Sid Meier's Civilization V: The Complete Edition - $20

It's a Steam-play game, so although it says Mac, it registers for PC and Mac.

Having played the base game a little bit, can anyone comment on the quality of the expansions. I am tempted at that price, on the other hand, that game absolutely devours any of your free time.

The Zulu's are one of the playable Civ's in the expansion. I think I might get this just to rule the world as Shaka Zulu. Shaka Zulu inventing Apollo 11 and landing on the moon :D So awesome.

Steam currently has some decent sales:

  • Activision Publisher Sale - up to 75% off
  • Star Wars Franchise Sale - up to 66% off
  • Shadowrun Returns - 66% off
 
You can download the Blizzard classic Blackthorne for free from the download section of your Battle.net account.

In addition to Blackthorne, you can now also download The Lost Vikings from us.battle.net. They list Rock N' Roll Racing as well, but from what I've read it appears to be a stripped down or demo version of some kind.
 
Eugene, should I get Beyond Good & Evil?

To be honest, the PC version of Beyond Good and Evil could have been a bit better. I'm not sure how good the GoG version is, I assume they would have fixed some of the issues, but I would suggest going on the GoG forum and see if anyone is complaining about it.

It might be a bit of a risk, but it's an awesome game nonetheless. I see there is a 30 day money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose, I reckon.

Checked on the forums, there seems to be a number of different issues that people are having, anything from sound not syncing to major visual issues, so that's a bit sad. And no native widescreen support either. Think I'll pass for now, not really in the mood to mess around with settings and fixes. It's a pity they never released the HD version on PC :/

GreenmanGaming is having a wicked Rockstar sale. I just bought GTA IV Complete Edition and LA Noire complete for under $10. (if you buy over $10, the 20% voucher still applies (FUSWJT-B1DU64-JBV8UY).
