This reminds me that I already own Chaos Theory and have yet to play it… Good to see much Civ 4 praise in these threads. Thoroughly deserved. That boxed Complete Edition from Play is about the best gaming bang for your buck I can imagine. Oh and Braid is glorious, anyone who was in any doubt now has no excuse.

Oh, club foot. Pardon to those of you with Giles Smith syndrome, or those who are clubfoot enthusiasts.

Too bad your CitiesXL Limited Edition digital bling goes toward dressing an avatar that looks–at best–like a clubbed foot.

Can you guys mark D2D offers as such in the article content, so I don’t click on the link and get all dissapointed-like?

No love, Australian Gaming Ghetto Resident

I guess it’s time I stopped relying on the infinitely-copied versions of TFTD and UFO I’ve been working from since time began. ‘sides, I’d like a crack at interceptor, even if it’s not all that. The main three alone are worth far more than £5, even if I have one on CD, so screw it. Thanks again, Lewie.

“HOWEVER: AC’s world was so so so much cooler than Civ’s anemic canned history. The factions, tech tree, units, encyclopedia were all redolent of chunky, flavoursome hard sci-fi. As a generator of epic planetary opera, AC was peerless.”

I couldn’t disagree with any of that, AC is really it’s own subgenre and simultaneously one of the best games possible FOR said subgenre. I constantly go back and forth between wanting a new AC game and being terrified they’d screw up the franchise.

The ECA thing appears to be US only?

@Mrrobsa
The Bargain bucket is mainly focussed on DD special offers. If you want good deals on boxed games, then perhaps you should try checking out my site SavyGamer.co.uk

Manhunt did not have multiplayer. It did, however, support headsets. If you wore one (I think only on consoles, but I’m not sure), you’d get the voice of the antagonist through that headset, exactly as the player character was, while getting game sounds through your TV speakers. Anything you said into the microphone would also count as a noise in game and the enemies would investigate. There wasn’t any real reason to do it other than immersion, but you could.
