Hope you enjoy it! I tried it, but the shooter mechanics of it seemed kinda bland and uninteresting so I couldn't really get into it.

picked up greed corp for $2.50 today.  Nice!

yeah - i own amnesia already.  Play it in the dark, preferably loud or with good headphones on.  Solid game.

War for Cybertron is a well done game if you like Transformers.. but as fun as the multiplayer is (and it is), the PC MP population would be pretty negligible The campaign is pretty epic, but it doesn't last over 10 hours or so.

There's a demo out for Dawn of Discovery that should give you a reasonable feel for it. In the end I decided it wasn't a game for me, but I can see how some people might really like it.

Civ IV is looking to be worth the $6 I paid for it.  I played IV when it first came out, but now they've got all the expansions and patches.   Looks like the enhancements are mostly "you spoke we listened" type things.  It's pretty fun now.   The problem is just that the fun is spread out over many, many hours, like all the Civ series are.  You sure burn a lot of your life to see how all your strategic decisions pan out.   I think I like how Sins of a Solar Empire:Diplomacy does it--it's real-time strategy, but the tech tree is long and elaborate and the games can take 3 hours (which is still a lot less than the 36 hours it takes to play a good Civ IV game).  SoaSE:Diplomacy never quite hit the bullseye on the tech tree, but I like where that was going better.

Dear Impulse sales....,

Help me help you, yes?

(GalCiv II Ultimate, Sins Trinity, Object Desktop)

Impulse still has one more day of its holiday sale (ends 3 Jan).

I have checked it every night these past two weeks to see what's newly low.

But sadly, none of my fav 3 made it to the low.

One more day I guess. 

I hope that at least 1 of my 3 picks will go on sale...all 3 of them could (and would with the simple a keystroke), but very unlikely all in one day.

Otherwise I'll keep waiting...and waiting...and waiting...

...and waiting.
