I like it, and it is a decent game to dink around with. If you haven't already, I suggest downloading the Free DEMO from Steam and play it some to see if tantalizes you, and watch a youtube gameplay video. I did both, and they both helped me make my decision to get it.

I'd suggest seeing if you can get a deal on a digital download, of course. $40.00 on Steam is pretty steep, especially considering thy had a deal for like $8.00 a few months ago, plus the DLC on the cheap as well. Also, sometimes Amazon has a digital download discount sale too. If you aren't looking to get it right away, I'd setup a Google Alert for Crusader Kings 2 download sale or something like that, to get notified when a possible deal is available.

Re: Bioshock. The first is a lot of fun and worth the money. I'm sure it's really cheap by now. Good play and story. Have the second but haven't played it yet. Heard story wasn't as great bu gameplay was improved some.

As for earliest game memory, I remember getting a NES for xmas when I was around 3 and my dad hogging super mario bros 3. It's one my earliest memories.

Man this was a painto type out on an Android tablet.

I remember playing some intellivision games.

My step-mom had Intellivision. The one game I remember was Burger Time.

Also, I used to love playing the old Wing Commander. Is it possible to get that on Windows 8?

Bollocks.

Yes it is, use emulators like DOSBOX for instance:

What is the first video game you guys have memory of playing?
The first video game I have any memory of playing was Mortal Kombat II, on super nintendo, the year was probably 1994.

Super Mario Bros on the Super Nintendo.

A fun game for sure, I remember playing it as well. But I can remember playing mortal kombat before. My parents didn't allow me to play video games at that age and especially not mortal kombat because it was too violent (no kidding, that's one violent game lol), but my older brother was allowed to play it, so at least we had it. I sneaked in and played it when my parents wasn't around hehe. Ninja turtles was a favorite as well, but I think I was a little older when I played that. And then there was a game that I borrowed from a friend that I knew I wasn't allowed to play, but I hid it and only played it when my parents weren't around. I was a sneaky boy. Donkey kong country was a big favorite as well. But it was a bit too hard for me at that age.

I also played Earthworm Jim and Donkey Kong Country.

I was only about 5 years old, so for Mario, never could get past the first few levels. Hurray for early 90s Rage Quit!

I've recently discovered gog, and I've been playing Heroes of might and magic II also Ceasar 3.

Great site that has lots of cool old games. I've been getting as much amusement out of these old games as I do a more modern one at fractions of the cost!

Anyways I love Ceasar three the mix of sand box and objectives is fun/challenging

HoMM2 I played so much out of back in the day. I also had 3 and 4, but 2 I probably liked the most. But I think 4 did have the nice mechanic of having creatures roam the world without an adventurer, which was nice.

I played through each Portal game about 2 weeks ago in a 10 hour session. It was really only to hear GLaDOS' sarcasm once more.

DONT STARVE!

(with no googling, actually I lie, I googled nightmare fuel to confirm where it came from; only minor spoiler as I was already aware of the easiest way to get it)

I've heard that Fez is a decent game. Anyone play it? It is 9.99 on GOG.com, but I'll probably wait for even more of a deal.

Might and Magic 6 and 7 (not Heroes) are my all-time favorite RPGs, above even Baldur's Gate (which is second).
