This was one of the first strategy games I ever played, I think I was around 6-7 years old. Immediately fell in love with the setting, gameplay mechanics and overall musical feeling it provided. Of course, since English isn't my native language and I didn't know it that well by that age... Back then I never figured out how to transport resources between islands, leading to situation I never was able to finish last Egypt campaign mission. Every once in a while I started game from beginning, beating game first as Romans, then Asian and lastly get myself stuck with Egyptians. Until couple of years ago I finally managed to finish that deed of mine. Even still to this day, i feel like Settlers 3 is one of the best strategy games ever made, having engraved it's sweet little spot forever into my heart.

Forza Motorsport 4
Forza Motorsport 4Forza Motorsport 4 is a racing video game, and the fourth in the Forza Motorsport series. Like Sony's Gran Turismo franchise, Forza games are racing simulations; heavy emphasis is placed on making the cars drive and look as realistic as possible. Races are conducted on closed circuit tracks. 500 cars are featured in the core game experience, ranging from road cars to race cars. Players can utilize Kinect to look into a corner using a new head tracking feature. This allows them to look toward the apex of a corner or at nearby cars. The controller or steering wheel is used to control the car while Kinect is used independently for viewing around the driver. Players can also use Kinect as a game controller. In this setting the game automatically accelerates and decelerates the player's vehicle utilizing a modified version of the feature known as Auto Brake in Forza Motorsport 3. The steering is controlled by placing the players arms out as if controlling an invisible steering wheel. Kinect will allow the player to use voice commands to start races and navigate menus.
