There is something I like to call comfort gaming. I'm talking about games that I can always come back to and have a good time without having to dedicate my time to a story or career mode. Some of these include Black Ops, Everyday Shooter, Audiosurf, Wipeout HD and Civilization V.
Civ V is so dangerous. Playing for two hours felt like 10 minutes! I actually trapped myself in a corner and capitulated in my first game. I selected random settings so maybe I just got unlucky but basically, I didn't grow fast enough and when the Greeks declared war out of nowhere, I lost one of my three cities and was left with almost nothing so I decided to start over.

The next game is going pretty well so far. I'm using the Japanese and am playing on a very big map with 8 civilizations on board. I have three cities close to valuable resources but there is a large desert that limits expansion in my starting area. I have a feeling I have to grow big early to simply grab real estate without going to war.
