I have heard a lot of people saying they don't like DLC packs for Civ 5, but I definitely got my money's worth out of these. I have not found a mod that comes anywhere close to the scenarios in the official DLC packs.

Maybe this is a good time to ask people what are some of the best mods?

I don't know. Considering every game critic on the planet refuses to call it by anything but Sleepy Dawgs, I think maybe it's just a cute moniker to use.

I love how TripWire does their thing.

Bioshock 2 ran fine for me too!

Thanks for this info. Was considering AC pack in passing, but Uplay can go to hell.

Gamestop (ugh!) is having a sale on a few Halloween themed titles, some of which activate on Steam:

http://www.impulsedriven.com/explore...sc/region-only

Some goodies:
The Walking Dead: $14.99
Alien Vs Predator: $3.74
Metro 2033: $4.99
Alan Wake American Nightmare: $7.49
Dead Island GoTY: $9.99
Dark Souls: $26.76

Several others but some (Like The Darkness II for $10.19) are not a very good price. Also, it's Gamestop.

Bioshock 2's DLC is only available through the GFWL store, right? Are there ever sales?

Walking Dead for $15 is appealing with the final episode out soonish... but not from Gamestop. I'll wait for the Steam Halloween sale and hope for a good price there.

The only reasonable deals on there are the Dead Space games and Alice Madness Returns for $5 each. I didn't see any good deals on Steam games.

Yes, actually. I've seen them go half off a couple of times. Don't know how to watch for it, I only noticed it when other CAGs posted it here.

The Walking Dead is Steamworks.

American Nightmare is overpriced wherever you go. It's one of those games where you get locked in a time loop and end up replaying the same few levels repeatedly while fulfilling different objectives, which is a nice marketing ploy to artificially increase the length of a game when you haven't produced enough game content. Mine was free, but I wouldn't pay more than $5 for it; it's disappointing in nearly every aspect in comparison to the first game.

Also, it's Gamestop.

Tiny Troopers the daily deal at 66% off making it $3.39

How is AvP?

Obviously nobody is playing MP anymore, but I'm more interested in the campaign. Any good for $3.75?

It's alright, I would think it would be worth that. I really only got it to test my hardware, and I would pay 3.75 just for that.

Whored out myself to Gamestop for The Walking Dead. Bastards did not give me my key in the email so I have to use impulse. Oh well. I guess I should buy one of the comic book compendiums in the mean time while I wait for ep 5 to start.

What makes it good for that? Enemies onscreen? Shadows? In ingame tool like Capcom's?
