    I found it ****.

    Timed clicks is not my idea of a fun RPG.

    Have to say , I felt the same. But it also didn't help that I was having major graphics issues on my 4850 gpu too.

    Mass Effect 1 = Good but with much archaic RPG busywork
    Mass Effect 2 = Streamlined, but alienating to those what thrived on the tedious aspects of the original

    Fixed. :p

    Why you cheeky monkey.

    It was the apparent impossibility of being killed in the sequel, short of virtual suicide. Once you master the "duck and autoheal" tactic you've pretty much finished the game.

    Todays offers up, anyone have anything to say about Battlefield 2 collection before I buy?

    I kinda get the impression it's all about the multiplayer, which I'm not really looking for. Don't want to drop my money on it (even if it is just a fiver) if the singleplayer is awful.

    I hated bf2.
    Of course I know a lot of people who love it.

    It's pretty much multiplayer only, single player is just small multiplayer maps with bots.

    It basically only a mulitplayer. If you want single player again get battlefield: bad company 2, it the neext inline after BF2. That has a pretty decent single player compaign and the multiplayer is awesome!

    Yeah, decided against getting it.

    Just noticed though that The Civilization IV Complete Edition (Civ IV, the two expansions and Civ IV: Colonization) is going for €6.24.
    So I got that, CivCity: Rome and Shattered Union to use up the €8 I had left on a 3v voucher.

    No idea what the last 2 are like but they're €1 and €0.50 respectively, so not exactly breaking the bank, and Civ IV is awesome (though I never got into Colonization).

    Dragon Age: Origins and Oblivion are superb games.

    You will not be here again until Easter.

    Just got the Hitman collection and red Faction. Steam sales are very addictive. They have some great bargains out there. Although my poor credit card may beg to differ!

    I just need a new laptop so I can play more than 5 minutes without a crash :(
