good evening from the UK

Hello all

55 year old male (though the user name should have been a bit of a clue) and I live in the UK so am a few hours time difference to most of you on here.

Am a fairly avid reader of an eclectic mix of books, though sci fi has always been my favourite, current top authors for me in that genre are probably Ian Banks and Richard Morgan.

Also read a fair bit of detective fiction, current favourite is probably Donna Leon, which is unusual for me as I don't usually like American authors much, although I believe she now lives in Venice so that may explain it. Though I am sure there are many I would like, I just haven't found them yet.

I have just invested in a kobo (I believe its called the Nook or somesuch over there?)and am gradualy building up a collection on that. The good lady got a kindle at the same time and annoyingly that seems a better one, although being a bloke I will never admit that too her. :-P

I seem to spend most of my time on here playing some of the thousands of games though so probably wont be posting much. But you never know.

What are some of your favorite games?

"Garden TD" is awesome but we now have over 100 tower defense games so we could have some betters ones. I just haven't explored yet.

I agree about Tower Defense games. Quite frankly "Garden TD" is the first TD game I've ever encountered or played. But I'm hooked and can play that game for hours. I know there have to be some more great TD games in the 10,000 games we recently installed. As you can see on the arcade page I'm slowly moving games from the alphabetical listing to an actual category, such as "Pinball" or "Tower Defense."
