14 DAY TRIAL // Andrei Dumitrescu: I have been away for the final days of the last two weeks so I did not offer any information on what I was set to play during the weekends.
I was on holiday because I wanted to be able to watch the most exciting mountain stage of Le Tour de France from start to finish, taking in all the sights, watching all the big attacks and commenting on the race strategy with some virtual friends while the cyclists tackled legendary climbs and dangerous descents.
So it made sense to play some more Pro Cycling Manager 2011 while watching the race, this time trying out some of the mods that the community has been putting out, including the beta version of the highly regarded PCMDaily database.
I also got back into some Civilization IV, enjoying the latest version of the excellent Dune mod, and I also got some more Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Retribution time under my belt, including some Last Stand cooperative action.
Andrei Dobra: This weekend is pretty much dedicated to getting ready for a well-deserved vacation, but, as always, I'll probably find some time to indulge in a few games, in between making sure I won't forget anything at home and jumping on top of suitcases.
First up, I'll probably spend some more time with Defense Grid: The Awakening, the great tower defense game from Hidden Path Entertainment, and try to unlock some of the achievements that have eluded me up until now, while winning the gold medals on the maps in the title.
When I won't try to kill aliens with my impressive strategy skills and the array of different towers that I can build, I might jump back into The Witcher 2, a game that I've overlooked for quite some time because I was busy with newer ones. I'm still pretty early in the story, so I'll also indulge in some of the downloadable side-quests that have been added by the developer of the game, CD Projekt Red.
