9-Ball against eight progressively harder computer opponents. My daily challenge is to get through all eight in a row without a loss. I've managed it a few times, but it is not easy.
I found another fun two weeks ago called Phage Wars, and then moved onto the sequel Phage Wars 2 last week.
The premise is a bit strange: you control a virus, competing with other viruses to control a petri dish. It's basically a real-time tactical game where you manage your "troops" and take territory. Phage Wars 2 adds a new feature: you gain various new genes with each victory which are used to customize your virus' abilities to fit your style of play. The right combination of genes can give you a huge advantage.
So, check these out, and if you have any games you enjoy, please post a link in this thread.
