14 DAY TRIAL // Andrei Dumitrescu: I’ve played a lot of Hearts of Iron III over the last week and I’ve realized that I do not love the game as much as I should, even when I use mods that are supposed to open up the experience and increase the historical flavor.
The reason is that the time frame of World War II is too limited and does not give me the space I need to take a country in an interesting direction.
So, this weekend, I am going back to Crusader Kings II with all the installed expansions and the Game of Thrones mod, a game experience that’s brimming with so much freedom that, at times, I actually do not know what to do with a certain situation or a character.
I now plan to take the reins of one of the provinces of the South, with a more obscure family, and then try to take control of the Reach and, ultimately, of course, of the entirety of The Seven Kingdoms.
Andrei Dobra: My weekend is going to be dedicated to my inner child, as I'm currently playing Saturday Morning RPG, a turn-based experience meant to relive some of the greatest childhood cartoons and entertainment from the 1980s, from Transformers, to He-Man, or G.I. Joe.
The game is quite fun and filled with all sorts of great references, not to mention actual successful riffs on that decade's society.
When I am not reliving parts of my childhood, I'll probably jump back into Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as I really want to collect a few of the new stickers that have been added to the game via the latest big update, not to mention check out the improvements made to different guns and maps.
Last but not least, I'll probably play a bit of Battlefield 4 in order to take advantage of Player Appreciation Month and score free Battlepacks as well as Double XP.
