Steam 2014 Winter Sale

[BanzaiCat]

Weird, I was able to get Grim Dawn to launch. Had to run a 'repair.exe' file in the folder, verify the files' integrity, and then restart Steam, and it came right up.

Not too bad a game - basically Dungeon Siege with some kind of zombie post-apocalyptic landscape and people reverting to shot-and-pike type weaponry. An odd combo but intriguing. Hope the story continues to grow.

They should take your description of the game and use it. Probably worth an additional six figures in sales

Can it be compared to Legend of Van Helsing? To me it looks more gooder, but in the same vein, as that game.

Yes.  Although something about Van Helsing didn't sit right with me.  At least, I didn't immediately enjoy it from the start like I did Titan Quest (which is what it's closest to).  Same type of game though.

Prison Architect may very well be the best game I've bought in a long time.

Once your done building the prisons with PA, you can take a look at the Escapists which is about breaking out of prisons:)  Games are unrelated but seem to have a similar look....

Do players just build prisons in the game or.do they run then day to day too? Are there riots and such to get through? Anything like that?

You run the prison and have riots...from the games description....

Build and Manage A Maximum Security Prison.

Prison Architect is the world's latest Prison Management Sim. Starting with an empty plot of land you must construct a holding cell with basic water and electricity to house your first batch of prisoners, to buy you enough time to create a proper cell block. You'll need to hire some guards, get some showers built and unless the kitchen is up and running with chefs working away you're going to end up with a riot on your hands. From there you take your prison in which-ever direction you like. A monsterous super-max or comfortable center for rehabilitation, the choice is up to you

instead of FSX ... i got xplane10 last night 50% sale   
(i saw a German video from a simmer with some free addons and one payware clouds/weather installed that was was just stunning flyig a small plane in the Austrian Alps to destination Insbruck )
FSX is over the apogee of its software-enegeering lifecycle, while xplane is still on the up-leg, 64bit, ...only malus: not sooo many addons ...yet!

not to mention escape attempts, via tunneling or if you leave a gate open they run for it. Don't know if they added fence cutting. fights, murder, shakedowns for contraband, it really is a another early access done right. This and doorkickers are really good examples of early access done right......O and 7 days to die ain't half bad either ;)

I you like management sims you really cant go wrong with PA.

[Slick Wilhelm]

Speaking of Management games, I just picked up Tropico 5 on Steam. Very good tutorials, and I like the user interface. I also like the fact that you start the game as a governor of the crown, and you can eventually declare yourself independent and ally your island with the Central Powers.

One mistake I noticed already is that the game refers to the two sides in WWI as the Axis and Allies, instead of the correct terms Central Powers and Entente.

Yeah.  You control everything day to day.  It's actually a very well done game with a ton of little micro-management things to tweek out your prison.  Right now I'm putting the finishing touches on my initial high security wing and finally put some prisoners to work in the laundry room.  I just need to figure out how to get someone "qualified" to wash dishes in the kitchen.  I'm aiming for the sensor cameras and remote doors next. 

The best part is I got Prison Architect and Project Zomboid for like $12 total.
