I got Bioshock Infinite, Hoard, and Dragon's Lair

ID, which Tomb Raider are looking for? The latest one, or any of them in the series?

I'll keep an eye out and post here if I see it.

Thanks

I picked up some adventure games that I have been wanting to play.  I think I payed less than 15$ for the three of them.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Dear Esther

I think the newest Tomb Raider is on sale for $12.50 on steam today.

I do have it and all the expansions, and it is a great game in certain aspects, and annoying in others. It is a pausable RTS, but I really hesitate to put it in the same category as other "4x RTS" games like Sins of a Solar Empire. There are no turns, everything is simultaneous and there are no separate battle instances (like Sins), but where they differ is that Distant Worlds' pace is much slower. It is also many orders of magnitude more complex. Imagine Sins, but instead of single planets per system, solar systems with up to 50 habitable planets and moons. Then times the number of systems in an average Sins game by 100. Now combine that with an economy that doesn't use a shared pool of resources like Sins does, but every planet, star base and outpost has it's own stockpile of resources. Now imagine instead of 3 resources like in Sins, add 50 different types, and each type has a specific use in weapons, shields, engines, etc. 

The good news is that the game has a very good automation system that you can pick and choose what areas you have manual control over. The AI does a really good job in it's automated abilities too. If you like, you can slowly wean yourself off of the auto control, but I'd say that's for "power users" only, or maybe for users that have been playing the game for a year. Distant Worlds allows you to focus on the areas you like best about managing a space empire. You can turn everything off except fleet control, and pretend to be a fleet admiral, defending your borders from pirates and space monsters.

It's a great game, and the sheer level of depth and replayability is amazing... but be prepared for a brick wall of a learning curve. The only gaming experience I can even closely compare it to would be Dominions 3. At first it will seem a bit overwhelming, but as you ease into it, it can be one of the best 4x experiences out there.

I don't care for twitch RTS games much, either... and Distant Worlds is definitely not twitch. As far as Endless Space goes, I really love what Amplitude has done. Endless Space is a very streamlined 4x TBS experience that is a very worthy entry into the space 4x pantheon. However, it gets criticized for a very pretty but lackluster battle system (battles are played out in phases with cards that you play, no tactical control) and that "spreadsheet" feeling.

They've added lots of personality to the game since its release, in random events, galactic wonders, pirates, exploration events, story arc choices, etc. People who says Endless Space has no personality probably only played the beta or day 1 release and haven't touched it since. Unfortunately, they just released an expansion, Disharmony, that adds depth to the combat system but has broken a few mechanics and introduced some questionable design choices that are geared towards the small but vocal multiplayer community but disturb the single player aspect. Time will tell if they'll be able to patch the expansion up well (in the meantime, original "classic" ES mode is still available). I'd say buy ES if you enjoy the exploring, expanding, exploiting phases of 4x games. If you're in it for the extermination part, you'll probably end up disappointed.

As far as providing some topic relevant material, I have so far purchased in the Steam Sale:

- LA Noire
- Universe Sandbox
- Deadlight

Mainly because they were %80 off.. one of these days I'll get around to playing them behind my backlog of other games.

I also bought The Walking Dead.

got $20, Gmod, CS:S, Demolition Inc., Dues Ex Human Revolution + all DLC for a friend.

Sold some cards.

I just got Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes for 66% off.

Thanks a million.

It's already been fixed.
