Any opitions on Hegemony: Philip of Macedon? Played the demo and it wasn't bad. For $3 may give it a shot and support an indi.

I got that game because it reminds me some boardgames which I love to play with friend. I like it! Definitely Hegemony is worth 3$

"As of about noon today Steam is running a one day sale on Hegemony for 85% off or about $3 US. The offer is only on for 24 hours so if you've haven't grabbed Hegemony yet you won't find a better deal than this. And in case you're thinking of holding out for Hegemony Gold, the Steam version on sale now will still qualify you for the $10 upgrade to Gold (reg. $29.99) when it launches in the new year. "

You SAVE money when you buy it now :D

CRAP, thanks for this mate, just bought it now :D

I'm tempted to buy the whole package. Hitman was fun, for sure, I'm just not sure it holds up so well anymore compared to today's games.

Blood Money should. The rest of them I doubt it. BM is improved in lots of ways anyway. I would just get that.

Yay finally got the peninsular war dlc for Napoleon TW as well as the dlc for Empire with the native american tribes! Watched the last of the Mohicans and War & Peace about a month ago (for the 100000th time) and gone nuts for that era again :D. Anyway, I have spent almost 40 euros in this sale and considering that I didn't want to spend anything at all it is quite sad but at least this year I bought games I will definitely play. All in all though, I dont feel like I saw anything REALLY interesting that is missing my library at extremely low price this year, except for the witcher but I think it has been on sale quite a few times and I just missed it.

So far I've bought Deus Ex and Invisible War, Dirt 2, Dragon Age, IL2 Sturmovik 1946 (already own it but discs are scratched), and Just Cause 2.

Other Non steam games I've got are Battlefield Bad Company 2 Vietnam, Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare for 360.

So many games so little time.

BTW Kaner, about Mass Effect 2, it's definitely not just the references that you'll get. Choices that you made in ME1 will have an influence on ME2 and you can import your character, so it's definitely like starting in the middle of a book.

Well I'm not a huge scifi fan let alone scifi space dramas so I'm more into it for the gameplay. It's pretty fun so far but the combat is getting stale quick. Every battle is pretty much the same. It's usually an outdoor plaza with lots of random boxes to jump behind for cover. Then all you do is pop up fire, use special power, pop up fire, use special power, fire.....repeat until everyone is dead. Plus the mini-puzzles like hacking and the circuit board got old after the first few times. So for 10 bucks it's entertaining but I'm really not seeing why it has gotten massively high scores.

Oh I've got Fallout 3, Fallout 3 New Vegas, Amnesia, The Witcher, Hitman: Blood Money. I'm thinking of Stalker: Call of Pripyat but I've made such a huge RPG backlog that I'm not sure I'll have time for it for the next 6 months :D

The main story kicks in after halfway through of the game, so things should get much more interesting after that. But really ME2 is the weaker of the two, but it's still scored really high because it does continue very interesting story which you can craft a little by choices you have made. It's like watching Lord of the rings and say last movie was the best, but you woudn't watch them invidually or miss the first or second movie so you score them all as a big chunk of awesomeness.

I think both ME1 and ME2 are equally great. It's an action RPG, not a deep / hardcore RPG, which is a big advantage for me as I hate micromanagement. The combat missions are linear, true, but exploring the galaxies isn't. Overall a great game with a good storyline, good characters and dialogue, fun biotic powers... good stuff, really enjoying ME2. They've done so many things right with this series.

I forgot that also isn't counting the X-Mas console stuff, my backlog blows. Maybe one day when I am retired I will finally be able to get to all of it.
