and yet is strangely alluring and a lot of fun. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for something that looks like ass, has a steep learning curve, is almost sadistically unwinnable without cheating. When dwarfs become too unhappy, they tend to spread the misery to their neighbors, leading to a spiral of violence that leaves the whole community paralyzed. Your chief medical dwarf needs a small hospital to tend to the sick and wounded, and while healthy dwarfs only need to drink booze to stay hydrated (which you need to provide) a sick dwarf needs access to clean water - if you accidentally have a water-source that is muddy, their wounds can get infected.įail to supply the needs of your community, and it is possible for your society to collapse. Important dwarfs also demand you build them a tomb to house their remains in. Your Sherrif becomes the captain of the guard, and now you need to build him an office, and a small prison to hold delinquent dwarfs in. Your book-keeper needs an office to work from. Nobles appear who demand luxury accommodation and food. Meanwhile, your dwarfs who up to this moment were content eating simple fare and sleeping in communal dormitories, are going to need more and more sophisticated care. To keep them at bay, you will have to set up a military and build fortifications and traps. The problem is, the more affluent and populous your fortress, the more attention it attracts from goblins, undead hordes and other unpleasantnesses. The more wealth you produce, the more you can trade with the surrounding communities and gain more resources that might be scarce on your map. The game designer seems to take a particularly sadistic pleasure in throwing more and more complications your way. Your dwarfs cannot be directly controlled: you can only give them assignments and give those assignments priority levels. The objective is to build a dwarf city, craft items, and grow to a mighty dwarf fortress.

I am not hardcore enough to play it in raw ascii mode so I use a mod that replaces the colored squiggles with little tiles. I have recently decided to try Dwarf Fortress in all it's nerdy glory, and I have to say it is a lot of fun.

I have a PC base to build off next year (I need to hook up a keyboard, monitor, maybe upgrade the video card, maybe pick up a bigger hard drive, and get Windows for it, plus I know very little of my way 'round the hardware so baby steps) that I planned to set up for PC games, rather than try to add Windows to my iMac 9,1.

I really can't play it with our son in the room though it is cartoonish but disturbing in content.Īnybody run a Mac with Windows so they can use Steam? If so, was it worth it? And it is still pulling me in to attempt more runs different creatures, items, rooms, and results keep showing up. I watched someone else play it first on You Tube, and then tried the demo, which is only two maps, but it took me about 50 runs just to make it through the demo to the end. Despite that it is a fascinating 2-D top-down game with randomly generated maps and tons of weirdness that make it kind of fascinating to me. It is called The Binding of Isaac, and the plot and theme are very twisted and grotesque. Or at least I'm playing the demo () for now. Well finally I'm playing something rather than watching someone else play or playing it with our son. Depending on the game and how generous the demo is, that can be enough. or if he's easily amused just get him some demos to play, I suppose.

I would point out that all Arcade games have a free demo. Most are E10+.Īlso there's some free games, you might as well get them I suppose: I won't bother mentioning anything M rated, but here are some Xbox Live Arcade games I have played that are good and may or may not be suitable.
It's hard for me to say what to recommend since I don't know what you find suitable for him. I'm sure it's still fun, and you can play it split-screen on 360, so there's that. The 360 version is apparently behind on some of those features compared to PC. And actually, I keep thinking I will go back and check it out since they've added more things to it since I played. I played Minecraft for approximately a zillion hours before getting tired of it.
