Hello all

My name is Jay, (nick=FX) and I bring you greetings from South Africa. Yes apart from the lions and rhino and crazy wild animals here, we actually get games here too contrary to poplular belief hehe.

Anyhow, my current fav's are DoW and CoH. Best strat games eva.

I'm 31, male, married, with one beautiful 3 year old daughter.

Yeah so thats me in a nutshell. Thanks for having me here.

Cheers

Welcome to the fora, Jay. If you can find Homeworld, check it out!

[IcyPenguin]

Welcome to the Relic Forums! And I totally agree, DoW and CoH are great games, but as SquidDNA said, check out Homeworld as well! It's awesome.

Thanks for the greetz everyone.

And greetz to a fellow South African!

Yeah Handarazuur, you guys have a great cricket team, really world class. SA needs to settle and find it's course again then you will see good, exciting cricket between the two teams once again. I hear that Shane Warne has resigned? Cheers, and kudos to a great bowler.

Thanks again all, and will check out Homeworld as suggested. Truth is, I feel like I come from the stone age as Homeworld is one of the FEW games I have not played. Is it bad? Or is it good because I still get to experience it? Never the less, I'll most certainly pick it up. It's pretty old now I know that so I should get it rather cheap as well

Homeworld is very highly regarded on these boards, you'll get nothing but praise here

I've heard nothing but good things about the series anyway..... always have.

But more specifically are we talking Homeworld 1 or Homeworld 2? Locally, I see that Homeworld 2 is available..... Homeworld 1 might be a little bit trickier to obtain But hey getting 2 is better than nothing right?

[Elukka]

They are both great, though the first Homeworld had the best single player campaign ever, due to the story, the feel and the gameplay. At least that's my opinion.

Homeworld 2 is also great, definitely try it out if you can. The campaign doesn't quite reach the level of the first HW, but it's far from bad. Also, there's still a multiplayer and a modding community, which is great.

You can probably get demos of both game easily.

Oh, welcome to the forums.
