Mediocre games at mediocre prices.

That's almost twice what Steam had Tropico 3 for a few weeks ago as a weekend deal.

Impulse really needs to start being competitive, imo.

 

[Kestastrophe]

That had a good deal a few weeks back on the Majesty bundle. I would have loved to see a deal on their Sins expansions

Is Sacred 2 really that bad? I was waiting for a price drop on this, but I guess I can wait until its $5 on Steam.

I can't believe Sacred 2 still has its POS DRM attached to it.

I don't know about mediocre... Tropico 3 at least is good. Although if you missed it at Steam's awesome price, paying this much hurts some.

Oh yeah, and OP, thank you for going to the work of linking the demos and Metacritic! Very thoughtful of you! I actually came to say, "Any of these worth getting?" But now I can find out for myself. Kudos.

Steam has those links on every store page for every game. Not only is Stardock behind in price, but functionality too.

SoaSE is fun, but that's still the only reason I have Impulse and probably the only thing I will ever buy from them at these prices.

Tropico 3 is ok, but it is nowhere near as good as Tropico 2. I think that's why people rag on it.

 

[Tate Donovan]

Anybody have any idea if Nemesis of the Roman Empire will run ok on Vista? It's pretty old.

I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy Tropico 3 a lot. I've played 2 too and still think it's a good game.
