Thank God it has stopped raining. Also thankful that the back doesn’t hurt as bad any more, I can actually sit up for limited periods of time now.

Yay me. So I finished the Atreides missions in Emperor: Battle For Dune today. I’ve gone through all missions for each of the three houses: Ordos, Harknonnen and Atreides. In comparison to say, Warcraft 3, 2 or 1, and Starcraft, I’d have to say this ranks equally if not better.

It is along the same lines as the command and conquer games, made by the same developer(westwood), but I’ve not played those. What makes these Dune games more engrossing than the others of the same genre is that it is fairly short. Usually there are about 8 to 9 missions per house, varying of course on the route you take to overthrow the capitol of the other houses. There are movies interspersed, and it is just a well done game.

It doesn’t drag on, and there are enough different things per mission that make them fun to play. You can never conquer one mission exactly how you conquered another. You have to use different combos of your weapons to win.

I like the game. Now back to homework, I suppose.
