Hoard, SOL: Exodus, and Demolition, Inc. looks fun but I haven't played those.

I already have Swords and Soldiers HD from one of the Humble Bundles. It is fun but kind of short.

Wings of Prey is a WWII flight sim. Nuff' said.

Thanks all! I believe I'm going to wait it out.. I picked up AC II for $4.99 and Dead Island for 11 something... I've still got so many games that i've not played... Lol but I can't help but buy games on sale.. lol Ford I like to do stuff on my on.. Not really an RTS person. so, I'll pick up Fable 3 later on a $4.99 sale.. Don't really need the other fables.. Thanks for the Info!

I think that's a good call. I have both, but I'll definitely be playing Witcher 2 first.

Wonder if I should pick up the first one, too. Or does the second one make sense even if you never played the first?

The Witcher and The Witcher 2 are both amazing,

play the first game then the second after you play 2 the graphics and improved gameplay you wont want to go back to #1 even tho its an amazing game in and of itself. the second just feels better.

Total War Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai
Saints Row The Third
Trine
Trine 2
Dead Island
The Witcher 2
Civilization V Game of the Year
Fallout 3 Game of the Year
Alan Wake + American Nightmare
Beyond Good and Evil
Sins of A Solar Empire Trinity

I'd personally go with 2K because those games, though fewer in quantity, are more of what I would like to play, mostly shooters. SEGA looks like old school games for nostalgia and a few good strategy games.

2k collection isn't all that impressive. Borderlands needs to be played online. Duke Nukem Forever is terrible. Bioshock 2 is okay but Minerva's Den is where it's at. Mafia II is okay. Civilization V is great. Spec Ops: The Line is average. Darkness II is okay.

How is Shift 2 Unleashed for $5?

I'm not much for arcade like racers. Though I do love the new NFS: Hot Pursuit.
