    As the new year begins, the end draws near for the Steam sale. 
     
    Today two things interest me: 
     

    I know I am not playing this game for the girls, but come on!

    Settlers 7: Path to a Kingdom 
    Back in the day when CD-Roms where all the hotness, Settlers 2 was probably the hottest RTS game. The Settlers game differ from your regular RTS due to a slower pacing that concentrates itself more on economy than combat. This changed somewhat in 5&6 which were masters of none. This game seems to go back a bit to that classic pacing.

    Don't really need to explain, too bad you don't get 85% off when you own Half Life 2. 
     
      
     
     
     
     
     

    Except for these games I feel there is one other game I need to talk about.

    I say; don't buy it. That is if you like me expected basically GTA4 set in the fifties. Cause it's definitely not that. If you expect to follow a story and don't mind some clunkiness than go right ahead. Brad's review perfectly portrays my feeling of this game.  
      
     
     
     

    The other games I really don't know, they don't appeal to me but maybe they do to you.

    I'm pleasantly surprised by Mafia II. I didn't go in expecting a particularly free-form world, linearity in a story is no bad thing. Plus it was only  bucks. I say take the plunge.
