Looking for new game.

Strategy game recommendation:

Found it in the bargain bin on Steam and while it shows it's age at times, not the best economy engine, and the AI needs alot of care and feeding to work well when needed but it had me thinking of a twists on strategy during the long boring ride home from work. The quirky game AI is brilliantly incorporated into the overall game play and tone. If your looking for reply value it has it, and really can't be finished properly in a single sitting. It's is goal driven with a definite end but how you connect the dots has enough variation to rinse and repeat.

The game is called Evil Genius.

Screw all of these games. Play free games on Armor Games or Kongregate

Meh it was interesting but I would try and get Dungeon Keeper 2 instead which will provide hours more of fun, not saying that Evil Genius is a bad game but after playing DG 2 it becomes disappointing.

meh I dont own Dungeon Keeper 2 and don't plan to buy it based on k10 Elzam's recommendation to never pay for a game again. Not to say it isn't more fun just after not playing DG2 I can't recommend it.

The posts where one says someone else's recommendation is ok/bad but THEIR recommendation is better is... not useful. Hell these threads aren't well suited to any concensus unless you go in with a clear set of objects and are willing to be disappointed in what you are told.

I'm personally just sick of the same @#(! with different skins and Evil Genius (as I already said) has it problems but uses the theme of the game to tie how $#@!ing dumb the AI can be at times together quite cleverly.

So in hindsight this was probably not the recommendation he was looking for anyway but then again who listens to me.

Btw Queenie and will consider DG2 the next time Im looking to kill some time and am sick of the current rotation of same old, same old. At something like $8 gamble purchase I've enjoyed Evil Genius more then I ever thought I would.... especially after buying it and realizing Oh @#(!! it's using the same AI engine as a just awful game called GhostMaster.

I look forward to trying Champions and Vampire: The maquerade. Thanks guys for the tips. I tried City of Villains a long time ago, but then my card got stopped by my bank. Thx guys. Way to go.
