Civilization 5 and More

December 02, 2010 by Adam in Adam's Games

I occasionally get a few moments to play games these days.  I've been slowly playing through a game of Civilization 5, and managed to win the space race.  Last night Sam and I played a game of Civilization 5 together, which turned out to be rather fun as well.  His Russian empire joined up with my Roman one and we proceeded to take over much of the main continent of our world.

With my limited time, casual games are in favor with me.  Bob Came In Pieces was somewhat fun, rocketing about and reassembling myself.  I picked up some rhythm games, but only played a little.  Sometimes I just watch Sam play his assorted games, and long for the days when I had hours of free time to burn.

Sam and I played some Titan Quest with Josh a couple weeks ago, stopping when crash bugs made it not fun.  I have some more coop gaming fun planned for the winter break.

I Actually Finished a Game

So I finally finished a video game this week - Mass Effect 2. I started it about a year ago, and it was a very high quality "save the galaxy" sort of game. My game playing time has shrunk to a bare minimum, usually an hour or so a week. All my free time has been filling up with the necessities of taking care of the house and small children. Last night Joanna crashed at eight o'clock, Sam was watching a show after stair-stepping, and I had a little time to myself. I did laundry, packed lunches for small children, unloaded the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, and had a bowl of cereal.

I do have Civilization 5 on the way, and I hear that taking over the world is even more fun than Civilization 4. I'm also looking around for a new game to play with Sam. We finished up Resident Evil 5 together, which was a lot of fun. Maybe I'll play a little Bioshock 2 or something until then. In my free time. Whenever that is.
