    What are you playing with right now?

    Video Games.

    Always used to partake in the past (Speccy+2, Amiga, PS1, Xbox, PC, 360, PS3) but the march into the arena of middle aged-ness has brought with it a distancing from an enjoyable pastime, which I think needs rectifying with the nights closing in. Nothing needing too much commitment, an hour or so in an evening would be good.

    Any suggestions? I tend to steer towards 'building' type games, or open world, or just good puzzles. Transport Tycoon Deluxe was a good one and still going (OpenTTD). I have a 'no magic' policy not adverse to upgrading the graphics card in the PC so I can play modern games at a decent refresh rate run Office 2013 effectively when I work from home. I've looked at Minecraft but I don't quite, 'get' it..

      Minecraft is the digital equivilent of lego crossed with boulder dash, and with monsters that come out at night

      For sim stuff the new XCom and Xcom2 are worth a look, Civilization is as good as it ever was (just more complicated)
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              If the No Magic thing is a firm policy then Elite: Dangerous is probably worth a look for an Open World multiplayer RPG'ish game. Especially if you played the original.

              For a Shooter give Team Fortress 2 a go if you haven't already. Easy and quick to pick up for a few rounds, no huge learning curve to be able to compete and not as filled with Elitist jerks as Counter Strike. Won't need a huge upgrade either.
