What Other PC Games Does Everyone Play?

Both games are RTS (Real Time Strategy). Sins has a steep learning curve, but will keep you busy for hours. Just started Shattered Suns, looks similiar to Sins.
 
In congruence with my incessant wanderings of the 'net, I've stumbled upon a wicked little post-apocalyptic game from a design school in New Zealand. The game revolves around team-based vehicular combat, where your goal is to protect fuel trucks from an indestructible monstrosity of a tank known as "Goliath" and its horde of killer airborne drones. First, you must repair a Fuel Depot to get the trucks rolling, then a Repair Depot to fix and re-arm vehicles, as well as to be able to build missile-launching trucks.

The other members of your team are, sadly, only able to be controlled by AI as the game was never fully developed, but there's apparently a program that makes multiplayer possible.

What? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> It's fun! Minus the fact that the computer tries to melt while I'm playing it, of course. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Define <i>fun</i>! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> From your mouth it sounds like a mindless arcade game and I don't like arcade! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
I guess you won't like it then. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Unless I get a chance to hand my opponents asses to my opponents. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Well, you can't destroy the tank, but you can stop it by destroying all its weapons. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> Then, you get to fight with the pesky drones. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Persistent little bastards, they are. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Hi,

Grand Theft Auto IV....brilliant, not cartoony anymore. Gives your computer a run for it's money though.
 
So I've heard. Oh well - that's what friends with high-end computers are for. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Have you got the power armor (there's mods for it that makes it better) and minigun (I saw some mods that make that weapon a kick ass.. I suggest getting those mods <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />) in that game? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
I have the Power Armor and Harkness's (A3-21's) plasma rifle. My companion Fawkes has a Gatling Laser.

Oh yeah, I also have the Fat Man with a dozen or so mini-nukes.

We can get pretty much get anything done that needs doing. Playing through with no mods/cheats first, then I'll start messing with it. Dogmeat is also pretty helpful.
 
I still think Fallout 3 should have had bigger game world. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
 
I never played the previous installments of Fallout, but Rupert turned me on to this version.

Wicked. Might be better than Oblivion, bite my tounge...ouch!!!
