(Gaming) Things are Pickup Up Again.

Just in time, too. Just saw on Steam a few moments ago that they’re having more sales… This week: Paradox Interactive’s games. The list includes three that I’ve wanted, but haven’t gotten — King’s Bounty: The Legend, Europa Universalis III (with expansions), and Mount & Blade. All 50% off. I’m glad I got paid last Friday.
In other (personal) gaming news, apart from The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, I got my teeth into a couple Star Wars games this weekend — they’re both FPSs and a bit old: Battlefront 2 and Republic Commando. In my gaming binge fervor I went ahead and beat them both (or, as much as Battlefront can be beaten…).
No real need for reviews on them, here’s the skinny.
If you like Star Wars, like FPS games, and don’t mind graphics that are a bit outdated (for a reasonable price) — go ahead and get em. I think Republic Commando was 10 bucks on Steam; for that price it’s not bad, in fact it’s quite good. Both games are not top notch pieces of gaming history by any means, they’re fairly average.
And apart from Star Wars I also got around to try Dawn of Discovery — this one I will be doing a bit more on in the future. If you like real time strategy involving city building and management, along with colonial conquest and exploration, then you’ll likely enjoy this game quite a bit.
Now, I’m off to some gaming!
