it's a decent time waster but it's nowhere near as deep as Jagged Alliance two. There's no grenades/melle/thrown weapons the only equipment is used in your little base. Basically just run around doing missions pew pewing things and its total pay2win. Like I said, essentially a time waster. Hope they do a better job with Shadowrun.

:shock:

What's that? Last I read, Microsoft owns the publishing rights for now until eternity on any computer-based Shadowrun games unless they licensed it out. I was following along on a public open-source MMO (Shadowrun: Awakened http://awakenedmmo.org/) that's still being worked on (5 years later at that... no surprise there) and the founders of that project have had to keep a regular dialog open with MS over game design.

found this little thing yesterday. Still in beta and still has a lot of bugs and features missing but still manages to be pretty interesting.

Post-Apoc world, i would mainly see it as a crossbreed between fallout 1/2 and stalker.

Its isometric view, turn based, and is mainly based on scavanging and survival.

So, now that I don't play just because I find it too tedious to again become prominent in the game; what other games do you hearthlings play that is worth a shot?

I was contemplating playing EVE online but I am not completely sold on it yet. So in short, what other online games do you good people recommend playing? ;)

One game I thought would have got a mention is Shadowbane, I think it has been renamed play to crush http://www.shadowbaneemulator.com/forum/index.php . For those who haven't played it, have a look. Open world pvp, crafting weapons, making castles, castle sieges (in game they call em banes) and potential mass battles. I played this for a long time until ubisoft closed the servers, then some clever people having been rebuilding the game since it has been pulled offline and seem to have made a huge amount of progress.
If you love quick leveling, and Rolling characters then this could be for you.
Was my fave game for a long time, was fun killing people and watching em rage in chat, or being part of huge battles destroying castles.
