You should get Advent Rising.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on January 19, 2009, 08:14:31 PM: well, checking the site, it's still running, and i'll probably get a 14 day trial code, so i guess that's worth $3

advent rising was out of stock, i was actually going to get it

Post by: cool breeze on January 19, 2009, 08:17:38 PM: these deals are still on tomorrow, right?

A lot of what I will buy will mostly be rebuying for the PC. I probably won't ever finish Stranglehold on PS3, so might as well get it on the PC and play it proper.

Simcity Socities doesn't really start to get good until you plug in all the latest patches.

Post by: Fragamemnon on January 19, 2009, 09:43:44 PM: Simcity Socities is all sorts of awesome after all the patching that Tilted Mill did for it. Great game, nice "progression" via the different objectives and goals, lots of fun. If you were playing that CotN demo and looking for a game that sorta hit the same vibe in a bit more lighthearted way , SCS is a good pick.

Avoid the Hearts of Iron platinum, HoI1 is just piss compared to HoI2 and not worth playing (IMO).

Freespace 1 can be gotten w/ an engine upgrade via the hard light productions people for free.

The best part of that dungeon siege pack is being able to run Lazarus, the Ultima V remake :

But yeah lots of good stuff there, my big thing is that I own most of the games already (same reason I barely buy anything from GOG).

Post by: pilonv1 on January 19, 2009, 09:52:10 PM: What did Tilted Mill fix with the Societies patching? I love Hinterland and the fact they're involved gives me some hope. If only they'd update Hinterland now too :(

Really? I thought it was a fantastic game back in the day. A great sense of humor, fantastic mission design with lots of variety, and beautiful visuals. The only downside to the game were the Kabuto segments.
