Victoria PC Strategy Game

So, being a bit of a strategy-game head, but getting bored of the standard resource gathering variation-on-a-theme that has been around since Command and Conquer, I've found myself for the last few months playing, Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun. I spend an hour (or often an hour and a half) at lunchtime going back to the 19th century in order to conquer the world again.

The main difference I have found with this game is the sheer amount of gameplay available: I've got over 100 hours out of it so far, and I still feel I've got quite a long way to go before I feel I've got everything out of this game.

OK, so I admit that it is quite a complex game to get your head around, and takes a couple of abortive test games to get your head into, and there is no tutorial - but once you've got it, Victoria is really worth the effort, if you like a non-standard, complex strategy game.

If anyone else has experience of this game, post a comment!

New Blog, then

OK, so this is yet another new blog out in there in the inter-verse. However, it is my first blog, so it is special to me, even if not to anyone else.

If you like the random thoughts that I post. Let me know. If you don't like them, let me know and then find someone else's blog to read.

I'll think of something more interesting to post shortly - at least I hope it'll be more interesting :-)
