I've just finished Caesar 3, the campaign is so difficult.
Caesar 3 was pretty amazing, and so was Pharaoh, I played a lot of the latter.

After receiving a very generous gift from a friend who preordered Bioshoch Infinite, I am now playing XCOM Enemy Unknown. I've seen loads of this game on YT beforehand, since I liked XCOM UFO Defense a lot, so I was interested.

Pretty amazing experience. To be fair, many things have changed and/or have been dumbed down in the new title. The micromanagement in combat, for instance, is completely gone - in the old game, it was often a lifesaver that I could have one of soldiers chuck a spare clip over to someone who ran out of ammo.

I've only recently finished contructing the Hyperwave Relay in my base, which picked up an Overseer class UFO, which I managed to shoot down with a Firestorm equipped with Plasma Cannons. After the ship went down, my Hyperwave Relay revealed what I should be expecting when I arrive to the downed UFO with my ground troops. Turns out it is filled with my worst nightmares from the first game (minus the Chryssalids), so I decided to put off the assault for today. Battles in that game are time consuming enough as is.
