Since making this thread I have realized that my "games I'll get around to playing" list needs to be revised.
Hearing that godus and home front were craptacular was well..... craptacular. I'll still try torchlight 2 though.
I really enjoy the god game genre black and white, age of empires etc but No one has taken the next step. What I want now is sort of an eve online for the god game genre.
You build a world everyone exists in a universe and over time you can grow and develop space capabilities and send trade envoys or war parties to other worlds. Every world would be different and there could be simple mobile app tie In where you could play mini games to develop your world on the go. Think farmville with a point.
