Yeah, I have the first and don't rate it at all.

I tried the campaign in #1, but I really didn't take to micromanaging all units myself, including making use of their various special abilities. It might have worked for me if you could give orders while paused. Without it I felt I had to juggle with a dozen balls at once.

Subscribed. We're too old for RTSs. Although I played some missions and really appreciated the game, it's too fast paced for my middle aged need of pondering my moves.

I'll admit I loved Company of Heroes.  CoH is a bit more lukewarm.  It would be nice if units would throw grenades and the automatically instead of being asked.
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

Picked it up, scratched my old Company of Heroes Online itch - not as good, unfortunately.

Sniper Elite 3 is free to play on Steam this weekend, $10 if you want to buy it.  I'm having a pretty good time with it so far.  First one of these Sniper Elite games I've ever played.  The kill cam thing gets old.

Steam Haloween sale is on.
So far nothing good. Just horror games. Thats usual for the haloween sale?

From the sale:

I've seen some Let's Plays of Lakeview Cabin. Think 1980s horror in pixelated format. It's more about puzzle solving, exploration, and trying out things than about jump scares. It also seemed pretty open in what you can do and try within the game, giving it a bit of a sandbox feel. €2.49 seems like a reasonable price.

Hard West is kinda XCom in the Wild West with supernatural elements.

GOG.com has The Saboteur at 50% off. If you liked the original Mercenaries or Just Cause 2, this is a pretty good similar game (made by Pandemic). You get to kill Nazis as a wise-cracking Irish car mechanic/race car driver in Paris.

EDIT: And I can't get it to get past the loading screen.

Slitheratrix sale is on: http://www.matrixgames.com/amazon/wintersales/Matrix%20Christmas%20Sale%202016.pdf

If I were to buy one of their Ancient Rome games, which one should it be?

(I'm willing to accept "none" as an answer, too)
