Yeah, but you probably spoiled yourself on the story already, knowing you. Even that aside, it's a brilliant game. The sequel even more so, gameplay-wise, but the story is a bit lacking.

I spent most of the day playing a newish game called This War of Mine, an indie game where you contro a small group (3 to 4) of people and lead them through surviving a war-torn city where resources are limited. The game is divided into two key parts, one where have a cross-section view of your house and build, grow or craft items, feed, entertain and rest your survivors, this all takes place during the day and runs on a clock. The other part of the game is at night, where you send of your people out to scavenge for the resources (wood, medicine, components, weapons, food, cigarettes etc.) at other locations around the city (also in 2d cross-sectional form), sometimes encountering other survivors, soldiers, bandits etc.

It's an engrossing and very different game from what I usually play. Sometimes, you have to make choices about whether to help other people. Do you give up your only drugs to give to a couple of children? Do you take in another survivor who's not that useful even though that means another mouth to feed and your other guys are all hungry?

What makes this game so great for me though is how it's a game of consequences. At one location, I ventured too far and the squatters started chasing me out of it. I had a knife on me so I stabbed and killed one, then another, and then another until all those chasing were dead. This survivor then returned to the shelter, backpack full of stuff I had taken, but was completely shattered by what he had done. Not only was he broken by the experience (and therefore virtually unuseable for tasks) but the effect was felt by all his friends who couldn't believe it had come down to murder.

Very rarely does your avatar in a game come across a human being and here I was reminded I was playing with a character and making him do things that would irrevocably change him. And the guilt and remorse that I felt at making him murder other people was immense.

Anyhow, I'd recommend at least a look at a Let's Play on youtube.

My computer could never handle UT back when it was a big thing, so I've never got the chance to give it a go. I'll give it a download, fancy a game?

NO GOLDEN EYE! That is all I am saying!

I wish it was - but yeah no.  It was as a failed attempt online as another thing. Add the steam thing. It should be fun!

Oh, now suddenly the Norwegian isn't that bad, eh?

I can attest to that.
