Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Dec 22, 2010 5:00pm PSTThe presents are under the tree and it's a long haul until Saturday! Definitely looking foward to seeing what I've got coming to me this year and excited about what I've gotten for my fiancee.
I'm also looking forward to playing some games on my backlog from this year over the short break. What will you be playing on your vacation, if anything?

If I had to mix up games I'd mash up Total War with Mount & Blade, have a big overarching strategic mode that plays like Total War but have the option to instantly zoom to any unit on the battlefield and control it manually like Mount & Blade. Maybe make it multiplayer and let the players pick "hero" characters so one person could be directing the battle and the others could either just run around fighting or take control of specific companies on the field.
