Is Dead Island any good?

I thought it was ok on X-Box, though I didn't play very far.

Man these offers are hard to turn up.  Hurts my wallet. :(
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

Also, the complete Theater of War bundle is up for 12 bucks.

Is it any good? :unsure:

Did anyone play the new COlonization?  I'm tempted to get it as I love the original.  The screenshots make me a bit leery though.

Oh, and there's the Batman bundle (Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Imposters) for 22.49. Too bad I'm not much of a Batman fan.

Arkham City is the one game I wanted going into this thing, but I think I have bought enough other crap that I am going to hold off. 

I highly recommend Arkham Asylum to anyone who hasn't played it.

It would be a mistake not to get City, has a lot of replay value besides looking great.

I'll get it at some point, but I will probably wait for the Xmas sale and 75% off.  I bought Alan Wake and DX:HR in the last 2 days and have been wanting to install the Chronicles of Riddick game I got a few years ago.

Thanks. :)  Now to peruse the rest of the sale.  I'm tempted to get Skyrim, though I've never played an Elder Scrolls game outside of a console.

Is Civ5 without the expansion worth 10 Euro?

I bought Arkham Asylum and then City.  Great, great games.  I hadn't played a brawler since I was a teenager.  Simple to control, very satisfying, good variations in game play.  Best parts are where you hunt the armed thugs.  Watching them go from arrogant to terrified.  I'd play the first one first and avoid skipping it.

well, sorta I guess, but I wouldn't play it without the expansion.
