Caesar III was one of the most engaging games I ever played as a young, blooming gamer. Managing your city, from its granaries to feed your people, to the temples to placate the gods, to the armies to defend yourself from attack, it was a totally engrossing experience.

My recent gaming has been brought to you in great part by the Steam Summer Sale-

Cook, Serve, Delicious!- By far and away the highest fun to money ratio of any game in my collection. Picked it up on sale for less than 2 bucks, already have almost 20 hours logged already. Part restaurant management sim, part WarioWare-style minigame onslaught, plus a dash of Diner Dash. Super addicting , fun, and hectic, with a quirky sense of humor to boot. My only complaint is that it takes a bit too long for your restaurant upgrades to kick in.

Crypt of the Necrodancer- Another fairly humorous game, Crypt is a brutally hard Roguelike with a twist- your moves must be timed to the beat of the music, which varies from stage to stage. Has two main ways to play, a 'lighter' mode where you can tackle each of the dungeon's 4 zones one at a time, and you collect diamonds to buy upgrades between deaths. My preference is the more traditional 'all zones' mode where the entire game must be completed in one life, and all items are in the mix. Apart from the regular fun of a Roguelike, gaining skill in the game from death to death to death, there are also a dozen unlockable characters, each of whom play slightly differently from one another. The soundtrack has 3 versions of each stage's OST, in case you get tired of them, and if that wasn't enough, you can import mp3s from your PC to make your own custom soundtrack. I cannot recommend this game enough.

Finally, Lichdom: Battlemage- Fairly linear level design and a breathtakingly mediocre plot are offset by fun and flashy visuals, and a very in-depth crafting system where you can design your own spells to sling. On the whole, I'm having fun with this game, but the enemy design is yawn-worthy, and the game can gyrate from fun minion blasting to stupidly frustrating boss fights in the blink of an eye. I don't regret getting the game on sale, but I'd hesitate in recommending it, especially at full price.

I'm a big Telltale fan, and this totally slipped under my radar, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one it looks very promising!

I'm most excited for Overwatch! Though I still dearly love Team Fortress 2, the infusion of moba elements is just too exciting a prospect to not be hyped! Though I have reservations like most people do about the FOV, viewmodels, and especially the monetization (which still hasn't been decided) I cannot help but to get that fuzzy feeling in the pit of my stomach when I think of the beta's approach in the next few months.

I had to look him up, he's not really been in much, but he could definitely pull off the look at the very least.

I was also under the impression that it would be more than a cameo, since they're skipping his origin story so he can start off taking part in the plot.

It'll also be released on PC as well, if that's an option for you.
