I have never seen that before in my entire life.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

i had written that game off, but just today i saw someone say it was actully good, and not just same old. Is this true???

It kinda is and it kinda isn't. Some parts of the campaign, I've heard, will continue on if your character gets killed. Other times, it's like any other CoD campaign; you die, you respawn at a checkpoint.

The Strike Force missions are a new thing that are kinda cool. You can assume control of different units, like a CLAW (a type of walking tank) or a normal foot soldier armed with an M8A1.

The Create-a-Class in Multiplayer looks kinda restrictive at first, but you quickly learn what you don't need for a class and what else you can take in that item's place.

For example, let's say you have a mid-ranged class with an assault rifle, 1 attachment, two Wildcards, and two Tactical grenades. You want to take a second attachment, but you're at your budget limit. You can take off one Tactical grenade, and that frees up one point to put that second attachment on your assault rifle.

I'm calling that game "C4" for "Crude Complicated Cthulhu Combat" until I get a real name.

Dominions 3, by the look of it.

I was owning with the many different types of new weapons and my custom classes. I also threw some of that owning into the campaign as well.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II (me and just about any non-Bay 12-er in the US)

The multiplayer is excellent and an improvement on the previous games. The campaign is different. It's not EXCELLENT, but it is pretty GOOD. I have also been doing pretty well in it and either get a .50 K/D ratio or a 3:1 ratio. It really depends on your team and as always if the other team gets some momentum they can be hard to beat. This of course works both ways which is how I get a lot of kills.

They're really charging $55? For a six-year-old game?

Either it's mind-blowingly awesome, or they're seriously overcharging. I could get a brand new AAA title for that much.

After taking quite awhile to find out where to build it, and a little more time figuring out how to use it, The Malevolence is now spearheading my fleet. It can stun-lock any capital ship from about half the map away, and has a huge number of guns to rip apart anything that gets close.

Empire at War: Republic at War

[Smashness]

After somehow killing a minotaur by disarming him, I managed to stumble into a polymorph trap, turning into a deinonychus. Not only is that automatically awesome because it's a dinosaur, it's also extremely fast and great at jumping.

Screw being an orc, I'd rather be a dinosaur (then again, who wouldn't?)

The Incursion Roguelike or something else ?

Hate to disagree, but I'd say it's a fantastic game which is slightly overpriced, but still worth it if you like this sort of thing.

I've always wanted to get into Roguelikes, but every time I download DOS and open it up, I see that bloody command line and just shut down mentally. Makes me feel like such a lazy bum but I always end up closing it after a minute or two of tinkering.

Nethack doesn't require DOSBox, and IMO it's one of the best "traditional" roguelikes I've ever played. There's even an official graphical version that looks quite nice, too.

IK. Played it before. Also, I'm horrible at remembering all the controls and symbols and whatnot.

Can't help you there, then. The very nature of a roguelike requires complex controls, and half the fun is using your imagination. There's also a "look" control (don't remember what it is for Nethack) that tells you what's on a specific tile.
