    Battle for wesnoth, Mount & Blade, and Soldiers: Heroes of WW2.

    Can you tell what I'm in the mood for? Recommend me something, very very simple. I don't have much time :(

    Something like Lords of the Realm!

    I got frustrated with this game because it seems like the AI cheats to beat you, just like Empire Earth. And I hate the Pirates so I don't play with Pirates.

    I found Mount and Blade to be very fun and addictive. Love the idea of building up your army, fun stuff.

    dang mount and blade is there already lol.

    shogun 2 total war
    jagged alliance 2 (even if it's really really old, it's still worth it).
    Homeworld / Homeworld 2 - really great games even if again...pretty old

    That game has been on my mind for a while. But it seems too damn complex. I played Homeworld 2, and if this is anything like it, I'll pass, don't have the time :(

    1) Might do. Medival 2 was a bit time consuming though :(
    2) Sounds good :)
    3) Noooooooooooooooo!!!

    No can do :( Got a Dolphin emulator so I may try the new Zelda though :)

    I wonder if I can do XBLA through emulators.

    Aww man, XBLA games look pretty fun, way more fun than actual Xbox games.

    That and Fat Princess on PS3. That game was great. I'm guessing no PS3 emulators either :(
