I love strategy. I love science fiction. And I love getting lost in the creation of my own story. The story in question is my empire. Master of Orion establishes the mold, but I prefer Master of Orion II because I can custom make a 'race' like RPGs let you make a character. Every so often I see a new movie, read a new book, or whatever and get inspired to make a new custom race in MOO's little universe to see how it fares against this shark tank. I don't have the patience any more to sit and try to master any new game systems but I still play this one because it never really is mastered.
Making a game inspired by Steven King and the Cthulhu Mythos that runs on the Duke Nukem 3d engine sounds... unlikely but that is exactly what I would describe Blood as being. Blood does a great job of both being a spoof of popular 80's/90's horror and a work of its own. It varies between completely Evil Dead-ish silly and truly creepy. If you like horror + shooters + single player experiences, don't miss this game.
