Hi all,

I am looking for a game I can windows and snap to one side of my screen while watching a film/series on the other side.

At the moment I am using minecraft but am looking to mix it up a bit, looking for maybe a stratagy or world building game?

Put it next to your TV? = Win.

Cities Skylines is good, Age of Empires series?

Cities Skylines

Civ 5 is suppose to be good

You're pretty much looking at anything slow or turn based, so I'd recommend XCOM or something like Xenonauts. If you don't mind something very slow going, Crusader Kings II is supposed to be good. The Might & Magic games would also be good for this sort of thing. Hearthstone is another one, however you do need to be paying attention for that.

Football Manager will always be the best game for this sort of thing.

Transport Tycoon. You could watch a good few films quite easily if you get into your game!

It's Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe now, and it is free.

If you are looking for a game thats not very engaging to the point you want to watch tv whilst you play. Take up an MMO, can watch films/tv whilst you grind for levels and materials. Or something like hearthstone and other card games.

I used to do this with an indie game called Game Dev Tycoon. Its actually pretty addictive.

Had this for ages on my android phone, what a game! It's just a shame it's such a battery drainer

Where can I get a copy for PC? I had no idea it was out. I did find a clone on steam though, it's called GamersGoMakers found here http://store.steampowered.com/app/314320/
