You could've bought the discounted DLC the other seemingly 70 hours the game's been on sale this winter sale.

Wish it'd been Sleeping Dogs instead of Skyrim, but that's just karma for all the votes I was laughing at earlier, I guess.

The good news is, gamersgate finally refunded me for the beth packs they took away.

What's the thought on Tropico 3 vs 4? 3 is on GMG for 1.75 (fake edit: I guess 3 isn't steam) GMG does have Jet Set Radio for 2.38 after coupon (GMG30-DPLIM-DN831)

Also, all kinds of end-of-sale stuff going on over at GOG today.

4 is probably the better game simply because the engine is a lot better/easier on computers. 3 is not very well optimized. 4 doesn't really look any better, but I can't say that bothers me in those types of games.

Tropico 4 is quite similar to 3. That said, 4 is an improvement in most ways, graphics, gameplay, bugs, story, etc. There is also the Modern Times expansion that adds another large campaign.

I'd recommend 4 over 3 if you haven't played much of 3. If you have played 3, then you probably already want 4 for the improvements and new missions.

That depressing thread, like Amazon's PC gaming indexing, is a complete cluster.

Re: DoW Franchise. I've said it numerous times since blind buying it last week: excellent value. Putting in an hour or so for a mission, not doing any crazy marathon gaming, is the way to go, IMHO. Accumulated 13 hours in DoW's 11 missions, about 2 hours into Winter Assault which has 6 or 12 missions. At this rate, the hours of entertainment will be worth the $9.99...

Multiple edits as auto-spelling is shaq-fuing me in the ass.

Magika finally showed up

I have nothing to add to the Tropico 3/4 discussion but just at this very moment realized that my holiday Trailer Park Boys marathon on Netflix has finally educated me on the identity of your avatar.

Really surprised at how long it took for that one to go on sale lol

Damnit Steam, put Crusader Kings II as a daily already so that Amazon can price match it for me!

Painkiller 50%-75%
Magika 75%
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 75% $2.50 each
Dark Souls 50% $20
Sniper Elite 75%
Tomb Raider 75% (all nine for $15)

Its a good deal but I know I would never play all nine Tomb Raider games, are there 1 or 2 of them which are stand outs?

Haha! I love that the pic I'm using has him holding a rum and coke - as always.

Watch out for samsquanch monsters and shithawks!

Got Spec Ops: The Line from an awesome CAG named stupidproz1

Thank you sir! I love this community ^^

Steam aren't event trying now, are they?

Legend and Underworld are the most recent games from the series. If you aren't nostalgic I suggest only getting those two.

Vote for Doom 3 so that Doom Rails might mistakenly go back on sale for 74 cents again.

I love how the Painkiller franchise is 50 to 75% off... except it's really 33 to 75% off since the new one is only 33% off. Good job Steam!

I noticed that this time around on the Skyrim sale the DLC is only 33% off (was 50%).

Done!

Amazon isn't matching everything so if it does go up, you might have to pick it up on Steam...

At least this game goes on sale all the time and everywhere so it shouldn't be too tough to track down.

(Amazon hasn't matched Steam's Total War Grand Master Collection).

Really wanted to pick up Shogun 2, but not at 66% off. It has been 75% off in the past don't know why it is 66% trying to milk more money out of sales I am guessing.

I'm thinking about picking up SW-KOTR 1&2 off the new deals for today (I know it's been on sale previously, but am just now considering picking them up). Any thoughts on how well the games looks on PC?

I am also wondering for Max Payne 1 & 2 (still on sale from yesterday). I have both on PS2 in my backlog, but if they would look better on PC, I would go that way...
