Jade Empire for $3.75 as well.
They've had a great deal almost every day and have taken money from my wallet every day this week.

Even though I know I am worse than hopeless at all strategy games, I'm gonna give Civ IV a shot.
Lousy bargains! Must you toy with me so!

To see how much I've spent, I've made a list of what I've purchased during Steam's Holiday sales (Black Friday up to the current Christmas sale):
Mirror's Edge: $5
Left 4 Dead GOTY pack: $7.50
Trine $10 (should have waited until the $8 sale since I still haven't played it)
STALKER: $2
OSMOS: $2
Evil Genius: $2
Sniper Elite: $2
Torchlight: $10 (like Trine, should have waited for $5)
Lucasarts Adventure Bundle: $2.50
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition : $13.60
Still plan on getting Trials 2 for $5.
Total so far: $61.60
Not too shabby.

It's a safe bet the next few days will bring more that I want as well. My New Year's Resolution (well, starting the 3rd....) - I have to finish 10 games for each new one that I purchase. My backlog is sitting at 82 now. Probably 60+ that have been booted up for 5 minutes or less. :/

Another quick question.
Which Total War game is the go to one? I've been hearing mixed opinions between Rome and Medieval II
2nd, If I get just Total Rome:Gold. Do mods work with that or do I need the expansion?
I only played Rome before, and looking to pick it up again. But if the community likes MII. I rather get that
Also, I'm so happy about the Payne sale :lol I was going to say 5$ for both. But damn...I save a buck and a quarter!

I appreciate it but you don't have to do that. If ME shows up at 7.50 or lower then that will be all the gift I need. If it doesn't i have a few games as backup buys. I will just be a little bitter about passing up some of the other deals.

Damn Activision is stingy as hell. My lifelong boycott of Activision won't be very difficult with the prices they charge.

I'm sitting at $80 spent on 15 games/bundles so far. That's better than I thought I was doing...
At this point I'm waiting for two things:
-to see if The Witcher hits in a daily deal, otherwise I'll probably buy it on the 3rd
-to see if The Void hits in a daily deal, so I can feel bad about buying it on the first day :lol
Other than that, I think I'm just going to be going for the super-cheap impulse buys from here on out.

I guess everyone is different but I actually enjoyed COD:WAW. It's the first treyarch game I actually cared for. I got it the last time it was on sale for $25 and have been happy with it. And I have no plans of getting MW2 so I guess that can factor in for some.

Just counted my total up... $97.50.
And to think that I thought I had pretty much everything I wanted on steam. :\

hey, this isnt fair. i bought civIV and beyond the sword for $13 when they were daily deals. and then they make the complete edition $13? i guess theres no way to go back on that, huh? missed out on colonization and the other expansion being basically free! arghh!
Cindres said:
Civ4 is turn-based for a start. it can be complex but at its basic level it's not really complicated. I like to call it "Sid Meierish" in that it does away with large numbers and charts and instead has stuff like 'two "foods" sustains a "guy", surplus "foods" enables growth' etc.
There is a demo of Civ4 you could try, I believe it lets you play one or two civs for a certain number of turns. Just be aware that there has been a lot of tweaks and additions since it was released, through numerous patches and two expansions.

Go with BtS directly and learn that game, it's basically the "current" Civilization IV version.
Colonization is another game though, an official Total Conversion.

thecouncil said:
Yeah but you own the best parts of the bundle already. You can go pick up Warlords for $3.39 right now, but Beyond the Sword is the better expansion.
The only reason I now have colonization is being part of the civ bundle. Game isn't that good, and it is doubtful I'll ever play it.
Also, you should have figured out after the first day some holiday deals were hitting as part of the 24 hour special.

I only own L4D2, is it still worth playing L4D1 if I haven't already? or does L4D2 make the first game obsolete?

Wait about 40 minutes or so. You'll get a rejection email. Then, try it again. It will reject any others until you get that email.
Happened to me today as well, hopefully it's just a one time glitch.
