Andrei Dumitrescu: My colleague Andrei Dobra is on vacation so you will have to endure my ramblings about why I tend to nominate the same video games when it comes to the titles that I tend to spend my free time with during the weekend.

Andrei Dumitrescu: I seem to only be able to drop one video game obsession by replacing it with another one, so I left my career with Liverpool in Football Manager 2012 (reaching 2020 without managing to get the Champions League trophy but with plenty of domestic success) in order to get back to the Hearts of Iron II... |

Andrei Dumitrescu: I might finally be ready to break my daily Mass Effect 3 habit, even if I plan to keep returning to the multiplayer side of the BioWare-made game regularly in order to see what kind of new experience the developers introduce.

Andrei Dumitrescu: I might have just given up one solid video game addiction just so that I could return to an older one.

Andrei Dumitrescu: It will not come as a surprise that Mass Effect 3 is still the biggest enemy of my free time, even if I managed to complete the single-player components of the most recent BioWare video game release.

Andrei Dumitrescu: I tend to be the kind of gamer who does not quickly adopt the biggest release of the period, but I must admit that Mass Effect 3, the action and role-playing mix from BioWare, is one of the games that I eagerly waited for and plan to play to completion as soon as I can. I tried to stage my own med... |

Andrei Dumitrescu: I seem to be caught in a Paradox Interactive designed strategy trap that I cannot get out of at the moment, which basically means that I will be sharing my gaming time for the weekend between Crusader Kings II and the A House Divided expansion for Victoria II.

Andrei Dumitrescu: I might have an addition problem with Deus Ex: Human Revolution and it might take me this weekend and the next two to properly and finally solve it.

Andrei Dumitrescu: I remember playing the original Deus Ex when I was in high school and being impressed to the core by what the developers at Ion Storm have managed to create, by the level of choice included, by the way the world was sketched and the plot that I was uncovering.

Andrei Dumitrescu: I love The Witcher 2, which I started playing at some point last week and have been barely able to put it down, and this is a game that offers enough twists and choices to justify two or three runs through it, so this weekend I will start a new game.
