    I can barely play Napoleon. It lags horribly on lowest settings.

    Like Kip said, it's an overhead FPS for four players. It's free too, which is always a bonus.

    Meh. You might be able to handle the first few missions, they don't have too many enemies. Besides, its free, so it can't hurt to try

    I don't really like FPS games either, they make me motion sick.

    Should I set up the poll thread?
    Also, once mine installs, we should get a game going. What are everybody's Steam IDs?

    Maybe we can get AoE or Stronghold going tomorrow when I get back from working. Heck, you guys could even go off on your own if you want, no need to wait for me.

    Tomorrow isn't possible for me.

    Sunday, yes. Just not Saturdays.

    @Kip:
    Shooters as a whole, Kip.

    Well, I could understand FPS and motion sickness, but there's no more going on on the screen in Alien Swarm than in any given RTS or Total War game, but okay

    I think it has to do with all the contrasting shades and stuff, or maybe the repetitiveness of firing a gun in say CoD, idk, but after ~1 hour of playing a Shooter, I literally just cannot go on, I've gotta go outside and have a few deep breaths.

    Alien Swarm, most likely. I've been meaning to try it for ages and this finally gives me an opportunity. It's free too, for all those who don't yet own it.
