Warlock II is on sale on Steam - you can pick up the base game (c£3.50) and all the DLC for c£10 then be able to use the Renaissance mod which is sort of like a Warlock III.

I've always found it and it's predecessor a really fun fantasy version of Civ with (probably not) Sean Connery  doing the narration and Killer Rabbits from Monty Python to boot.

And it has pumpkins!

The GOG sale is impressive. I grabbed Star Trek: Judgement Rites and Ultima IV-V-VI a few days ago, and the Dark Sun series tonight, because reasons.

They have some XP thing going on...you earn it by buying stuff and can get free games. My purchase of Dark Sun tonight unlocked Spelunky. Whoop-tee-doo. But hey, free games. Dunno if they change them up every so often or not.

Spelunky is actually a pretty good platformer / puzzler.
Insert witty comment here.

Yes, be sure to check this GOG page and scroll down about midway to do the Daily Check In [Use the button to check in for 100 XP. Check in 5 times to unlock a badge.].
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Thanks, I didn't notice it that before.

I bought Renowned Explorers, Witcher III, and Age of Decadence.  Can't get Age of Decadence to work though.  It freezes as soon as I finish the tutorial and try to launch the main game.

Really? I'd never heard of it before so I guess I was willing to blow it off. I'm not much of a fan of platformers but I'll give it a shot at some point since it is recommended.

It's hard to categorize to me. Best guess is almost like the old NES castlevania games, just not as dark. it's 2D, not a true side scroller but plays that way, has combat and the ability to build up your character (purchasing items) has puzzle elements.

I've not put a whole lot of time into it...but I definitely wouldn't dismiss it out of hand. There's many other worse games out there they can give for free.

Goodness knows I played my share of side-scrolling 2D games over the years.

Combat Air Patrol 2 must have made them concerned about cutting into their profits...had to reduce prices to compete:)

Stop posting porn!


I think that is the prefect description for DCS Sims.  Aircraft porn.  As opposed to aircraft sex.

Better that, than Goat Simulator pictures.
