I think Demigod is a DotA knock-off.
I've been playing League of Legends for a few days, and it's fun (free if you can put up with unlocking features by putting in playtime).
But dang, now I'm tempted to buy that and GC2 :O

Demigod is indeed like DotA. I've played Demigod and LoL (haven't played DotA) and I like Demigod better; it is less about ganking and more about skill.Quote:

I agree, though. A few years back, there was a lot less ganking and DotA and a skilled player could carry a team and get crazy (30-5) type records. Ganking is now popular with the masses, and half the games become boring with teams sticking together in a big group of 5 the entire time.
Heroes of Newerth is supposedly the most DotA-like, but currently there is no way to try it without buying the entire game.
The community always seemed like elitist assholes so I had no desire to be a part of that.Quote:

Killing Floor is now available on Mac, which is great news for everyone since that game is unreasonably fun.
God, that railworks game and its addons are like spam on Steam...
I bought Killing Floor awhile back for $5, but I haven't even opened it yet. Madballs is a really fun distraction, and it's multiplayer (If you can find some people) is surprisingly fun.
Killing Floor is good fun, and the class upgrades are nice. My main complaint is that the game flow is always the same: kill some waves, kill the big bad boss (or die), rinse, repeat.
Total War Mega Pack on sale for $20 and change. Contains Rome+expansion, Medieval 2+expansion, and Empire. Never delved into the Total War games much, but that might have to change for this price.
Total War is like crack. If you get hooked, it will consume your life!Quote:

I bought it for my brother for Christmas. He loves it. He had to actually uninstall it from his computer in his house during school so he wouldn't focus purely on the game. He comes over to my house to play lol.Quote:

I actually spent a little while earlier this year introducing myself to the Total War games (I had only played skirmishes previously). I started with Empire but for lack of a proper tutorial I went back and started with Medieval 2 and then moved up to Empire once I had sufficient knowledge of how to play.
Then a funny thing happened...
After a couple of hours playing Empire I realized I wasn't having fun. I spent several more hours with it but there's something about the game that just isn't as compelling as Medieval 2 and I think it might just be the focus on musket battles with no real melee troops to mix things up. Did anyone else here feel this way? Is there some level of strategy I just didn't see in Empire that would make the battles more exciting?
I know that on the PC Gamer podcast they brought on the UK PC Gamer podcast guys and apparently Empire Total War is a megahit in the UK,but not so much here in the US. Of course, now I've missed out on this deal, so it doesn't matter anymore LOL..Quote:

Watching my brother play... there is a ton of strategy. From what I gathered there are 3 basic levels of the fight: canons, horse, and the line. He strategically hides his men, places calvary to break rushes, and is an expert with the artillery. There is a ton of depth there once you get it down. He started with Empire and had no previous knowledge. It is fun to watch him battle.Quote:

New Sales!

Global Agenda for $29.99
Majesty 2 for $7.50
HL2, Orange Box and each of the HL episodes are 30% off.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Dawn of War 2 is probably my favorite RTS ever and I absolutely recommend it. The base game + expansion for $20 is a crazy deal! We really need to get a 3v3 going with this at some point... it's just so damn good.
Nice, I'm gonna try and get my friend to get the Dawn of War 2 Gold Edition.
I wonder why they dont include PT, or have PT on Steam at all for that matter. Im so tempted to by this since Im hearing great things about Conviction. Unfortunately, Ubisofts DRM can kiss my *** and they will not be getting any money from me.Quote:
