In addition to the game I played this month, I’ve decided from now on to include a running total of the top games to see if/how they change with time. For example, when I wasn’t paying attention, Saints Row: The Third made the Top 7. (Which, raptr, is a weird number. Usually these things are [...]

First of all, a quick reminder that my Game of the Year doesn’t necessarily have to come out in 2012. Because I don’t have the time to dedicate to video games, the price premium of buying it new rarely makes sense to me. So my Game of the Year will be my favorite game that [...]

Civilization V (17 hrs) – I took advantage of the Steam Fall Sale to finally pick up the Gods and Kings expansion to Civ V. I have enjoyed founding my own religion, Otakuism. Religion plays a much more key role than they did in Civ IV. In the previous game, I would pretty much just [...]

Team Fortress 2 (5 hrs) – a lot of this time was spent testing out my new private server which I described setting up in this post. Civilization V (1 hr) – played a little bit in the game I’m documenting at onemoreturn.ericsbinaryworld.com . Been too busy to play much more than that. Saints Row: [...]

I first heard about virtual machines about six to seven years ago. I couldn’t see a point in wanting to run another computer inside your computer. A few years ago I used VMs to test and blog about Linux distros. In the past year I’ve used it to preview new features in Fedora while the [...]

Mass Effect 2 (19 hrs) – I knew my wife was getting close to delivering our first child, so I was rushing as quickly as I could to save the galaxy. I got to it with one week to spare. Phew! I didn’t enjoy the story as much as Mass Effect 1, but the gameplay [...]

There aren’t any new games on here, so I’m only going to mention some quick comments on each. Plants vs Zombies (29 hrs) – threw a bunch of hours into this game because I just had a handful of achievements left and for some reason I wanted to finish it off. 2 or 3 to [...]

Civilization V (75 hrs) – What can I say about this game that I haven’t said already? This is the series that made “One More More Turn…” famous and it still works today. If I were to start a game tonight, I would not go to bed at a reasonable time. Team Fortress 2 (70 [...]

With school over I had plenty of time to get back into video games last month. I had a blast! Team Fortress 2 (6 hrs) – Got back into this game because my brother-in-law wanted to play it. I’d forgotten how awesomely fun it is to play this game! Plants vs Zombies (5 hrs) – [...]

My graduate degree has stemmed my play time this month. This is all I was able to put in. Mass Effect 2 (1 hr) Team Fortress 2 (41 min)

For those who are new readers, I’m keeping track of the games I’m playing monthly (via Raptr) and then writing a little blurb on the games. This is in prep for my year-end blog post. Team Fortress 2 (4 hrs) – I continue to really enjoy this game. I think of all of non-story-based games [...]

Mass Effect (2 hrs) – Dan tells me that if I don’t go for the optional quests, I could be near the end. After the next major story beat I’m probably going to write up my next Mass Effect blog post. I’m really enjoying the fiction. Team Fortress 2 (60 hrs) – I didn’t think [...]
