I enjoyed Dead Island also! I heard such crappy things about it so I waited until it was around 5 bucks to pick it up. I beat it within the week and loved it. I am waiting to do the same thing with Riptide.
I have played both Sim City 4 and Tropico 3/4 and both are great games. Tropico is a fun and relaxed game and if you can get the one that has all the DLC included you can't go wrong.
I bought The Witcher 2 earlier since I missed it for 4.99 the other day and just the opening cinematic sets the tone and it is a damn good tone. It was so cool how they did it and am very excited to play more of it. I can't believe I almost didn't pick it up again. Thanks for talking me into...
