Interestingly, 2K/Firaxis are saying that they will essentially guarantee the Elite Soldier Pack to Steam pre-orders anyway:

It was great fun last night, although there was a certain pesky spy mentioned above that I am going to have to hunt down and pummel next time. At least I learnt a few things (1. I suck as Demoman; 2....

Sorry I didn't make it last night, the requests of a pregnant wife are not to be disregarded.



The couple of sessions I have been to have been fun, which is the important thing for me. I've...

I learnt that some forward planning, playing of demos in advance, and most importantly stopping and thinking about what I am considering buying can help me stop wasting money on games that I don't...

The only thing to add to my list is a copy of the DoubleFine bundle as an anniversary present for my wife. I'm quite happy with £22 for me and £9 for gifts.

I was going to say that 10pm was a little late for me, but my wife and I are expecting a baby, so I should probably start training myself for late nights and limited sleep.

I'm not sure if I I'll...

It looks like we will have to wait to find out. South Africa were sensational.

That was excellent fun, thanks guys. I was having microphone problems as well, I'll get that sorted for next time. I'll also try something other than Heavy.

I can't offer any opinion on maps and...

I'm amusingthebrood on Steam as well.

He is very useful to have at 7. De Villiers took five catches, it will be interesting to see if keeping wicket is detrimental to his batting.

I am not in any way sat at my desk at work reading it and eating chocolate instead of doing my job. Not at all.

Agreed. I tried with the keyboard to start with, but the pad felt much easier to me. Glad you enjoyed it though, I love the game as well.

Civ V

I have sunk many hundreds of hours into II, III, and IV and was cautious of V after reading reaction to it, but I am really enjoying the fresh perspective on Civ. It does some things better,...

I've joined the group as well, I hope nobody minds. I haven't played competitive FPS with humans for about 15 years, but have been fancying some shooting of men for a little while. TF2 looks fun, but...

For me, this is a key aspect. I don't enjoy playing games where I have no control over a situation or no ability to change the outcome. If I am killed because my skills/knowledge/dexterity were...

Well, The Binding of Isaac is interesting, isn't it? One of the more unique £1.48s I've spent.

So far:

£ 2.99 Trine 2 as a gift for my wife as we enjoyed playing through the first one.
£ 1.71 Sanctum DLC
£ 7.12 Sonic Generations and DLC
£ 1.48 Binding of Issac and DLC
£ 8.61 Civ V and...

I am currently playing Civ V. I finally picked it up in the recent free weekend/discount. I have a long history in Civs II to IV and am now really enjoying V. I was planning on waiting a while to get...

My wife used to work night shifts, so you have my sympathy. One thing that helped her was to eat her largest meal when she got up in the evening and only eat lightly at the end of the night before...

I was a big fan of the Impressions city builders. Managing to build one of the big pyramids in Pharaoh felt like a massive achievement.

I've been planning for the summer sale carefully. I can get over excited and carried away, so with a little forethought I hope I will avoid spending too much money and ending up with too many games...

I think you are right, but it is going to be interesting to see which batsmen are picked, and how they perform.

Nope purely about Asylum, I don't have City (and am a long way behind the leading edge of shiny new games). From what you say I'm not overly optimistic, but I'll keep on going as it is all nicely...

I finally completed Serious Sam HD: TFE. I had finished it in co-op with a friend, but never single player. I still love the game to bits, especially in shiny HD. I find it only rarely comes close to...

On a slightly different tack I try to avoid using weapons of mass destruction in games with a vaguely realistic setting. I fought a nuclear war in Civ 2 many years ago and haven't used a nuke in...
