Europa Universalis IV released the Wealth of nations expansion a few days back. I will need to pick this up when I get a chance.
Drivers are now live to be able to use an XB1 controller on the PC.
Anyone looking for a great PC game that is similar to Sim City but also has fighting. I picked up Dawn of Discovery the Gold edition on Steam for $14.99. I've played the first one, it comes with the Venice upgrade pack which is more levels and maps. I've played the first for about 3 hours and it's really fun, it has the fun of building like Sim City but also has the other islands asking for trade routes, supplies, etc...
The graphics and music are really good too!
Morale of the story, this is the best $15 I've spent in a while.
Also picked up 1701 A.D. it's great game too, has a better tutorial.
Paradox has a huge sale right now on steam. I picked up the complete editions of Victoria I and II for $5.99. That's an 85% savings. I also picked up the latest expansion DLC for Europa Universalis IV (Wealth of nations DLC for 33% off). Great deals!
Origin has Sim City 2000: Special Edition, as their current free "On the House" game. Downloading it right now. Sim City 2000 was my first Sim City game, and I was hooked from the first time I fired it up. It's gonna be a treat firing up this old girl again. Spent so many hours and days as a kid building cities on SC2K.

Can anyone recommend a good strategy game where you have to build up resources then fight? The one that "looks" really good is Citadels, however it seemed to get horrible reviews. I like the idea behind the game but people say it freezes up, locks up, or just shuts down so I don't want to waste my time or money on it. It does look like what I'm looking for though.

Can anyone suggest something similar? I like the idea of having to collect things, build up an army sustain them and then fight with them. Would this be something like Age of Empires? If so, would you recommend Age of Empires II HD or III? I've read pros and cons of each version, they both seem good and bad in different ways.
I'm looking for something that's either old-timey, i.e. medieval up to WWII or even present day, I'm not really interested in futuristic stuff or fighting vs aliens stuff so I know I wouldn't enjoy the genre that is futuristic.
Thanks for any tips/suggestions.
The question becomes do you want bases or not bases?? The days of base building are gone unfortunately ( as I loved C & C 3). For what I think you are asking Age of Empires is your best bet....... The total war series is pretty good but its a mix of 4x and RTS. Those kinda games are few and far between now which is unfortunate...if you want to just collect resources and fight you have the Wargame series.
I made a pretty easy transition from Age of empires II into total war series, were personally I like total war the most but they kinda aren't comparable.
I haven't played the HD version or III so I can't help you there.
I think I want bases, I'd like to build a headquarters area or a fort where the troops/fighters originate from then I sent them out to battle.
I have Civ V and I really enjoy it but the only thing con that I don't care for is the turn base. I'm not sure what it's called, but similar to Sim City, you just play and play, no waiting for the CPU or opponent to take a turn.
It seemed like in the videos I've watched on Citadel was what I'm looking for, unfortunately it has such horrible reviews I don't want to take the risk. I can understand some reviews not being favorable or people like or dislike a game but that one seemed to get a huge F, across the board it seemed like people wanted to give it a 0 our of 10, and they all say not to waste your money. That's disappointing b/c it looks great.
Sandbox survival that isn't zombies. Might be worth a shot here too.

Has anyone played Perfect Golf for PC? It's $19.99 over at Steam and it looks pretty nice. Just wondered if anyone has given it a shot?
Its been on my radar for sometime now, but since I bought golf club I think I have made my golf game quota for the year or so...:) I am seeing alot of mixed reviews on it, most seem to like it but the motion hitting seems to be giving alot of people some trouble.
There is a new Cities XXL coming out tomorrow, we will see if it a big let down like Sim City was, I went ahead and bought it since I had 20.00 left in my account from the summer/winter sale that I didnt use.
I am fully expecting it to be like the others they just fixed the "memeory leak" issue, though I didnt think the other ones were terrible they just got real laggy.
Cities skylines looks promising though, if nothing else its appears to be a pretty game.
