    Greece - A New Hope

    Not sure if you guys are getting any/much coverage of the elections in Greece but a radical anti austerity party has arisen and come just 2 seats short of a majority this week.

    Fall from Heaven II (Civ IV full mod)

    Seen this recommended a number of times in the past and been playing it for the first time the last few days. Only scratching the surface at the moment but already seeing why it is so highly and so often praised. It just blows away anything Sid Meier has done with the series in the last 20...

    Fallen Enchantress - Legendary Heroes

    FE:LH released this last week. A high fantasy 'Civlization' clone but deeper and improved upon in all sorts of ways. Stardock really messed up when they released War of Magic. For me with the development of FE : LH they have righted a lot of wrongs and really turned it around. Dev...

    Silver Linings Playbook

    I know some folks don't think much of this movie, but it deserves its own thread. Thing is with this I suspect you need to know someone with the sort of mental illness the character Bradley Cooper plays has to really get a lot from it. Actually thought Jennifer Lawrences character was the...
