I cheat at Tyrian and use mouse.

Serious? Using mouse made the game easy mode for me. Just swing about to avoid bullets and obstacle and wallah! Level complete.

Yes, apparently so. Those of you sharing forum and Steam account password better change them now.

What the fish?

I'm waiting for this too actually.

They're all different takes on the 4X genre.

Galactic Civilization is the classical take of 4X games in space. It plays almost exactly like Civilizations, with you conquering the galaxy through any means necessary. The best part of the game has to be the ship designer feature. The AI here is very intelligent and curbstomp you if you're not careful.

Sword of the Stars can be best considered a hybrid 4X/RTS game. The empire management are rather simplified compared to other 4Xs, but it makes up for it by the different races that it offers (each races play very differently) as well as real-time tactical battles. The tech tree is also randomised each time you play, giving you a different experience each time.

I haven't played Sins of the Solar Empire, but I heard it is SotS-like in both management and tactical battles, except with a smaller scale and bigger fleets. Apparently also balanced better, but I wouldn't know about that.

You can. You just need to verify Steam and the game once online. After that you can set your Steam to offline mode and play.

Heh Origin. Which reminded me, I haven't tied my Mass Effect 2 with Origins. Not sure if I'll ever get around to do it anyway.

Hopefully. That way I don't need to buy anymore later.


Yes?

LoL.

Talk about shooting themselves in the foot. What's this bs about region restriction?

It's very different from the previous Civ games though, so you might or might not like it depending on your preferences. (Biggest change was the 1-unit-per-tile thing and use of hexes instead of squares.)

Only bought Duke Nukem Forever.

Price berapa?

This. Steam needs some time to resolve... whatever it is it's doing before you can click anything again. Usually happens to me when Steam is in the midst of downloading games/syncing.

This.

(I still haven't finished my second playthrough.)

...

The heck?

Yeah, I'm from Sarawak. Land of treetops houses and helicopters.

Still happily using my HD5850.

Yes I believe the game count takes into account DLCs as well. I rechecked my game list to be sure. Can't be more than a hundred games there. (I'm not that mad yet.)
