Aliens: Dark Descent
As someone who has never paid much attention to the Alien franchise, it’s natural that I never looked all that into its titles. I remember playing a first-person shooter demo for Sega Saturn when I was a small lad, but other than that, I can’t remember ever playing an Alien game. However, I read so many positive things online about Aliens: Dark Descent that I had to give it a go, even if it was just for the “semi-professional purpose” of doing it for Strategy and Wargaming. You can see that’s one of the ways I justify buying games without feeling guilty. In all fairness, the game really does look fantastic and the 3 hours I put into its first and second missions have me excited for what’s coming next, even if it still doesn’t make me care all that much for the franchise.
Supreme Commander
My podcast co-hosts at Critical Moves are always going on and on about how great Supreme Commander is, and how it’s one of the best strategy games ever made. A confession: I have never played them for more than just a couple of hours, way too long ago. The reason for that is sad, yet simple: you couldn’t buy them in Portugal when they came out. See, during a time when physical disks were required and you had no internet access, if you couldn’t find a game at a store, you were out of luck, and that’s what happened to me. I never played it, because I didn’t even know it existed until some years later.
