Stolen from fatwallet.

I'm not entirely up to date on prices, but two deals strike me as pretty damn good.
1. Civ 4 complete pack for $13. This includes Civ 4, Warlords, and Beyond the Sword according to the description.
2. Planescape Torment for $20. I've never had a chance to play this but have only heard rave reviews about it. Additionally, it seems to sell for more than new games elsewhere. I'm not entirely sure, but this seems flaming hot.

Definitely jumping on Planescape, I just need to decide if I want Civ 4...and do it before Planescape sells out.

PS:Torment is arguably the best RPG ever made. It is a must have, even for it being that old... if you can put up with the graphics of the Infinity Engine.

Beware hack and slashers, PS:T is like playing an interactive novel and it is riddled with plot, dialog and character development.

Some mods to consider:
1. Resolution mod (allows widescreen and differing resolutions):

2. Unofficial patch (make sure it is already up-to-date with the last official patch, 1.1):

3. Unfinished Business (restores cut content):

Yes, I know the difference. You have to use the two mods together. The one that Shadenfroh linked to lets you set the game to much higher resolutions while the one you linked to modifies the UI and text to fit better at resolutions of around 1280x800.

You know, to me, the graphics of the IE games are of the sort that don't age, or at least age very, very well.

I don't understand where they get off selling PS:T for $20! Sure it's a great game, but it's almost 10 years old now!

PST is a great game. My favorite RPG by far. $20 is a great price for this game. The graphics may be dated, but the playability and story are highly enjoyable.

I just checked my amazon history for PST.

purchased april 5 2000 for 44.99.

Wow. I bought PS:T in a double pack with some other game for $10 at Walmart like 5 years ago.

Maybe I should dig that up and ebay that thing for $30. No idea it was selling for that much.
