Quoting: GuestI’m wondering if Civ 5 is any good. But there’s no demo and it’s too expensive to buy it just to try.

There's a Civ V demo for windows on Steam, which I guess you can run through Wine as well as the full game itself.

I'm not sure games made for 20" monitors will be playable on 5" screens. I don't see much dev concern about resolution and text font adaptations even for "couch steamers", let alone for a 3rd-party portable Steam machine.

One of the funniest games I've ever played! The speech mechanics are really nice, especially in the sequel, in which you got to cheer up mates with farts or literally slap some sense into them. Or was that still the first game? I don't remember quite clearly anymore.

Quoting: GuestAlmost bought on sale it. Now I wish I would have.

Don't worry, Steam Summer sale is just around the corner. ;)

I've actually heard from a couple of sources that the Linux version is actually running faster than the Windows one. Can anyone else attest that?

BTW, I wish GOL had polls so we could get a better idea of that kind of thing. It would also be useful for that whole Witcher 2 is slow/OK discussion.

Quoting: BeamboomI think it's far, far too many strategy games on PC.

Funny that my perception is that every other game that is released for PC (consoles too, for that matter) is a FPS.

In any case, even as far as strategy games go, ever since RTSs came into existence, TBSs have become less common, so I'm loving this small resurgence.

I'm buying this unless a competitor beats ROCCAT to the punch, and I hope they consider adding a version for left-handers.
