I would dispute CivV being Civ-lite. It's better explained as Civ reboot. They're slowly reintegrating most of the missing things left out of Civ4, but better designed and balanced now.

Bastion (+Soundtrack)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (+DLC)
Fallout 3 (GOTY)
Sid Meyer's Civilization V (+DLC)
Not as bad as previous sales...I think Civ V was the most expensive at $12 with everything but G+K. And I got the soudtrack to Bastion, which is awesome.

I got "Saints Row the Third", which is an awesomely fun game and was well worth its $12 or so, then I've got the "Bioshock 2" which was, as expected, pretty disappointing but ok for $10 or so, then I've got the "DA:O Ultimate Edition" which I already had but I had it on unreliable and annoying DVD media and I just wanted it in digital, DRM-infested form , and it was also about $10 or so... All in all I've spent less than in previous years.

That made me chuckle a little.
Are those even games though? I bought Dear Esther for my Gf, she likes mysterious themes like that. When she finishes it im going to give it a "play" too.

Same here. Sometimes I have trouble doing the translation when Xbox buttons appear on screen though. Especially when A looks so similar to triangle.

Id love to try this. Since i already have a PS3 might as well try this before buying another controller. Whats the best software to use? Im doing some research on youtube, but before i start installing random files, what did you guys use that is tried and true? Windows 7 64-bit here.
