My New Year's resolution is to stop playing the Forge of Empires game. This free-to-play online game is taking up too much of my spare time and is becoming a real 'click fest' addiction. I've been playing it for over 15 months now and have five cities of which three are nearing completion. I love the building and quest elements of this game but the 4 and 8 hour production cycles that I have to adhere to, combined with the fear of being plundered is a real bind. And really at the higher levels it just takes too long to achieve any progress.
So, I'm quitting and replacing my time with the three games that I have as Christmas presents; Far Cry 4 the latest edition of my favourite 'first person shooter', Simcity the city builder and management game that I have played since its original version, and Hearthstone the free-to-play card collectors game. These should keep me occupied.
I'll be popping back to Forge of Empires to show my two year old granddaughter the little people walking along the abandoned streets and trying to guess which abandoned building they are going into. She loves that!
