So the Friday before last I installed World of Warcraft on my computer (playing a trial)... and spent Friday night, all Saturday, Sunday and Monday playing it - “warcrack” apparently it’s called. A side effect – sore back from being on the computer for way too long. It’s a good game, but not for me. Very addictive though – immersive, and there’s always something to do. Apparently half of everyone I know plays it. Anyhow, I went into the shops on the weekend to buy it, but next to the WoW box was a Supreme Commander box (which is the sequel to Total Annihilation) – a RTS game which I’ve had my eye on for ages… So I’ll be getting that, and not Wow. Supreme Commander seems to be a better game for me: it's not as immersive, you can pause / save games (campaigns anyway), more strategic, a fair bit to be concerned about, etc.
