Dracus: I just finished reading my latest PC Gamer Last night...Myth 3 got something like 50%. Purchase at your own risk.

Personally, I'm picking up SEIVG and perhaps an FPS like Max Payne or Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Although I suppose I'd better finish Ghost Recon first. Simply need something team-like to quench my TFC needs. heh heh

Also, I hear Illwinter's Dominions is also a good turn-based fantasy strategy game. It's produced by three guys, I believe, and their patch list reads frighteningly similar to our own SEIV. Not the best in graphics, but great in scope and execution. Maybe the SEIV for fantasy folks?

Was going to buy Civ III but after hearing you guys I think I'll wait. Also, I read in other Forums that a lot of gamers feel EU-2 Is way better then CIV 3, Don't know, getting EU-2 for xmas and wife won't let me touch it until then..

tks for info on Civ III, saved me some money, I'll wait for patches to catch up first. (maybe)

just some ideas mac

Delaying Purchase:
I have to agree with the others that wait to purchase a new product. I personaly try to stay a generation behind in Hardware, Software, and Operating Systems.
Professionaly I help people use computers, (Glorigied Tech Support). I even did 3 years doing support for Microsponge, er: Microsoft. (Please don't hate me)
I even continued to play SE III untill this forum gave SE IV a general sign of aproval.

I have not read the latest PC gamer, but I have played Myth and Myth II and really enjoyed them both. Took me forever to sneak into the castle.
Is PC gamer saying Myth 3 is not as good as the other too?
