I played Blood Bowl. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a big fan of the table top game. Its not particularly fun and gets repetitive. The table top game works fine because you have a friend to trash talk while playing but it feels bland playing by yourself.
That's why you play online. :)Quote:

Nevermind....
Wow...a large star wars pc game collection for $50.
Just got knights of the old republic for 2.50. I had it on the original Xbox, but my original Xbox bit the dust. So glad to be able to play it again.
Empire at war is todays sale. I am actually considering it.
It looks like age of empires, but there's no review for it from metacritic. I need more information on what it is. The game description sounds good.Quote:

I watched a video review and just didn't seem good. Looked pretty easy. However, all the battlesounds and such were typical star wars, so that was good. I'll stick to my other RTS games I have. Relic pretty much owns that genre for me. DoW, DoW II, and Company of Heroes. I'm good.
Empire at War is infinitely better than the "skin-on-age-of-empires" Battlegrounds. They simplified and streamlined it a bit. But honestly, that's not that bad. Made it feel more realistic. (I.e. money makes the world go 'round.)Quote:

It's an excellent game though, the space battles are epic.Quote:

I just noticed they finally put Monkey Island 1 and 2 on sale for 7 bucks for both. Here's the link.

Still a reasonable effort all-around, the space battles are nice, and although very simplistic, the grand strategy map was entertaining.
I think my favorite part of all of the campaigns (including the FoC expansion) is the "sabotage" era. You've built up this huge army and network of planets, but on the turn of a dime in the storyline, you lose about half of them, and have to claw your way back. it's awesome.Quote:

I might be down for that. Depends on if I choose to take a test today or tomorrow.Quote:
