It is much better now than it was, but I mainly can't recommend paying much for it because I don't enjoy rewarding Creative Assembly for their failures.  Its release was a giant mess.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

How's Hegemony: Rome these days?
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Is Pandora any good?

Haven't tried it myself, because the reviews mostly said that while it's not too bad, it's basically Alpha Centauri without the flavor, but with a better interface.

I havent played it since the early release days.  Havent had the time but I will get to it over the summer.  I liked it then even though parts of the game handnt been added in yet.  But I am a real fan of the series.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.  :lol:  Thanks.

At release it was crap and not worth it but with patches and mods it's their best game yet imo.
If you let someone handcuff you, and put a rope around your neck, don't act all surprised if they hang you!

Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely - lay your life before him.

Wolfenstein: New Order is on sale for 50% off.

It's a good game if you enjoy FPS, 1960s pulp sci-fi and killing nazis.

I just beat that one.  Steam sales make fools of us all. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I fell for Tropico 4. It was only 4 euros, less than a pack of cigarettes. How is the game?

I've enjoyed it, though once you know what to do it's fairly easy to succeed. Planning to get Tropico 5 before the end of the summer sale, just waiting to see if it gets more than -25%.

Rome 2 is at -66% now. I'm tempted, though there seems to be way too much DLC...

It was at that earlier. Hence the $20 that Cal mentioned.

edit: I guess today is just the best of the prior sales for the last day. Prices look the same.

I bought 3 games; The Walking Dead Season 2 and The Wolf Among Us, which I planned on getting if the price was decent and Space Empires IV because it was like $2.

I nabbed The Banner Saga and The Wolf Among Us.  Now to find time to play them...
