Is well worth the ms points , I don't know how I found the time to blog about this to giantbomb. But its addicting, colorfull , and just flat out too much fun. 
I wish more games were more like this..

When game developers force me to buy the game again to get "exclusive content"...
Example:forza 3.
So I'm playing forza 3 last night , and remembered oh hey I have some ms points left , and I bet it would be freaking awesome to have a lexus LFA. I mean all carbon fiber body , hand built v-10 , tuned by yamaha. Hell yea I want my hands on that modern day pissed off supra looking super car by lexus. But no, thanks turn 10 and microsoft for being dicks. You release all the other dlc on the market place but to get "stigs garage" Include the Mercedes benz sls , lexus lfa, and  the Koeniggsegg CCX "
Available exclusively for Forza Motorsport 3 Ultimate Collection owners, the Stig’s Garage is a three-car downloadable add-on pack that features a trio of the hottest cars ever to grace asphalt (real or virtual). " Wtf I own most of the downloadable content, and bought the game 2 weeks after launch at full retail. I've probably spend around 80-90 on just your game alone, and now I have to spend another 30-45 for 3 cars, I'll pass until MAYBE forza4 ,we will see.... I can sense that i'm a few steps away from switching over to pc gaming exclusively, maybe then I can patch , and mod my own games, not get charged an arm and a leg for dlc, and I get to choose how my gaming enviornment is set up, only time will tell...

My Composition teacher once told my class that he failed his first two semesters of college because of staying up all night playing one pc game..
That game was civilization.
 
So one day around christmas I was browsing the steam store and noticed they had Civ Iv with all of its expansions packs for about  $7 after tax and what not , so I took out my credit card and said hey why not its only $7.
 
Boy oh boy once the whole game finished downloading onto my computer I quickly got my $7 worth of gameplay. That first night alone I played from 12 am to 8am without even realizing I played that long , I was about to go to bed that way I could get sleep for the next day , but before I did that I decided I would see how long I had been playing. Yea  8 hours, wtf mate. I still have not finished my first game I started but I'm awfuly close (1 civilization left to conquer and I'm done). And that moment on I saw why my teacher failed, it's an amazing game that isn't too difficult , over the top , or hard to play. Its simplistic gameplay , along with customization , allows you to choose exactly how and what size your nation is , and you could choose to grow at your pace, make your own shots, and develop and research what you wanted too. It was a free world in a way no other game I had ever played had done. Sure in Grand Theft Auto you have a free world, but here I was creating , destroying ,and advancing my nation to be a power house it made sim city look under featured , and just barbaric. Any way if you ever have the chance I recommencd you play a civilization game at least once , it may change your life. 
 
PS: Okay so its not necessarily life changing itself but It can take away alot of your time , allowing major changes in your life to occur.
