I think we can safely say the experiment is now at an end.

I sit corrected. And more than a little surprised.

No new Deal of the Week this week...I will wait patiently for next week. Any guesses to what will go on sale next? I would like to see "Distant Worlds", "Panzer Corps" and "Making History II: The War of the World"

Mitchell, I only buy physical (boxed) games, not downloads and I prefer to support Matrix if the game is available here. Matrix and company have done more for PC gaming (especially wargaming) and I want them to be around publishing and producing for a long, long time!
I want to thank you Mitchell, for the info about the game and GamersGate! Happy Gaming!

i agree totally - i love getting the physical copies of the Matrix Games also and have happily spent quite alot on getting these. I guess it was just in case that was an option for anyone interested and from what i have read Making History Gold sounds good as well.
I am not familiar with where i guess profits go as i had thought that Matrix Games would get something from the sale of Making history 2 anywhere but perhaps it would go to developer? or does it just go to Gamersgate?

regards

These two new deals look interesting. I've never played or owned them

, can I get some comments, game play and opinions on "Tin Soldiers: Julius Caesar" and "Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great"? How do they load and run in Win 7? Thanks!

I owned a bridge too far and always wanted more of em, never was going to pay $50 for a game that's years old though and lacks the MUST HAVE factor like AE does to me, definitely will pick both of these up though on sale.

Wacht am Rhein is pretty good - intense firefights and with combat that plays out looking just like what i have seen in bw footage from the that period. Cross of Iron seems to have a poor AI but with the Grossdeutschland mod or Ostfront mod, it is much much better and more varied and active

Good stuff! though isnt it the case that with Matrix Game orders that you can just get the download right away after purchase? At least thats what i have done. I bought both games and installed them right away with the downloaded games. The hard copies i like to get though also in case my comp dies and for the collector in me in general

Mitchell, yes, downloading is available right away but I prefer the hard copy and many of the titles come with some sort of manual.

Some manuals are excellent and some are so-so.

I'm also a bit of a collector, those game cases look sweet on the shelf.

CC2 was the best game out of all of them..couldn't be beaten..best campaign system aswell. Also has Inf that can actually live long enough to do something. Great long lasting firefights etc, unlike the later games where Inf died in droves.

I can only afford one....Arnhem or Normandy. Anyone have an opinion one way or the other about the two, one better than the other? Or is it just which battle appeals to me? I play solo only, no mp, if that makes a difference. Thanks.

Gamersgate is having a mid week sale on Crusader Kings 2. You can pick up the game and the entire pack of DLC for like 30 bucks. The DLC's themselves are going for about 3 or 4 bucks a piece.

Just checked GOG... dear god, they have System Shock 2 on sale for $2.50! Damn. Anyone who hasn't played System Shock needs to go there and buy it immediately. For under 3 bucks you can't beat it.
