    It's such a good game, just re-installed today and it brought me back that sense of nostalgia from a few months back and I can't put down the game. I forgot how exciting and addicting it is!

    I Temporarily am putting Skyrim on hold, have not installed it yet for Civilization 5 .

    I'm mainly keeping Skyrim under the cupboard because I have exams in two weeks and won't study if I install Skyrim :p

    I haven't played in a couple months, but I'll come back to it eventually. I don't think you'll be getting much study time with Civ either :p

    I'll wait until AMD finally supports DX11 for Civ 5. ATM, AMD is being stubborn, it's been over a year and they still can't support DX11 multi-threading even though Nvidia has had it for a year now.

    Bought it, played it for ~60 hours a while back, gave up because the game mechanics are way too simplified. Haven't touched the game since May.

    I think a lot of people were holding out for the GotY Edition. That's when I noticed it jumped up because even with the 75% off sale when I got Civ V it wasn't even this high.

    I played Civ V for a short while before I realized I preferred Civ IV for the most part. Eh, some of the new mechanics were interesting but overall Civ IV had a much more epic feel to it that I really loved.

    I have it, but lost interest in it. It seems to have lost something Civ II had. Man I loved Civ II, it was the best of them all in my opinion. I Stayed up days at a time playing it with no sleep.

    Still playing Civ IV. Also had CivIII, and what a piece of garbage. After the fourth time my nation was defeated ( swordsmen can easily kill tanks?), I got fed up with it. IV was a hug improvement.
