    90% is easiest the highest discount I've ever seen on Steam. Probably related to the fact that there's still monthly fees.

    Nothing for me today, phew.

    Bought here, I remember seeing it on sale for forever a few weeks back. Had no idea it was a turn-based homeworld-esque affair. Worth 2.50 for the soothing piano music

    overall disappointed cause I already have all the stuff from past sales

    Hmm guess I'll have to try the flotilla demo but I doubt I'll be convinced.

    Still haven't bought anything yet. These sales are less enjoyable if you already own everything D:

    Except III. So why not just go "75% off all Civilization IV games"? Silly Steam.

    If anyone is looking into getting DoW II and it's expansion, I would recommend just going for the THQ pack and paying the extra few dollars for a fair few more games.

    Good to see Civ IV on sale, I've been interested in that for a while.

    The first one is a necessity and Max Payne is a pretty great game too.

    Kane and Lynch for £3.49? I think I will nab that. Should provide a decent little distraction.

    They did CR for $15 about a week and a half ago, so I'm not holding my breath.

    Kane & Lynch is actually kinda tempting for $5. Any reasons besides mediocrity that I should avoid it? Bad port, poor framerate, etc.

    To anyone even midly interested in Kane & Lynch, I'd like to point out that the co-op is local only and that the only online play is the fragile alliance mode. And when I got it a year ago, it was pretty much dead.

    Though last I remember of Gothic 3 it was the buggiest mess ever seen on PC.

    The Civ IV complete bundle is the best deal, but if you're ultra-strapped for cash you can just pick up vanilla Civ IV.

    Edit: Warlords, the first expansion, is pretty meh, but Beyond The Sword adds a metric fuckton of stuff. Colonization is a stand-alone update of an older Civ spin-off game that plays quite differently than Civ IV does.

    I remember reviewers saying it had a really meh single player and a really interesting multiplayer, which is probably long since dead by now. And "Gerstman Gate," of course.

    I'd totally give EVE Online a go if it wasn't for that $15 per month subscription fee. I have no idea how MMOs attract enough people to sustain themselves.

    Done. Vanilla would be great but it's a little over half the price of the bundle so I guess the complete collection it is. They're RTS games right? Is it all war and combat or do you build up towns and shit too?
