Shogun 2 total war, Dead space 2, the new X-com coming this year?, i'm inclined to buy those, but i'm not sure.

Nice games list we have here :D

Thanks again, I'm impressed too as I didn't think my game would be appreciated, thanks a lot!.

Very good detailed info AR, I'm going to keep in mind what you said for making the game better.

I am working with another person making the sequel right now!, stay tuned, I might release the sequel in 1 month or so. :D

Besides "Deus Ex 3" and "Portal 2", what other games are you waiting to buy this year?.

Thanks a lot for the really nice comments , I'm going to have in mind all the suggestions for the sequel.

My first flash game "Zombie home run" got released yesterday, it is made in Flixel, try it  .

You have a baseball bat with which you hit zombies to make them bounce around and make combos for points, it has a story and survival mode.

Here's the link to it: http://www.playtowerdefensegames.com/games/1022/play.html

I bought many games from Steam holiday sale, got Operation Flashpoint for 3$, that's insane for such an incredible game, and 5$ for the Witcher, I can't believe it   .

I too thought Oblivion was boring... nice graphics and all but gameplay wise its very dissapointing.

I hope you do great. And welcome

What will you work on? flash games? unity? game maker? c++?.
What is your plan to live off of games you make?.

I got in contact with a nice writer   we are working together now.
So I guess I don't need another writer, for now, maybe in the future I will.

I used both, I think it's better for you to learn to use AS3, it is not just used for games, so it will open many more profesional posibilities for you, also you could put ads to it, seek a sponsor for it, and there is the potential for it to be played by more people since they can be so easely spread over the web and be played anywhere.

Recettear would be nice to have, it looks interesting :D

Sure, I will donate send me your email.

I think it's to help create a community, to invest in the community instead of investing in deals for individuals, I have never seen a deal like this, very innovative.

Any game, I don't care, it's a fun thing to do Vote, so we agree on something.

I have an awesome idea, what if all of us give 2 dollars each into one paypal account and buy one game for everyone? (I have just 2 dollars in my paypal account  )

oh i see... 

Can I have some asylum?

(how come I have numbers instead of my name?)

Well, it's a flash game, like Darklands

but with different battle mechanics. I have a working prototype on FGL, only the storytelling part working without graphics and battle system, which I am working on right now.

I am the programmer, game designer, and artist, I would need to get story writing, music and sounds from other people.

I want to finish it by mid december.

Details on the story and setting are not resolved yet (I need the help of a good writer to arrive at something interesting and worthy of sequels), only that it is a fantasy rpg full of monsters, swords, armor, abilities, villages, castles, dungeons, and adventures.

Sure, games have become something much more easy to play and I think that was needed in order to reach a wider audience.

My mother plays a game that you just have to click on thing to collect money and then you use the money to build things, and that's it, there is no more to it, it's so simple and mindless that it's hard to believe people enjoy playing it (well it's social and it has a lot of content...), but that's my personal point of view... But also at the same time my mother plays Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun (an RTS), and she enjoys both...

I think that there is a place for all types of games, hard and easy, mindless and puzzle oriented, challengeless and full of challenge, but in your case I think that you mixed two types of incompatible mechanics, in a way that does not contribute to the enjoyment of your game (otherwise people would praise your design decision). It does not have anything to do with the "dumbing down" of games, even though this is actually happening.

I see games as part of life. In life there is place for eating an ice cream on a hot day, and also there is place for winning a soccer championship, I think both things have earned a place in life for being valuable experiences in their own terms.
