    The Battle for Wesnoth

    I have held off posting this response as I wanted to have a few experiences with this game before I posted. I had no problems downloading the game and installing it on my computer, which was a good start with it.  Unfortunately I couldn’t seem to organise an online game with someone else so I’m not able to respond to that experience which might well have shown me something different about the game.

    I am afraid I am not a “battle” game person, there is something about running around battling and killing people that just doesn’t appeal to me but I did try to go into it with an open mind. I’m sure there are many people who would find the game interesting and enthralling but frankly I found it quite boring.  Perhaps  it wasn’t fast moving enough?  It’s not that I am against computer games - I have spent many hours trying to beat my kids through the levels of Theme Hospital and my 8 year old and I are big on playing SimCity. I suppose I just enjoy a different type of game.

    After discussing the Battle of Wesnoth with some of my Grade 6 boys, they suggested that I look at a game they seem to be playing a lot called Runescape - www.runescape.com  Runescape seems to be quite a popular game with them and I will have a look at it and perhaps post my response about it as well.
