Noone yet beat that when it comes to spaceship customization. GalCiv only features eye-candy in that regard, sadly.[/quote] Have to agree that GalCiv 2's ship customization is mostly aesthetic, but I'm not too sure about MoO 2 b

[quote who="SylKen77" reply="13" id="2264267"]A little Chicken and egg problem there... Steam charges 49,99 euros for prototype which i think is too much. Impulse had it for $48.50 (€ 35,11 EUR)*, thus not thinking that $1 = €1... that's more fair to me so I wanted to buy it on impulse... too bad I can't I will not buy it for 50 euros...[/quote] Costs <a href="http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/3476489/Pr

AI's definitely improved. VH/VH used to be a cakewalk. Of course, with the change in maintenance costs, I've had to restart since I'd expanded too quickly in my VH/VH game and had my economy in the red post-patch. =P Anyone seen naval invasions yet?

[quote who="JuleTron" reply="17" id="2164456"] So you would rather pay alot more for a game just to get a shiny box rather then pay/download at a lower price?[/quote] Aside from sales, when have downloaded games been a lot cheaper than their boxed counterparts? If anything, game prices depreciate more quickly at retail than they do on services such as Steam and Impulse. Personally, I still purchase most of my games from mail-order stores since it's often c

[quote who="Grottenolm85" reply="2" id="2066424"]Steam is already shit and Impulse seems to be following soon. Now i saw the SINS:Entrenchment advertisement that says: $9.95 / €9.95 / £7.95 In other Words US citizens pay $9,95, british citizens pay $11,36(+Changing fees) and Europeans even pay $12,59(+Changing fees) for the exact same product.

Try updating your BIOS as well. If that (and the cooling pad) doesn't work, you might want to consider sending your notebook in for a replacement. A number of G84M and G86M-based GPUs have been revealed to be defective. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=12553

[quote who="xcorps" reply="1" id="2068194"]Heft, I bought that UFO Alien Invasion when it first released. I was expecting a clone to Xcom, and was disappointed when it turned out to be 'just' the tactical combat. Then was even more disappointed when the tactical combat turned out to be weak as water. I played maybe 10 hours before I tossed it. Has it improved greatly since release?[/quote] I think you're confusing UFO: Extraterrestrials with UFO: Alien Invasion, which is an

[quote who="Blair Fraser" reply="19" id="2067814"] sigh. I want to play (I have Shogun, Medieval II (+ expansions) and Rome). We can't get it to run more than 5fps.[/quote] Could it be some other app you guys are running? Heard there were issues with Vista, but my Vista rig from 2007 is handling it fine thankfully.

I don't think I've ever heard of SecuROM v7.0 causing hardware trouble. StarForce on the other hand has caused me to reinstall my sound drivers after trying to run their remove tool.

They didn't switch over 1:1 for everything. The Valve Complete Pack is listed as EUR 89.99 including VAT, used to be USD 99.99 and I had to add 25% for VAT (USD 124.99).

[quote who="Nathaniel Richter" reply="6" id="1976180"]Both EU3+expansions and EU:R+expansion are excellent games. They also have games that take place in the [b]Victorian era[/b] as well as WW2 but they [b]lack some of the depth[/b] of the more current games. [/quote] Not disagreeing with you when it comes to HoI or HoI2, but wasn't the problem with Victoria that it had too much depth and an interface that couldn't handle it? [quote quoting="post"]<br

[quote who="elias001" reply="24" id="1900143"]The sad thing about copy protection is that if people really want to copy/pirate/distribute something illegally, they will do it regardless of protection or no protection. As far as torrents sites goes, well..at least the english version of various torrent sites like [b]The Pirate Bay[/b], IsoHunt, MiniNova, and others [b]are relatively nice when it comes agreeing to publisher's request to delist torrents links[/b].
