I've been hooked on PC gaming at the moment, and this is the main subject of my blog today. I seem to have neglected my Xbox, my DS, and my sister's PS2 (kidnapped by me :P) over the past few days, in favour of a mouse and keyboard. Don't get me wrong, I've still been playing Mario Kart here and there, and I'm polishing off my recently purchased copy of MGS3 (not Subsistence, I'm a bit behind on PS2) but my main gaming has been in front of a computer monitor.

 The brewing anticipation

 For those who regularly read my "messianic daily documents :P" (thanks you guys) you'd already have guessed that the brewing anticipation is for Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. I'm 95% sure my rig will run it now... and just look at those screenshots! If you haven't already seen them (where've you been?) you really need to look at them! And the game looks hugely immersive... I'm guessing a few million hours packed in there. It looks like my next gaming fixation, apart from my ever-flowing love for the mighty Civilization IV!

 The quick reflexes

 For no reason at all, I've decided to start playing the original Unreal Tournament. Sure, graphically it's not too impressive nowadays, but still, you can't beat the old formula. Again, I rated this game with insanely good comments and a 9.6, a score that I rarely give to games, and I'm happy to say that this is still a brilliant shooter. Maybe it's to get me back in the feel to play Tournament 2007 when it gets released sometime this winter. And this time, I am taking Unreal online and seeing how I fare against others.

 And the civilization building

 For those bored listening to my endless rants of bliss centred around Civilization IV, you can immediately stop reading and post a comment about the above two issues. For people who have nothing better to do, read on... Ok, if you're a PC gamer, and do not own this game, you must buy it, whatever your interest in RTS is, and however familiar you are with this remarkable series. I've finally found the most addictive game ever. During a particularly boring class today, I started drawing plans for my civilization in the back of my exercise book (nerdy, I know, but I was bored) I'm wedged in an Epic game on the solo mode, on Noble difficulty... and I'm going off to carry on with it right now. I don't even know where ToCA 3 ended up.

 See you guys later! Scott, signing off.
