What's the opinion of the Crusader kings 2 dlc? as I'm looking at possibly getting the Pint-sized Paradox Pack (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008G0ZXSK/) tomorrow when it goes live.

Additionally, I'm also interested in the 2K Strategy pack, which contains:
- Civilization V: GOTY
- Civilization IV: Complete
- StrongHold Collection (which itself contains: Stronghold, Stronghold 2, Stronghold Crusaders, and Stronghold Legends)

So question, is the Stronghold collection worth picking up? I've been given a reccomendation for the first Stronghold, but I've heard nothing of the others.

Cheers.

The only one of any interest is the ruler designer, which lets you set up your traits and skills for a new game. More good things means an older character so you can't make a best of all character but you can make some interesting setups if you're so inclined.

The rest are all fluff and do exactly what they say on the tin. They add nothing mechanically but the emblems and mongol pack are nice enough if you're playing in their part of the world. The pack as a whole certainly isn't worth buying just for the dlc on offer. It's a nice bonus if you're interestd in Warlock or Majesty though.

As a side note, the real expansion (Sword of Islam) isn't included in that pack and the new african units are also missing.

Cheers for that. I'll likely pick up the pack any way, as I'm somewhat interested in Majesty and Warlock.

Which leaves just my other question, does anyone know how worthwhile the stronghold collection is? are the other games in the pack different/better than the first in a manner that makes them worth collecting?

The first is the best I'd say.

But will that play nice with my D2D->Gamefly version of Arma 2?

I have heard that it doesn't matter at all where you got your Arma2 pieces from, they should all fit together.

The extra music is gorgeous, as is all of the music in the game. More music = better.

Please buy The Darkness II.

Anyone think Syndicate is worth the £10 or should I wait a bit longer?

Amazon are now offering Steam codes for non-Steamworks games, which is great if you like your achievements, not so great if you like to play offline. And I'm sure Steam are trolling us, they've put out increasingly horrible Daily Deals for about a week now...

Any lists of titles this counts for or does it state so on the product page?

It's explicit. Usually you can buy either the Steam code version or the actual download version, your choice.

It's worth noting for anyone who picked up the paradox pack from an earlier sale that Amazon are offering the Pint-sized Pack as well, however it's currently not showing up on that list of discounts, but can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008G0ZXSK/

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this: http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-KOARC/...lection-bundle

What do you guys think? I heard the game was exceptionally easy. Is it still worth it?

Interesting. This doesn't show up browsing from Australia. Because EA want to keep fucking us on the price?

It was the daily deal for Saturday, it's not on sale anymore.

It's not even available to buy at Gamersgate when I look.

That's probably bullshit region locking, then. Good old EA.

Actually Zombie Driver is excellent! It was constantly updated, polished and supplied with new content, it's a true gem now.
