I plan to retire fairly soon so I'm am stocking up on some great games that will keep me very busy and active for many years! I look forward to each week to see what the new Deal of the Week will be. Who else is taking advantage of this great promotion?

Happy Gaming!

I'd probably buy War Plan Orange if it was put up, otherwise I'll wait and see if it's in the holiday sale and re-evaluate, last year I think it was on the holiday sale but I couldn't pull the trigger, this year I'd like to get it but I'm guessing I'll be buying a PS4 so my holiday spending will probably avoid it given I want a PS4 and also a Vita when finances permit.

I feel vaguely guilty about not doing so having banged on about some of the titles that should be on sale, and I did want to buy Napoleon at War if it came up. Crown of Glory they can stuff; the update discount offered on release to those who had bought the original game was absolutely pathetic and it's still overpriced for me.

Rather more positively I will be sending money Slitherine/Matrix's way though with this month's gaming budget set aside for Lost Battles, and the upcoming DW and CoH expansions. Some proper releases at long last!

I'm totally strapped for cash right now due a multiple computer crash (power supply failed on one box and then the system drive developed issues on my major gaming rig). Just blew what little cash I had on a new hard drive, a new power supply, and a new CD/DVD drive.

Sorry Matrix... would really support the new initiative if I could

Oh, and thanks to Customer Support for helping with with a Harpoon 3 re-download! Great work!

Status: offline 		No Sir. I don't think it is. Here is the product info. The first version that came out was full of bugs and a counter intuitive map orientation, something that was resolved for the gold release.

Some games are massive because of all the different units and things you have to do each and every turn. What makes WWI Gold massive are all the options and event that can be played where no two games are the same.

The combat is also much better than any other AGEOD game IMO because you get to impact the battle as it progresses positioning your first and second line troop[s and reserves. It is another unsung hero in this genre and if it wasn't for the state of the initial release of the first version, I think many more would have picked it up.

The developer is still releasing patches despite its failure to generate a wider audience.

And here is another. I've not read through the entirety of those two, but they make a good preview, if even just for the screens.

Check them out for a glimpse of some of the many facets of the game.

Status: offline 		Good. I hope you can get into it. I'm always nervous about recommending games, opinions being what they are. Akin to fixing up your buddy with a girl from the office. WW1 Gold is not without its warts, one of them being an outdated tutorial, but with most of my favorite games, the good far outweigh the bad. There is much to take in on this one, but the ambiance and depth are unrivaled. IMO once again.

Indeed, I do not think the younger generation realise just what a genius (and I do not use that word lightly) that Steve Guttenberg chap really was; computer games, the Holy Bible, those incredibly* funny films....


*Was there sufficient sarcasm there?

I played it quite a bit when it was first released and yes it is quite fun. With the expansions, they offer many different locals. I loved multiplayer, but at that time there were not many multiplayer maps available. Not sure about now.

It is a beer and pretzels game with its simple click and move UI and limited actions, not that that is bad in any terms. I would also prefer a more free roaming camera instead of the fixed angle it is now. But, it is very fun and quick paced. A great game to just sit down and quickly get to the action. I think you will enjoy it as a divergence from some of the other more complex titles.

I have just recently reinstalled the game (thanks to the help of Paulo of Matrix) so if you ever want to play a multiplayer game (which is a great experience btw) just drop me a line. But I have to warn you, I'm pretty awful.
