      @Qinhan:

      Spent the last week playing Company of Heroes 2.  A guilty pleasure.

      A friend made me buy CoH2 during Humble Bundle sale… It's the only thing I've been playing since. I haven't played a strategy game in ages, even though I used to like AoE, Sudden Strike, Command & Conquer etc. back in the days.

        ^ so addictive, isn't it?  If only my two grandfathers who fought against the axis in ww2 could see me having such a blast playing as the Wehrmacht and rolling my panzers over the top of my enemies…  Good times!

          Playing as the Wehrmacht is a blast, very true.
          Being Austrian makes that statement a bit awkward though. 😃

            Haha!

            I think the game was banned in Russia, no?  I haven't actually bothered playing the single player yet so can't comment on that aspect of the game.

              Same here, MP only, mostly coop with 2-3 friends versus CPU enemies.
              Hm you seem to be right sort of, it wasn't banned but sales have been "suspended", whatever that means.

              You should also check out Men of War: http://store.steampowered.com/app/244450
              Haven't tried it yet, but apparently it's similar CoH2, just much more realistic and more about war tactics.
              Check out that article: http://venturebeat.com/2011/08/05/three-reasons-to-play-men-of-war-instead-of-company-of-heroes/

              Gotta love them WW2 video games. 😃

                Another CoH2 player here. I loved the first one and think some of the game play tweaks in the new one are a real improvement. The voicing for the individual units has also been really well done again and the chatter you hear from certain units is hilarious.

                  resident evil 4 is my favorite game of all time.  I'm going to try and convince my roommate to buy it on his ps4… the replayability is unbelievably good.  anyone with me?

                  I played Resident Evil once, and I was too shit scared to play it again. I did enjoy "The last of us" remake though.

                  Might have to check out the new FIFA15, wasn't really impressed with last years one.

                      Well not so much these days as time is at a premium (fatherhood, working for Giles etc) but a friend gifted me CoH2 so i've been enjoying the Elefant tank and Stormpioneers 😉 We should definitely team up for some comp-stomping!

                      I also like a bit of TF2, Blood Bowl and L4D2.

                        Thanks for the article link @shoque

                        I haven't played men of war either but might check it out.

                          Not number 1 but ranked very highly in my personal list. Im a big RE fan but havent played 4 until recently. Gameplay is so good and the merchant system is a really interesting addition. Lots of playthroughs with lots of different weapons (Non-fixed camera angle also has downsides imho). Not as scary as the first games though. Pretty amazing the game is 10 years old already.

                          Looking forward to revelations 2 (rev 1 was a very decent game) and re1 remake hd remaster.

                            the merchant system is maybe the best part of the game to me and why I've played through it over 10 times start to finish (and its long as hell too).  they did a lot of things right.

                            i bought re5 stoked because i was such a fan of 4 but i seriously didn't give a fuck about upgrading weapons (weirdly enough) and i didn't even finish it once.  major bummer.

                                Don't think so, only the remake of part 1 is coming out for Xbox One.

                                @grandmasterben: Yup, RE5 feels very generic, didn't finish it either. I do like RE6 as an action game though. I'm playing through it with a friend atm, not sure I would play it in single player. Story is utter trash.

                                      I'd be interested to know what you think @derivative666

                                      I was initially thrown by IGN's very negative review but most of the other reviews I've read heaped praise on the game.  I'm a huge fan of the original movie so I was really excited for this game.
