It's nice to have a reasonable CAG dumping ground on this board, but I'm kindof slow about updating things

I EU Rome Gold considered a fairly good representation of that series. I have never played it?

No. In my opinion it's the worst game of the EU series or indeed, any of Paradox's games.

That's too bad. I figured it would be decent based on the GameRankings score.

Well, for $10, it may not be a bad bargain buy. I'm not sure what all patches/mod improvements have come out for it. I just remember being bitterly disappointed at how shallow and dull it seemed.

Is Dark Messiah of Might and Magic any good? I've been thinking it would be cool to play on of those Might and Magic games.

Not a huge deal, but I picked up copies of City of Heroes: Good vs. Evil Edition at a couple of local GameStops for $9.99 each. Not bad considering it includes a month of game time ($14.99) and comes with a few in-game perks.

Thanks Antmeister, ordered mine. Just what I need in the middle of the summer is more video games to prevent me from golfing. I just picked up Sims 3, too. The wife is going to hate me soon enough....

It's ok, but nothing special... The IGN review called it "decent" and that's about right. I'd get it for 3 bucks. I like to call it "kick simulator 2000" because you spend of alot of time kicking things in the game.

For some reason walmart.com has the Wii version of Dawn of Discovery for $19.99 even though the game just came out today. I just ordered a copy, hopefully it goes through.

anything worth buying here? 50% off. also, I didn't realize that OOTP X/Baseball Mogul, was called Bill Spaceman Lee's OOTP X/Baseball Mogul. Odd. Last edited by Ramzavail : 06-30-2009 at 09:09 AM. |

But it's Bill Spaceman Lee's OOTP X, not the normal version.

Thanks, I know nothing about UFC but the demo was better than FNR4 so might pick this up. Saints row 2 is only £15 as well... Last edited by eiskrap : 06-30-2009 at 11:17 AM. |

I'm thinking the branding of "Bill Spaceman Lee" was a mistake for the OOTP and was only intended for the BM, but someone got a little copy/paste happy.

Yep, I was tempted too, and the fact that Friday I'll spend only € 8 for Fight Night 4 (traded in some stuff) could make feel less "guilty" to spend some money on this one. Fact is, MMA is not really my thing, and I wouldn't have the time to "get into it". As for Saints Row 2, if you liked GTA San Andreas just get it: it's a pretty fun game. |

That was my thought too. I'm wondering if it extends to the fact its on sale or not as well.

+1 Selling it for half off less than a month after release is a real kick in the nuts.

Is that the same retail version of the current OOTP that can be patched, have add ons, etc..? It if it is, I may pull the trigger on it.

Yeah, I was going to hold off for $40. I haven't played since OOTP version 6 and the interface/intuitiveness of Puresim has kept me from playing that, so if this is solid game then it would be worth the $20

Got OOTPX on sale at Strategy First and patched it already. Been downloading some pictures/ballparks/databases for it. Be aware: the Bill "Spaceman" Lee OOTP X avi file is 2.7GB (it's still downloading for 4 hours now).
