But to appreciate this you have to get to the end game first. I lost interest long before that. Whenever I play it now I don't even bother with missions, I just wreak havoc (which brings in swarms of enemies and I give up for another few months).Originally Posted by The JG Man
Just about 300 of them.
Perhaps.
No, but you unlock them and vehicles via making a mess.
That's true enough, although there's quite a lot of variation in the scenery. Fighting in, say, the forest is different to a village, and that's different to a factory/plant/dock and that's different to the snow. Largely it's different in just the amount of "cover", but you can do some fun things with the grapple in some places that you can't in others.
AI War: Fleet Command is the daily on Steam. Not my type of game but I have one of those 50% off coupons. If anyone's interested, just send me a pm.
Buy 1 get 1 D&D games at GOG. Plus they'll throw ToEE in for free in addition if you don't already have it.

What do we make of current Steam Midweek Madness sale: Cities XL 2012 for £7.50?
Would I, as someone who suspects he really would love SimCity 4 if only it ran properly, like it?
I'm going to buy two games from GoG, and one of them will be Planescape. The other will be either Baldur's Gate 1 or 2. Which one should I get? GO!
If you plan to play both BG games eventually, 1. If you're not sure you'll like it, 2.
You should unequivocally get both. It'd be madness to play 2 without having played 1, and it'd be foolish in the extreme to play 1 and not play 2. Furthermore, you should install BGT, which turns them into a single game under the BG2 engine, per the instructions here:

This. You speak the truth as always!
Buy BG1, get BG2, and wait for a better deal on Planescape.
You could always just get the D&D pack from sites like Gamersgate. Both Baldurs, both Icewinds, ToEE, Planescape, for 20 USD. And that's the non sale price. Infinity Engine generally works rather well on modern OS so no real messing around needed.
In other news, Dawn of Fantasy is free for members of IGN prime. If you got a free trial to check out the Gamersgate 15 percent or Rochard, you might still have access.
Seconding the IGN Prime thing, I was worried my subscription was no cancelled, but it reads "User does not have any active subscriptions" on my member page. Did anyone got charged?
Just checked the bank and I never was. Slightly annoying that they don't remove you from the mailing list when your account lapses, though that's probably intentional.
Nice catch, despite being an MMORTS its subscription free so it is actually a free thing you might want.
I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way

For a second I thought you were describing Minecraft.
Sorry to drag this over to the next page, but I saw this and it is just not fair on the amount of effort they put into making JC2. Not only are there hundreds of collectibles, but there are hundreds of really cool easter eggs, like the black smoke monster from Lost, the hatch and plane crash from Lost also. A body of water with a remote controlled shark fin swimming around, the pier from I Am Legend, hidden pockets of winter, underwater ruins, hidden bubble blaster and a lot more. It's full of great stuff to find.

Indievania is out of beta, having a launch sale. Notables include Cardinal Quest, Cthulu Saves the World, Inside a Star Filled sky. All the sale titles are 1-2 USD.
They've also commited to DRM free only games just recently.
Any thoughts on Cardinal Quest? I was upset when I didn't get to try the free version, but more importantly than "is it worth $1?" is it worth my time?
Really glad you brought this up, I was going to if no one else did. Saying Just Cause 2 doesn't have cool hidden details is a Stalinesque revision of the actual truth. Although there probably aren't "hundreds" of them. :)
