for the total war stuff, it says it's $5 cheaper if you own rome or medieval, just noticed that the rome complete pack only cost 7.50, so for about 27 you could have rome, europe and nappy tw on steam. (just checked, mw2 has same 7.50 price if you want that instead)


has anyone done reading today ont he drm for discovery? saw comments that retail version has been patched out but nothing certain about steam.

What type of DRM does it have? I own the retail version and never noticed any issues with it.

I have it on impulse but not venice from what I heard when I got it it was supposed to be a 5 limit machine install. I have no clue if they got rid of it or what. On steam it says 3 but I have heard or read that people would call up the company or email them to get it reset. It sucks that they have this kinda thing but when I got the game it was fairly new and a sale for 20 so I said f*ck it. It really up to you if its your type of game and you wanna deal with that.

Medal of Honor any good?

it tanked pretty hard at launch....i really enjoyed multiplayer, but they could've changed the maps around to make it a little better. IMO the maps are basically like playing on bc2vietnam maps(bottlenecking), so its not horrible. single player is supposed to be pretty good, that said I don't own the game and only played on they beta....i might pick it up for 30 bucks

Zeno Clash looks trippy. Worth it at 3.75? I too am looking at Divinity, but I might have a few too many RPGs right now I need to play to really get into another one.

Is Divinity II any good if you like RPGs in general?

I enjoyed it. Slow start but enjoyable once you get into it. Took me over 40 hours to do the main game plus the expansion. At the time I thought it was $40 well spent.

Dunno I'm downloading the demo for Zeno Clash, might be cool. Wish I bought Lost Horizons when it was on sale though, been wanting to play an old fashion point and click for a while.

I was going to buy the Stalker pack and Thatre of War but I partied too hard last night and I just woke up :(

I have HL2 but never played episodes one and two, are they good?

Ep 1 is kind of a snore and it's pretty short. Ep 2 is a little longer and a lot more interesting. I'd still get both though if you really enjoyed HL2. If you didn't, you like wouldn't enjoy the episodes either.

Thanks, can't go wrong for $1.19 each.

FYI, if you're interested in playing just the first CoH game don't buy it. The Company of Heroes Online game includes the first game's missions to play as well (for free). But you'll have to buy it if you want to also play the two expansions.
