The weekly discussion: What's the most complex game you've ever played?

Sometimes we just want to play Candy Crush Saga, but at other times most of us like deeper and more involved experiences.

And some developers and publishers go right over the top with providing deep and complex experience. From the strategic depth of a Paradox Interactive game to the insane RPG systems of a game like Mugen Souls. 

These games are niche by default, but for people that get into them they are incredibly engaging experiences. 

So the question this week is, what is the most complex game (for any reason) that you have played? More importantly; did you enjoy it?

Happy gaming!

EA is not supporting Nintendo's Wii U; how the heck did that become EA's fault?

Some would call it "doom and gloom" reporting. I personally call it click baiting, but yep, Nintendo's corner of the Internet did indeed explode with the news that EA has formally pulled all development from the Wii U console.

Review: Metro: Last Light (PC)

Metro 2033 was an interesting game that had a lot of really good ideas, but plenty of rough edges as well. Metro: Last Light is 4A Games' followup adventure featuring Artyom, the protagonist from the first game. Metro takes place in a post-nuclear Moscow where survival is challenged in a variety of ways. The air is no longer safe due to radiation, mutated creatures roam the surface and the worst in human nature presents itself repeatedly. Metro: Last Light is heavy on atmosphere, which helps to carry it past some gameplay shortcomings.

Going after the casual gamers is all the Wii U needs

The storm of gloom has been really rolling in on the Nintendo front as of late. Anyone who even marginally pays attention to the daily games news has undoubtedly read that Nintendo won’t be holding a major press conference at this year’s E3, and many are interpreting that as a sign of weakness. Additionally, there are the persisitant rumours of more third party titles not releasing on the Wii U and that Wii U development kits are supposedly “collecting dust.”

Preview: Fuse (PS3)

Fuse has really surprised me. I’ve played it twice now at media events, and I’ve gone from not being interested in it in the game in the slightest to really, really looking forward to getting stuck further into the game come release day.

Final Fantsy X-2 HD Remastered is looking good

There has been a lot of coverage for the Square Enix remastering of Final Fantasy X, but a lot less for Final Fantasy X-2 which was an unexpected but welcome surprise addition.

Review: Persona 4 Arena (PlayStation 3)

Persona 4 Arena took its sweet time to release locally because Atlus decided in its infinite wisdom that this game of all games is the one that was going to pioneer region locking on the PlayStation 3. With this game, the follow up to one of my favourite RPGs and Anime of all time, I was forced to wait an obscenely long time for even as my Japanese and American buddies were getting stuck right in. To quote an old Australian meme “Not. Happy. Jan.”

Review: Sid Meier's Ace Patrol (iPad)

Sid Meier really does have a midas touch and when 2K Games calls him in, people should pay attention. Despite 2K’s shaky history on the iPad, Sid Meier’s involvement in Ace Patrol has provided one of the finest tactics games yet made on the platform and here is a game that is essential for any strategy fans with iPads.
